Thanks to Time Magazine --
64% -- Percentage of U.S. teenagers who use informal text-message slang in their written schoolwork, including abbreviations like "LOL" (38%) and smiley-face emoticons (25%)
56% -- Percentage of teens surveyed who consider good writing to be "essential" later in life
Kind of scary, isn't it?
