Eric Martin Tweet

I'm sure there are some people on HB that would like to blaze with the inventors of Aqua Fresh toothpaste.

 
I'm glad to see someone sticking up for Nebraska. All the players on the team and frankly I find it fitting that Eric Martin would speak up for the Huskers! At least he has some balls. Bulletin board material is for teams that need it. I doubt OU and Bob Stoops need to use that tweet.

...You know, I don't care what their 'tweets' look like. My problem is that texting, tweeting, and facebook status updates have become so much a part of young people's lives that they don't know how to separate that from times when 'proper' or academic English is appropriate. You should try reading a high school student's report that is half written in 'text' language. I actually have to tell the kids at the time of the assignment that 'text' language is unacceptable.

It's not a fear, it's a reality. I had students turn in papers that were half written in 'text' language. The worst part was, they had no idea why I was handing it back, ungraded, and telling them to re-write it. I'm not affraid of anything, I just think these kids spend so much time texting, and so little time reading English, that they don't even realize that they shouldn't turn in a formal paper written in text.
