Interestingly, I was at a presentation about social media at my son's school (middle and upper school), and someone commented that students sometimes included texting shorthand in their papers. The person said, "Of course, we have to teach them when and when not to use techniques like that. Because that won't be acceptable in their work environments." And I thought, really? Maybe, maybe not. Conventions change... That one made me laugh out loud, Eric!!

I totally agree that the Social Media Marketing (SMM) which is taking place these days is a form or oratory and given this, it's indeed time to teach the young digital natives how to write. That's going to be tricky stuff, however, as before you can teach them the concepts behind powerful and motivational writing, "u will have 2 teach them 2 write in English." Thanks for the insight!
