At last he talked about the texting on social media that means texting on twitter on whatsapp and in Facebook is good for English language because it express the thoughts of people in front of other in limited characters. In this way we also learn the technical or social media English language.  

                           In this video David crystal says about Texting is 'Good' for English language. Texting is a kind of language, and it is never bad to improve language through texting. But peoples are holding varies myths regarding texting and consider it bad the reasons like Texting is done by kifs only. Text messages with abbreviation entirely abbreviate these messages. Kids don't know how to spell it etc. These all reasons are just reflecting the narrow mindedness of the people. These are not facts. It is not only kids, but mostly things are done by adults. More than half generation are using mobile and everyone is doing messaging. Literacy is important, and it needs more and more practice which technology provides. The more we text the better our literary skill improved.
