Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

Yes, I think texting has adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena.We are taught that we are not to write the way we talk. In texting we type exactly how we talk. Sometimes we even use abbreviations such as "lol", "ttyl" etc.More times than not, we get used to the way we text, (since we do it so often) and we start writing and/or speaking like that, too. Now, instead of laughing, someone might literally say "lol".
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

I honestly believe that, yes, texting does have adverse effects. I'm not saying this just because I don't have a cell phone and want one, I say this because I have had a cell phone and I texted almost non stop, I got to the point where if I didn't text people back almost immediately, they thought something was wrong, even during school. Now, I regret having that because many people, especially my close friends, have noticed that I have an even harder time talking to someone unless it is in Instant Messaging or E-mails, and I know if i had texting I would be doing that constantly, and it's not just me, there are many others I have seen become more isolated and their main means of communication is texting. Also, in some of my classes we have to read and grade other people's writing, and it bugs me immensely when someone uses "text-speak" in their writing, or even IM-ing me. I also think it effects people's spelling and grammar, because when you text you don't need to know how to spell, nor do you need to even really make grammatical sense. Most kids, and some adults, have problems spelling and I think it is because either they just don't care about actually sounding intelligent, or they don't realize they don't know how to spell something because when you are texting it doesn't matter if you spell right, or use proper grammar.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

When people constantly communicate by texting when you come face to face with somebody telling them something can be really hard. You might not think about it but everything is so much easier to talk about if you aren’t face to dace with that person. Specially when it comes to talking about a hard subject. When you text you don’t have to see there reactions which makes you feel a little better. But it shouldn’t be that way face to face conversations should be the way to tell anyone anything good or bad.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

Yes, texting does have an effect on one's ability to communicate. I believe that the simplified words and in formalities worsen your writing abilities. When writing, you might have the tendency to forget commas and other punctuation rules. Young kids growing up with cell phones, text all the time and I hardly ever text. I think that it will slower their learning when texting because their foundation is filled with all these short hand words.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

I believe that it can and does affect how one communicates in the real world. I can remember when I wrote a paper and spell checked it, and realized that I had said "ic" instead of "I see".
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

It actually does. I mean after I finished a text messge, I would usually write like I am texting for example instead of writing down I laughed, I would right down lol or roflmfao. People just get used to texting alot that they forget that they are supposed to be writing in complete sentences.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

i think texting does effect your spelling and ability to communicate, for example whenever im writing something i always think im texting so i use numbers in place of words such as "4real" or "2moro". I also think it effects my ability to communicate not in person but on the phone i rather not talk with anyone i rather text.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: No

Whether you know it or not it also affects whether you capitalize your "I"s or not.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

I do believe texting effects most person's abilities to comunicate other ways. For example, when I write an essay I sometimes abbreviate words or shorten them. I havent noticed anything in my speech but I do believe it can damage our writing skills and maybe even our spelling skills. Sometimes I spell the word "your" as "ur" or instead of writing "you" we use just the letter "u".
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

Yes, I think texting would some effect to one’s ability to communicate. For one, I don’t have texting on my plan so it’s practically not a problem for me. If I were to text, though, I would spell out what I mean so that I wouldn’t make myself look dumb.Like for example, if you’re writing an essay; you’d probably have those times when the grammar is totally off if you’re so used to texting a lot. Writing longer words shorter just to get the word or point across to you friends, etc. (This goes for the acronyms “lol” and so on.) Maybe even you have a slang way to spell the word “like” as “lyke” or whatnot. They do work for getting ideas across better to a friend, but once it’s a formal environment when your grammar would be watched, then it’d be best not to use that type of lingo.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

Although I would like to say no, since we all text, I do think that texting has an adverse effect on our ability to write and talk proper. For example, when we are writing in class we begin forgetting to capitalize, to use punctuation, how to spell, and so on. When we talk we start talking in slang instead of in proper English. The whole reason for this is because we let the phone do the work for us.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

Yes, texting can have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arenas. For example, sometimes when I am writing on paper I write ur, or o, or even a for hey. Although I always catch myself, erase it and move on its not really a big deal for me. But now when ever I hear people walking down the hall at school saying OMG, LOL, and LMAO I think they sound really dumb. Why would you want to talk like that anyways? Also it depends on the phone you have because my phone has a keyboard on it, so it helps me improve my typing skills when I text which to a chicken pecker like me is an A+.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

I think texting does have an effect on one's writing skills because, when you are texting, you write in shorthand instead of full sentences and after awhile, your brain thinks that is the way how to write. Does texting effect you orally, I don't think it does because, people speak differently and I don't think that writing has to deal with the way that you speak. It might, it might not. O.o
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

I agree with you, however Daniel, a lot of people here (think about the people at lunch). Also, nice example there with the eye thing.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

I think that it dose effect the ability to communicate. In texting you try to shorten the words and sometimes i have seen that when someone is writing an essay they don't notice it but some people tend to shorten some words and when they turn in their work they notice that they got a low grade because the way that they wrote or they had shorten some words. Also when speaking they don't use proper English they tend to use like a slang of English.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

I would say yes, it have an effect on alot of people because many of use want to write everything the short way, and then when it comes time for people to write a paper they don't want to take to time to write the whole word
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

Do you mean kind of how it messes with your grammer and makes you not really make sense?
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

I think that texting does effect you in some way. Like when you are doing an assignment you accidentally write as if you were sending a text message.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

I strongly agree that texting has a bad effect on most people's ability to communicate. My reason for this is because a few of my friends that I see almost everyday texts me using "wat" instead of the correct word "what". Mostly its not just texting its even in essays because people get so used to texting incorrectly they think its right. But at the same time I think its easier for the person to text by abbreviations than texting correctly.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

In my opinion I think it does have effect someone’s writing. A lot of them are used to write it in a shorter way. For example, the word “you”, instead they put “u”, or “why”-“y”. I know this because I do it as well. When ever I have to write an essay or type an essay, I sometimes write it like that. Is just that we are so used to it, we don’t realize it when we are writing.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

Yes I think texting have adverse effects on the ability to communicate in other arena. I say this because when you get so use to texting then it get time to write an essay in school you want to use all the slang words, or maybe just shorten the words like "texting" when you text you will put "txt". Its kind of hard when you talking to that person face to face then you start talking slang. Then when its time for you to go to an interview or something you will start talking unprofessional. but to you its like you sound professional but you really don't...
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

I think that texting does affect people in a bad way. But not to all people, I thinks its just the people who tend to shorten the words. So like when you’re going to write an essay or something, maybe you get like confused and misspelled words, it has happened to me in the past. And I don’t think it affects you when you’re talking, because it’s pronounce the same way, but there’s different ways of writing them.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

In some peoples cases it does affect them because they're used to cutting down the words or misspelling them from texting. But when they are speaking orally I don't think it has any effect because you can't really tell if they are misspelling the word when they are talking directly to you, but in forms of writing I think that it does have an effect.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

I dont believe that texting makes you dumber or any less of a communicator but I do believe it does get in the way of being social around the dinner table or when there are problems,for example the family is sitting down at the dinner table and there carying on a coversation and the get to mary sue and with her head down looking as if she is talking to her croch, and fingers texting away she says "hold on a sec", or doesnt even say anything at all because she is to busy texting, this happens all the time and well it can get in the way sometimes of carying on a conversation with the immidiate people around you. It just seems kind of stupid when the person your texting is sitting right next to you so in a way i guess it does kinda make you stupider because those kinds of people are ridiculous, I mean you could just whisper it into the persons ear instead of texting it.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

I believe texting does have a negative effect on my communicating skills. A lot of the time when I am writing a paper for school, I find myself writing "u" instead of "you". I am so accustomed to abbreviating words, I find it to be natural and automatically misspell. Not only that, with t9 a lot of word are spelled for me and just like spellchecking checks spelling for me, with out them I would be a horrible speller.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

I think that it does have an effect on the way people write and spell but not how they speak. A main reason I believe that texting effects how people write and spell is because once you do something on a regualr basis you get use to it. If someone is always texting and spell things like "r", "wuts up", and "im goin out" the person may know how to spell those words correctly but over time may forget or just not even pay attention and spell things wrong anyways which can also effect a persons grammar.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

I think that texting does have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arenas other than texting. A person gets so used to texting that they forget when they're not and go ahead and write as if they were. I'm a person who texts a lot, and I myself go through it sometimes.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

Texting does have an adverse effect. Depending on the way phones are devised you can only use one or 2 thumbs (as opposed to using a computer keyboard which requires use of both hands and is much faster), so a lot of people use shorthand abbreviation to make their messages shorter. The shorthand dumbs down people's minds with very simple words, like "lol" or "r" for are, or "luv" for love. Makes little room to learn higher level things.Also some people become so addicted to texting that people rely more on texting for communication rather than talking, for example the girl from California who sent 10,000+ messages in one month because she relied more texting than talking with her friends even when they were right next to her at parties.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: No

I believe that texting does have an effect on our ability to communicate. Just because one person is fine with writting an essay after texting, it doesn't mean that other people are okay with it. From what I have seen, texting dumbs us down so we can get a message across within a limit of characters or just because you are lazy.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

In my opinion i think it does effect you in someway on your spelling because your so used to using short words. Like when your writing on a paper for school and you accidentally misspell somthing and you don't go back and check it.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

Yes, I think texting have an effect on one's ability to communicate while writing a formal paper or in other arena. They get used to texting all the time,they don't know that they are actually writing them short phrases in their essay. Like for example, they would mixed up with the letter "U" instead of writing it's right form YOU. So, yeah this does effect them and they should stop texting while doing their work unless their really good at it.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

I think texting is a good way to communicate with one another because some people may be doing something and they rather text than talk on the phone. Some people love texting. There may be people that dont know how to text and they rather communicate by talking on the phone or go out and talk to them in person.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

I believe it's different for each individual. Most of my friends live for texting and when it comes time to communicate orally and to write formally, they start using their slang terms unconsciously. As for me, I don't have that problem. I text a lot, maybe not as much as others, but when it comes to communicating, I know how to communicate professionally and properly.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

I agree that texting has an adverse effect on one’s ability to communicate in other arenas. Whenever I am texting I never use complete sentences, or use punctuation, and that sometimes affects my ability to communicate. There are times when I'm writing, and I don’t use the right grammar and I have to go back and fix my mistakes.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

I think it does have an effect on your abilities of your writting and communication with others. Many people don't know how to spell some words and they just spell them the way they sound. I think if people keep using texting they going to forget how to spell and their grammar is going to be worse.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

Yes, I think that our generation is so used to texting that it effects how well we can spell and write. Also, when people say things like "omg", it makes them look uneducated.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

Texting does have adverse effects on the way we do other writing activities. For example, you have a writing assignment in an English class and the way you think and type on the keys of your phones would be completely different than the proper way that we should be typing out the entire word and the way it should be spelled and the meanings of the word and the quality of the human vocabulary has been reduce due to the amensed amount of texting power in the world.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

I belive it does because you get use to see the way the word is wrhitten down a lot of times that whenever you have to whrite something important you will probably get confused or will not know the correct spelling of the word, or simply forget and just whrite it the way you text
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

Even though you may think texting does not affect your writing, it does. Say you just finished texting all your friends and then you have an essay to do for English, well first of all you’re writing will not be so perfect nor will you use big words in your essay. I mean who uses innocuous in a text message, also when your texting theirs a lot of abbreviation and sometimes you forget what the root word was. Besides miss spelling words text message can also affect your emotions. For insistence, what if you receive a sad text message right before the English essay you will lose concentration and not do so well.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

I would say yes.  I am not an obsessive texter its not my thing, when i do i sometimes catch myself using "text lingo" out loud when i talk, like in situations when i laugh at something i once found myself replacing my laughter with the letters "lol" not cool. I Think that the people who text a little more than me would probably use more "text lingo" speaking. Thats not a good thing because they will get used to it and forget to correct themselves till it becomes routine.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

To the weak mind, the texting vocabulary becomes more profound. Meaning, there are some people who type like this, "i thnk dat ur kool", and they do this on their school assignments not even realizing it and not seeing a problem with it because they are so used to typing, or texting, in that manner. It's kind of sad. If you've ever seen the movie Idiocracy, I think it pertains some truth to the future of man kind. So yes, to some people the effects of texting can be adverse.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

I think texting has affected me negatively when it comes to trying to communicate orally or writing formally. Since texting is a quick way to message others, there are many forms for words. Therefore there is too much slang and ruins a persons vocabulary as well as their writing skills. Instead of writing "what" texters use "wat" and really diminishes their writing and as well as their pronunciation of words in a conversation. So texting does give you bad habits and can affect you greatly.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

Yes, I do believe that texting has an adverse effete on ones ability to communicate in other arena's, because there are times when I am typing an essay and instead of putting the word that's supposed to be there I'm putting in abbreviations and the words I would put in a text message. For instance "U" instead of "You" and "b" instead of "be", and those are just simple letters. So yes, it does have an effect in other arena's, but I believe that it could also improve ones typing, because if you can text then you should be able to type just as fast as your hands move on the keys on your phone.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

I think that texting does have effects on how you communicate vocally and in writing formally. For example, when people text they get used to breaking down the words and using smaller one's in replace. If you were to do that vocally to someone that is giving you an interview for a job, that probably wouldn’t look good. Also if you were to write an essay and you were really caught up on it then you probably would most likely make errors on it because of your texting. So it all comes down on how careful you are when speaking correctly and writing.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

Yes! No doubt texting has a great affect oustide of cellphone useage. Whether you are writing a report or speaking to a professor theres an urge to speek or write in texting format. Even if you control the urge and write a proper sentence, the urge alone is an effect. Think of it like muscle memory. Your muscles get used to performing one way, then suddenly you need to act differently. Your mind will be diverted from thinking about your essay to thinking about writing correctly. For some it may be easier, but any extreme texter cant say it doesnt affect their literacy outside of texting. That is if you dont text properly.
Debate: Does texting have adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arena
Side: yes

I agree that texting has adverse effects on one's ability to communicate in other arenas. Not so much verbally that comes natural to me but if we are speaking formally than yes it does affect it because people don't usually use proper English when they text. The area where I feel it most affects me is when I'm writing. I tend to spell words the way I would in a text message.
