My daughter is a teacher and she just recently told me about a trend that is developing in her school where students increasingly insert their phonetic spelling from texting in their written schoolwork. These are Jr. High School kids. Some actually spell cat kat even though it doesn’t shorten the spelling. The trend may have as much to do with phonics as with shortening the spelling. American English spelling may be evolving at this very moment.
Why isn’t phonics spelled foniks?
