It's a "texting thing. They need to learn to code-switch.
Exactly, I think we're watching tech shifts happening...it's all the more important to stress on these things!
I have my high schoolers editing social media posts for GUM errors and then writing their own. They just don’t pay attention to detail and need to practice that skill.
Just got to put even more time and attention into it. Every generation has its own version of shortening language. I remember when text speak acronyms first popped up in assignments lol, brb, ttyl.

Are they using social media often? Some kids I've been teaching have this weird habit as well because of immersing themselves in social media where the grammar and syntax is all wrong because they're also friends with others their age
It is the same here in Missouri and it continues to get worse each year.
I blame social media for this. It's so convenient to just put out words on the internet without observing proper grammar or punctuation marks.
