Use only the standard vocabulary while writing and publishing on the Internet
Dear Professionals,
Use only a standard vocabulary while writing and publishing on the Internet.
The way we have become habituated with short words, or acronyms, we are using them our communications very frequently. Up to internet chatting, this sounds good but again ambiguity remains there too.
I have seen/found people using such words in their blogs, comments, forums etc. Which is nothing but seems they are testing the knowledge(of short words) of the person who is reading.
Don’t, or avoid using the SMS vocabularies(yw, ur, u, i, ty, w, s, tm, hm, ppl, m8, gr8t, cu, b4, etc.) while writing a piece of note or a standard column. The reason is not that I don’t like to read or somebody can’t read properly. Yes, these could be few reasons but the sole reason is that in the web-indexing techniques, these short terms are considered as garbage(web technology don’t index them) and don’t appear in the list of meaningful words. Even, we humans don’t use them in the searching.
In other words, nither human(properly) nor machine can understand your words(short words) or thought content(puzzled words). Then, why to use such words or mislead the meaning.
Use, a proper vocabulary while writing, teaching, and sharing the knowledge.
Thank you.
