Going against the (grumpy) grain:

"A new study from California's Stanford University has produced some 
reassuring news: Young people may not be writing so badly after all, 
and, in fact, their prose is evolving in some promising new ways. They 
write more on their own time, their school essays are longer, their 
voices are more attuned to the people who will read their words. They 
know better -- at least by university -- than to drop text-speak into a 
class paper."
