It's no news anymore that almost ALL teens and youths have adapted to shorthand for typing with mobile phones. To make matters worse, despite the invention of corrections on most smarts phones, we still prefer to use shorthand.

The annoying part of it is that, most of these shorthands have the same number of letters or even longer letters as the original words. Some use funky spellings instead.

Another thing I've noticed is that most of our youths and teens don't know when to use some certain words instead of the right ones cos they both sound alike. Example of these are:

''HAVE seen the books'' instead of '' I'VE seen the books''
''he has GIVING me the books'' instead of ''he has GIVEN me the books''
''BEEN a guy diesn't mean i can't have female close friends'' instead of ''BEING a guy diesn't mean i can't have female close friends''
''AM the owner of the car'' instead of ''I'M the owner of the car''
''ITS not mine'' instead of ''IT'S not mine''

The list is quite much

Some don't even know that no matter where the letter comes in a sentence, 'I' is ALWAYS in caps!!

To make matters worse, they don't even know they're wrong!

Most of our youths and teens can't even write with a laptop that doesn't have auto punctuation or correction. It's really that bad!

I'm the best in English language but I'm certain that I'm not bad either.

Yes English is not our mother tongue, buh tell me who'll accept a pidgin-written application letter?

It's never too late to turn a new leaf.

give yourself this task today: Type ALL your words in full and tell me how easy it was or how difficult. By doing this, you'll know how much in tune you still are with your spellins and punctuations.

I know I made some errors even while writing this cos I'm also prone to errors, but what's most important is the message.




NOTE : Little things count!!!


Oga boss Lalasticlala, watin you think?

ekems2017:
This is one of the things that is making youths to fail their written interviews and exams. It's so deep into them that they write or unconsciously. To do away with this pls kindly learn how to write the complete words no matter how many hours it takes.

It's really so terrible these days. So much so that even the so called graduates and some parents are making it look like some new versions of an application that everyone must update to. I have complained to alot of my friends and contacts to stop it. Most of them would argue and come up with different untenable reasons why they use it but then I have taken a very firm position over this very matter. Each time I read lines with such abbreviations in it ..I would simply unreservedly see writer as a lazy, fake, irresponsible, unresourceful , careless and classically unintelligent person who I would not have a serious business with. Some things we do give a description of who we are.

EduColombo:
The 'am' instead of *I'm or I am* is really getting out of hand..
Some don't even know when to put full stop or comma.
Many also don't proof read their sentences before sending a message.
A friend of mine just can't understand the fact that I type my sentences in full.
I believe laziness and indiscipline cause these..

Fairgodwin:

This one too is one them, 'it's' not 'its'
They both represent different things please.
