    Here is a link to the actual study. (I actually find this fascinating in comparison to your actual topic) Epic facial hair is timeless.

    http://journals.plos.org/plosone/art...0149885#sec007

    My one issue with the study is that they start by talking about how social media has changed the way we communicate, speak, type/write etc.

    But then in the study they use an e-mail, an inquiry into the sale of a home (a significant purchase/transaction) in other words... business. Most people tend to view e-mail as pretty formal. There is plenty of literature available on effective e-mail writing, professional e-mail writing, the importance of a well crafted e-mail, etc.

    I think the study would have been far more effective/poignant if it either used both e-mail and a facebook post, or if it instead simply focused solely on the facebook post.

    I know plenty of hardcore grammar nazis that look past "mistakes" in a text or twitter post, the point of those is that they are shorthand.

    Oh and btw apple... I NEVER mean "ducking".
