Tchers morn deth of litrcy in txt generation

An English essay written by a British teenager in text messaging short-hand has reignited concern among teachers that literacy standards are under threat.

The 13-year-old's essay began: "My smmr hols wr CWOT. B4, we used 2go2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & thr 3 :- kids FTF. ILNY, it's a gr8 plc."

In translation: "My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York. It's a great place."

Judith Gillespie, of the Scottish Parent Teacher Council, said a decline in grammar and written English was partly linked to the text-messaging craze.

"Pupils think orally and write phonetically."
