Text-messaging is a ubiqitous form of communication, especially among young perople. However, media panic about the potential effects of "textese"- style spelling on literacy skills has not been borne out of research. Hosted by the Royal Society of Tasmania, Dr Nenagh Kemp from the School of Psychology at UTAS discusses the nature of "textese", its links with literacy, and its future in communication.
