If you have tweens or teens, you've probably grown accustomed to seeing them lighted by the glow of a phone screen from below. Well, there's some good and bad news coming from the hours they spend speed-tapping notes to one another.
Good news: The hours your kids are spending face-to-phone screen are paying off. They have become fluent in a second language. Bad news: That language is texting.
Worse news: OMG, there isn’t (yet) a texting portion on the SAT, so they’ll need to work harder to recover those grammar skills they are killing with every LOL and BRB.
The more they send and receive texts, the worse their grammar skills become, according to a recent study.
