Texting affects ability to interpret words

Quote:
"The people who accepted more words did so because they were better able to interpret the meaning of the word, or tolerate the word, even if they didn't recognize the word. Students who reported texting more rejected more words instead of acknowledging them as possible words."
So, people who spend more time reading print books, magazines, and newspapers are better readers than those who spend a lot of time texting.
If u txt like ths ur brane trns to mush. ZOMG!!! LOL!?!

Does sexting affect other obvious ability?

Strangely, 99% of the people that I text don't use shorthand with the exception of acronyms.
