Is that a failing experiment? Or is it something to do with the cell phones and texting and txt speak? Do people who communicate in this abbreviated way undervalue proper spelling, grammar and punctuation because they haven't needed it and don't see the value in it? It is a worry. But OP are trying to do something about this now and have a committee looking at literacy and how we communicate and and can perhaps support students to get up to speed without having to actually offer extra literacy courses. Jean Patterson from the midwifery school is on this group and was talking to us about it on Thursday.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464510128406258242noreply@blogger.com
