 Computer shorthand
Excuse me - I really appreciate this site - BUT - these new computer shortcuts (err) shorthand is really starting to bug me.
My students use it in their emails to me and I mark their work down for it.
TDOL - shouldn't this site promote English and discourage these new shortcuts to proper English?
I fear that this new computer slang will have the same effect on English that calculators have had on math learning. Take away the calculator and a math student is unable to compute simple multiplication and division.
Will the new computer slang distract from learning proper English?
This is definately not a rant nor a troll. As a teacher I am concerned! |
