OMG did you here? i know right!!!! its crazzzyyy! In this day and age, texting is one of the main types of communication. Whether children choose to use correct grammar when texting, do they really know proper grammar for everyday use?

They know that texting slang…

How do we decide what is correct and incorrect in terms of grammar and who decides this? Prescriptive rules and language authority are often talked about in the book How English Works by Anne Curzan and Michael Adams (Curzan and Adams, 2012). After doing some reading and research, the usage of prescriptive grammar rules in my future classroom would be very limited.
