Do Twitter people spell better?

We carefully select the most succinct words, while grammar is necessarily slaughtered to fit within the 120 character limit.

^-- 120 characters or less.

My point being that we sometimes need to drop proper grammar because punctuation and complete sentences will consume too many characters, while a larger vocabulary is extremely important in getting your point across in as few characters as possible. All of that practice selecting the right word would easily translate to better spelling (and probably better diction) in our writings outside of Twitter.

Spell check built into newer browsers- hence Twitterers spell better than avg. (But 140 characters cuts grammar to fit a tweet).

The study still limited the number of words. By cutting grammatical corners, they were able to squeeze more content into the limited space.

Why? Because we want to try to fit our sentence inside the 140-character limit so we take out some conjunctions and linking verbs. but as far the speeling is concern, I think we feel like it's necessary otherwise the message won't be sent across.
