Question: could internet lingo be changing the standards in academic writing?
Read on plz :)
So, the article states that academic writing seems to be threatened by internet lingo. And teachers are worried folks. No way.
Amongst all the concern, this can be rather enlightening. Now there is no argument here. I'm sure that teens who use the Internet more frequently are certainly more inclined to use emoticons, "LOL", etc. in their academic papers. But I don't see anything wrong with it.
The Internet is a tool that has given freedom to lots of peoples lives, whether this be in meeting people, learning new things, or just writing. For me, writing online has set some kind of freedom. The nice thing about it is that there are not set rules, hence why people enjoy the Internet so much. So, i say the heck with it. Let's make sure our kids know proper English, but not slaughter them for having a little 'free' fun! LOL!!!!!
