Grammar in Chatrooms

Thu, 27 Sep 2007 11:35:16 PST

People usually do not use proper grammar and spelling in chat rooms. They say that its faster for them to type and its not a waste of time. That kind of grammar and spelling from chat rooms can turn into school work. When they continue the grammar and spelling they will get use to it and eventually forget how the proper grammar and spelling was done.

In the example the first person says “Wat r u doing?”, and the proper way of saying it would be “ What are you doing?”. The second person says “just chillin, nm?” and the proper way of saying that would be I am just chilling and doing nothing much. Soon people would forget to do the proper way and instead would do the lazy way!
