Texting research: dilemma for grammar marms

Fascinating and ironic: This research into the way that frequent users of textisms compare with others in accepting nealogisms. The article reporting the research is here:
Texting affects ability to interpret words
The findings, I think, may present a dilemma for those who enjoy a good moan about how English language is going to the dogs -see if you can see why:

... reading traditional print media exposes people to variety and creativity in language that is not found in the colloquial peer-to-peer text messaging used among youth or 'generation text'. She says reading encourages flexibility in language use and tolerance of different words. It helps readers to develop skills that allow them to generate interpretable readings of new or unusual words. "In contrast, texting is associated with rigid linguistic constraints which caused students to reject many of the words in the study,"

Yes, I' sure you see it: At first it seems to offer comfort that texting really might have an adverse affect on your English usage. But, oh dear, it's in the ability to appreciate and respond to new words and usages -the very kind of thing that the grammar marms are allso keen to discourage and tut at. Who'd have thought it grammar marms and texters sharing the same linguistic vice! Hope they enjoy the company ;)
