I know whay you mean, unfortunately its a reflection of modern day society's impatience and sorry to say probably slackness and inability to trouble with much detail.
I go out of my way to promote lanquage as it should be said and written, this modern way of communicating is absolute garbage.
George Orwells book 1984, is recomended as it provides a pretty good insight into terms such as newspeak, which is what we are being directed to.
If you can't express something properly then you can't identify it to others.
Maybe George got the date wrong, 2004 would be a lot closer to his sad but brilliant novel. |
I completly disagree witht the statement "this modern way of communicating is absolute garbage." How do you think speech has evolved to even present day? If you took a look about how people spoke a few centuries ago it would be so much stricter then the way we speak now. Its the same thing now... the evolution goes on and there is nothing wrong with it. Dialects are constantly changing and I dont see anything wrong with it. Its just how the world works and besides whats so wrong with it? Cant you understand it? I can see if their grahmmar is off but thats a different issue, But new words and slang terms will always form and will eventually make up our language as common words. The same thing is present in other languages as well.
although I do agree with the "u,b,ttyl,lol,etc..." being annoying, but those are just abreviations.
