Don’t u think SMS language has totally adulterated English.
I’m not trying to police the entire English language. I certainly make use of abbreviations myself but I feel there has to be a certain standard for their usage.
We could start with: 1. The reader shouldn’t have to go through the text multiple times to understand the meaning that the SMS wants to convey
Besides don’t such abbreviations brutally murder the emotions behind them?
For example: I < 3 u/ ILY, instead of ‘I love you’
Doesn’t it totally kill the emotion of love behind it?
Or for that matter ‘gm’ instead of ‘good morning’
Doesn’t it sound more like a formality than a way of greeting someone in the morning?
Besides these two are various other abbreviations used which are sometimes not even completely comprehensive.
Now I understand why they say, ’good grammar is sexy!’
Cause its rare!
Hi dear, amazing fabrication of your blog…..I mean it’s just fabulous!! A neat introduction and a startling topic to start with:-) Congratulations and all the best for your upcoming blogs 🙂
thank you Rishil Shah.
Hey foram, I certainly do agree and appreciate the topic your trying to their light on!! Today, not only the language and writing is getting shorter but even the communication. There seems to be a wider gap day by day!!:( unfortunate but true!!
Yes Nikhar i absolutely agree.I personally feel,though technology has reduced the geographic distance between people.The side effect is that is has increased the distance in communication between people under the same roof.
True that!! I guess highlighting that issue and making it an idea of concern should be on priority!:):)
totally agree.But at the same time i feel it is a thing of self-realization.One can just highlight/spread awareness about the topic,but in the end its totally dependent on an individual to improve his action towards the situation.
So damn true
i loved this one!
thank you so much ekta
