Quote:
Jack Bovill, the society’s president, wrote in an e-mail message: “Our present aim is to raise awareness of the problems caused by the irregularity of English spelling. We DO NOT support solutions.”
Opinion:
I agree with this quote because people keep on saying they are trying to make people aware of the irregularity English spelling teenagers use every single day. Yeah you can make people aware of the texting problem but there is no solution because everyone has been texting like this for a long time and I think that is what Jack is trying to say. I know that the irregularity of English spelling in text messaging is bad but once everyone starts doing it, it is hard to go back to regular English spelling.

This is an article about irregularity of English spelling in texting. They are bascially saying the same thing as Jack Bovill, but they are actually trying to find solutions and going towards fixing the problem.
