How does online social networking enhance a person's effective writing skills?

Online social networking often hurts writing skills. I say this because people often shorten their words to say time and this isn't a good habit.

How does online social networking enhance a person's effective writing skills?
From everything I have seen, it only harms effective writing skills and communication skills in general. Social networking encourages people to use incorrect spelling and no grammar in order to make messages short. These are both detrimental to effective writing skills. Texting is also detrimental to effective communication skills since it divorces the parties involved from the most effective clues to effective communicaton, ie; body language, intonation and facial clues.
Reply:I would have to say that I think it does. While it's now socially acceptable to use abbreviated language to text or chat on line, there are many times when that just can't happen. Taking on line classes enhances effective writing skills as you certainly can not post an ill written document to express your thoughts.
