So does the use of a spell checker.

Probably more than text messaging.

People often mistake "of" for the world "have" when speaking vs. writing it. It sounds correct when you utter it out loud; when it is written, however, it's not quite so.

Or mistake the word "world" for the word "word".

I'm sure the invention of language probably changed the way early man communicated, which hurt signing skills.

Then writing hurt speaking skills.

Now it's digital communications that is changing the rules.

Deal with it. Grammar, like everything else is constantly evolving. An english professor with a blackberry might be at a disadvantage today.
