I believe that her position on the topic of texting being damaging to the English language is a very probable one to take. Obviously the overwhelming majority of teens and even adults abbreviate things and use the shortest spelling of a word, despite its incorrectness. Personally, I believe that she went about the argument a little to subjectively and it felt like she was merely using her word against mine (and the rest of the readers). She could have avoided this by using more credible sources and keeping her blunt opinion more concealed and stuck with the facts. Personally, I am someone who hardly ever uses abbreviations and truly thinks about what I want to say before I text it out. I even go back and make sure that it makes sense and catch any grammatical errors I may have made. So from that sense, her argument is the opposite of how I text, but I can definitely see where she's coming from because I see it a lot with my friends. However, it just depends on the kind of person you are and how much you feel the need to be grammatically correct on a regular basis. Overall this can come off as a subjective topic, but by better analysis and research, she could have made a stronger argument toward the goal of her paper.
