I really think that proper English is important for people that use text language. Some day, we will all have forgotten what proper English should be. Think of the people that came before us, they all had to use proper English, so why shouldn't we? One day, for all those teenagers that consistently use text language, toi will go to sit your exam for school, no matter what subject it is, I bet toi will all accidently use one text language word. Also, toi could become a successful writer one day, and still be using text language, then a customer complains about the use of text language in your book! Aswelll as that, we all want our children and kids to use proper English. We dont want them to grow up and be a teacher using text language! And par the way, proper English includes grammar and punctuation, such as apostrophies, commas, full stops and things like that!

I rest my case...
