I've thought for a long that that texting or the process of abbreviating words into smaller and more phonetic strings encourages a better understanding of language. First, through an analysis of the syllabic patterns of language and the key sounds necessary for effective communication. The different in "your" and "you're" becomes apparent as people have to learn to differentiate between the two to eliminate confusion, and still more with words like "it's" and "its." It is at best a subliminal method of encouraging a greater analysis of communication and enhancing communication between people. I believe that as modes of intra personal communication increases we will have a more literate and better educated society capable of communicating problems and solving disputes quickly.
However, I think that as a whole text does have a pitfall in communicability for those foreign learners who may be prematurely introduced into the world of text without enough understanding of the language to decode the patterns that lead to the txt equivalents.
