R U TLKing in Text 2 Much at WRK?

What do u thk of this lede? Should u write this way in yr job? Do u thk it matters?

Teens write a lot, but they do not think of their emails, instant and text messages as writing. This disconnect matters because teens believe good writing is an essential skill for success and that more writing instruction at school would help them.
