Does using an iPhone to ask-public contribute to the silly typos I am seeing more of?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I know I have problems with a much higher typo rate on my Treo because of the tiny keyboard, but I am sufficiently retentive to take the time to correct my typos. Some people claim what you describe is a burgeoning new language, myself, I find it to be general laziness, shifting the burden of clarity onto the recipient rather than the sender. I certainly hope this is not accepted as standard expression, or we will have: “2 B o nt 2 B? Tht z th ? Is nblr 2 sfr th. . .”
