She txts !!
Tis b'cum 2 diffi 4 me 2 undrstd dis new 'Englis'. A new lang wher a 5 letter wrd b'cums a 4 letter word. A lang wher "be" b'cums "b" , "see" b'cums "c", "you" b'cums "u". A lang wher words mysteriously take da numeric form; "for" b'cums "4" , "ate" b'cums "8" ! Sumtimes al u find r jus acronyms; "ttyl" is actually "talk to you later", "gtg" is "Got to go" !
I find this new trend of typos extermely annoying. I understand that this fashion in writing has come into practice mainly because of the deluge in the SMS industry. The number of pages you type in for messaging accounts for the amount you pay. But, isnt that ages ago ? Thankfully, the older schemes were slashed and we ended up with free texting. Still, the practice prevails.
And the most disturbing fact about this is that the new English has become a craze with the young. Its there everywhere. E-mails, Internet Chat, Classroom writing, Blogs, every damn place which you would associate with writing. And when i do complain, they say "chillax, its just cool" . Dear, Its not cool to meddle with a language and make it sound stylish. Thats precisely what the Americans did and now, "Going to" is a lost phrase. "I'm gonna go to the school ma" Says a 5- yr old. Ha!
Fine, i'll rest with words like "gonna" and "wanna". They are after all new additions in the dictionary! But, whats with these typo's people? You can not get away with "sry" and "tc". I hate it when people text me "TC" or "SRY" . It just makes me understand that it is not meant the way it is actually supposed to. After all, the writer is being lazy even to get the message across correctly. I know i might sound crazy with all these radical thoughts, but what's the blog for anyway ?
Its not just these words that are whacky, often you hear people saying " Hows u? " !! Now, whats that ? They have started picking on the grammer too? Girls are being referred to as "DUDE" ! Its funny when a "Joey" or a "shaggy" says it, yeah! But, you peck it right away and use it, Neah!
I was revolting these thoughts for a long time but ultimately i've succumbed to the changes. As is said, Change is permanent. I still loathe the typo's and try not to ever use them in my writing and i obviously prefer that in turn, but alas!
Don't try to ape the language styles from the west guys. Its really not COOL !
