My summr hols wr a CWOT. B4, we usd 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro FTF. ILNY: its gr8.
Can you understand this sentence? If you can’t, don’t feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in Scotland who received this as homework from one of her students. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on the Internet, instant messages, and text messages on mobile phones. Netspeak is a collection of abbreviations, acronyms, and symbols. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. What is the "translation" of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother face to face. I love New York: it’s great.
Language purists, schoolteachers, and parents everywhere say this new form of writing, with its disregard for proper spelling, punctuation, and grammar, threatens the English language. It is blamed for a perceived increase in spelling and grammatical errors in students’ writing in school work. School boards, teachers, and parent groups call for zero tolerance of Netspeak, for fear that the writing of the new generation might become completely incomprehensible, and the language itself could become corrupted.
Everyone should just relax, say linguists and language scholars. While there certainly is a need to ensure students learn the standard rules of writing, the phenomenon of Netspeak and writing on the Internet, they claim, is actually doing more good than harm.
David Crystal, a language historian at the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and the Internet are developing new forms of creative language use that provide a strong motivation for literacy. He points out that through personal home pages and blogs, the almost lost art of diary keeping has been revived, which encourages young people to write more than ever before, and improve writing.
From a linguist’s point of view, languages do not and cannot become "corrupted" : they simply develop to meet the needs of each new generation.
Netspeak enthusiasts do acknowledge the importance of teaching young people how to speak and write proper English. " Children have to be taught their language and learn standard writing skills," Cynthia McVey, psychology lecturer at Glasgow Caledonian University, says. "I can understand the frustration of teachers and I think it’s important that they get across to their students that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is vital for their career or future study. "
