Internet Slang 

    In our generation today,many people has been using the Internet like what I said in my first blog.You're probably included to the people who use the Internet.Yes,you because you're reading this blog right now.We all know that there's a lot of things,issues,trends that are happening in the Internet these days.If you use Social Medias you might probably know some stuff about internet slang.A lot of people use internet slang for shortcut or because it is very popular or simply because we're too lazy to type the whole word.Well,I use internet slang for shortcut and it helps me in a specific situation like when I'm in a rush and I need to message someone. 

These Are the Examples of Internet Slang:

    Internet slang is used by the people in the Internet especially the teenagers.Internet slang is usually an abbreviation.Many people usually use these internet slang in Social Medias but these are also used in texting or instant messaging. According to the site www.wikipedia.com, internet slang was originated in the early days of the Internet with some terms predating the Internet. Since 1979, users of communications networks like Usenet created their own shorthand.The purpose of these Internet slang is to ease the conversation.Internet slang doesn't usually use punctuation,grammar and capitalization which makes it informal.It also doesn't usually use vowels such as "ttyl" which means talk to you later.Though these are very helpful and a huge advantage to internet users, some people are still having some difficulties in understanding it including the internet newbies. Internet slang shouldn't be used in a formal letters,articles,blogs and more because like what I said not all people understand Internet slang and these words are only slang which is a type of language that consists of words or sentences that is informal.Internet slang discourages rather than encourage mutual understanding.

These disadvantages reminds us to not overuse Internet Slang because it is very informal and it will lead to misunderstanding.
