By textesing Internet users can save time and write more carefully. In this process it is allowed 
to have grammar mistakes as well as lexical ones. A few ages ago the utilization of slangs is only 
permitted in oral speech but nowadays in the letters which are written friendly using these phrases are 
considered norm. Despite the fact that this genre is full of errors, users choose more and more.
Undoubtedly increase of texting in any style is damaging the quality of the Standard English, 
however we cannot deny the advantages of Internet English. In future the condition may change 
positively.
