Obligatory I didn't read the article.
It's obviously T9 Word's fault. All these kids out here texting with T9 word, can't expect anyone to be spelling when they can T9 their way through life.
While I dont doubt that texting has had something to do with it, there was a shift from phonics based reading to "balanced literacy" about 30 years ago. The approach has obviously failed in a pretty horrible way.
