It appears that texting is causing the ability of people to write (and read, and use) grammar is weakening. This is especially a problem for us since our culture is highly based on written materials. If children don’t develop the competence to use written language, it cuts them off from many aspects of Yiddishkeit. It is also problem that many people tend to spend all day staring at a device, which again clashes with our cultural values which involve more than looking at a smartphone. However these are problems for adults as well as children, but children normally copy their parents (even if parents don’t admit it).
