Re: y johnny cant read

[(Anonymous)]

I have taught English for a very long time, and I have seen educators using the latest 'speak' for years. When a new shorthand becomes acceptable, many educators will allow students to use it in essays, emails, etc. I'm fully aware that language is malleable, but I do think that promoting a shorthand that isn't professional is dangerous. As someone else here mentioned, "If you can use netspeak, why can't I?", and that becomes a valid question. The reason that I don't allow students to use netspeak in their academic work is to prepare them for other courses in college and in professional settings. Having said that, I think language is changing so quickly that writing in everyday life will be vastly different in the next 10-20 years.

You don't need a slippery slope. Just the house style guide and a red pen. It's no more a valid question now than it was in the 1990s when everyone and their uncle was adopting PowerPoint. Now *that* was a crime against the English language.
