A new study confirms what many parents suspect. The more kids send and receive texts, the poorer their grammar skills become.

　　With “the culture of mobile communication—quick back and forth(来回), there are compromises on traditional, cultural writing”, said S. Shyam Sundar, professor of Pennsylvania State University, which conducted the study.

　　“Techspeak” , as Sundar and his research partner Drew P. Cingel call it, has become so prevalent(普遍的)among young users that it’s changing their foundation of basic grammar.

　　“Routine use of textual(原文的)adaptations by current and future generations of 13-to-17-year-olds may serve to create the impression that this is normal and accepted use of the language, ”they said in their published findings.

　　It seems teenagers are unable to “code

　　switch-shift” between standard grammar and the abbreviations(缩写)used in text messages, Sundar said. These abbreviations have become the real words for them now.

　　However, linguists(语言学家)aren’t particularly disturbed by the trend, Sundar added. “The linguists will tell you the language is very dynamic. ”

　　Still, students have exams to worry about. Here’s a sample(范例)of the questions, so you can test yourself to see how texting has affected your grammar:

　　·During the flood, we(dranked, drank, drunk, drunked)bottled water.
