Although at 18, I am part of the audience seen as responsible for this, it really annoys me.

The English Language is a beautiful strong language with a great history. With the introduction of text messages, chat rooms etc the lazyway of typing 'Lyz dis' is slowly turning into the norm. With the way in which languages progress the popular choice prevails and I worry that this will soon be the norm, with the more formal usage of our traditional language fading away.

Also, people my age (and indeed many adults) seem to have very little respect for, and understanding of grammar.

Does this bother anyone else? Or should we respect this change, and adapt ourselves to use the language favoured by the young, and future generation of people?
