After reading "A way with words, or Away with words"

In modern society, texting and instant messaging quickly captured the hearts of young people. Some scholars believe that when the txt becomes a trend, people's real life communication skills will be gradually weakened. They fear that this would affect children to use the standard English language in the future.But the writer do not agree with it, he thinks txt will not let people away with words, and actually it may give people a new way with words. Because firstly, people cannot use txt without knowing English, when people use txt, they must understand its contents. Secondly, with people grow up, they will use the txt less than they were young, because when people step into society, they will be more formal and professional. Thirdly, txt is just a new product of the English development, it need time to be adopt.The writer use a lot of citation to proof his thesis, and the best one is firstly to introduce a opposite view, and then use arguments to refute this view. I think this essay is persuasive, because it has enough evidence to support the writer's claim, when I finished reading, I can say something why txt will not let people away with words and I really agree with it.
