Social Networks and Language Usage

Social networks and technology are connecting people like never before. Are we communicating less though as our language suffers through misspellings, being shortened, and too many acronyms? This infographic analyzes language usage across Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ and tries to find the common denominator such as geographic location, gender,  and other factors. Twitter is the biggest culprit of misspellings but the other factors seem to land in a tie.

Does spelling and grammar matter? Is it time for English to evolve with technology?
