Now esewhere I mentioned a dissertation that a SNA is working on.She did ask me for some suggestions about how to narrow down the subject of spelling in English.Mine was that she could try to see if there was a connection between the increasing use of text messaging and text shorthand and an increasing level or poor spelling in english.I said it without much thought but she liked it.The problem is that she couldn't find anything through the search engine just using text messaging.

Has anyone come across any articles/links about this new phenomenon.I've seen the evidence with my own eyes in english and in everyday life but what she needs is some solid research.Can anyone help?

I've put this in the Internet forum because I couldn't think in which forum to place it.If it's wrong can it be redirected?
