Here are some "reasons" or examples of damage to grammar from social media:
"Does social media hurts grammar?"....subject/verb agreement, media is plural, so try "Do social media hurt grammar?" The common practice of dropping vowels in texting that was originally to cut costs/billing has continued and blossomed...4 shur. So much for spelling and word choice, tone, voice...the same goes for all the contractions and acronyms...stfu, yolo, lol. Are you sure these are what are meant when they are used? My sincere apologies for stfu as an example...I have absolutely no right to use such language toward your question. The assumed anonymity of keyboarding has led many to coarsen their published thoughts and not think them through very well. People don't get the right tone and perceive many messages wrong because communication on social media is to much like talking, but without the mediation of seeing the talker, their gestures, expression, hearing the tone etc. that we know is so much of the message. Careful word choice is needed, but seldom provided in those circumstances, and much drama and strife has resulted. |
