survey (Forms 9-11)

into account the results of the survey, we can come to such a conclusion: students of senior forms of our school use different forms of abbreviations of SMS – language, but most of them (70%) think that it doesn’t affect their literacy greatly.

Our school survey also confirmed this fact, so we can say with certainty that SMS – language does not deteriorate any language, thus it has the right for existence.
