Why can't some people in here speak English?!?

I believe a lot of it is because of text messaging, IMs, chat rooms and the like.

People have been conversing online with the world for many years and it has become an acceptable format.

In chat rooms, in order to get your sentence out fast enough in response to another, you have to speed type and hit send immediately. Otherwise, your conversation gets lost in the midst of several other conversations taking place. Text messaging is hard with a little screen and you just want to get the words out in as few letters as possible.

I tend to do this myself however, it doesn't mean I type that way in a formal situation. Online interaction has become what many of us have come to call , "Typonese".

I agree people should learn to be more formal when the circumstances call for it such as this.

Australia can have signed a UN treaty obligating the nation to take a few refugees or asylum seekers. Maybe politicians are looking to win the votes of ethnic businesses by way of permitting them to into the nation. Maybe they're on your nation illegally. You are being paid by way of the hour, correct? So in case your retail retailer isn't busy, take time and provide an explanation for that charges are in no way negotiated. That creates no monetary loss for you. Or, if their clutch of our language is deficient, simply say "I'm sorry, I do not realize you" after which deliver no extra reaction. Immigrants must be influenced to talk their international languages to their possess kids, so the ones youngsters will likely be multilingual (an excessively useful talent). But the federal government must make English fluency a demand for any residency.

Bilingual education for minorities would help. If the children could learn English as a second language but take their core studies in their own language, their grades would probably be better and they would be able to learn and improve their English at the same time. Free English classes and a sterner set of language requirements for refugees and immigrants are also needed. This could be a preference for arriving immigrants and could be a requirement of citizenship if they come over without speaking English. English should be the priority over French and Spanish, though I am not against French or Spanish immersion. When they pass the amnesty for illegal immigrants in the States, they should make certain the newly legal residents have access to English classes.

I agree. Although some people do it because it's faster and quicker to type and they don't want to spell out every word exactly as it is. Like ttyl stands for talk to you later but people don't want to type it all out. Get it? I know sometime it's really annoying but you have to understand that it's so much easier to type it in " Improper English".

This is yahoo answers, yahoo answers is all over the world, any body can ask questions, anybody can answer a question.

If you don't understand the question because you can't read English, how are you going to spell the werds you are trying to use correctly.

Some people don't even what a good answer is come on, we just have to put wid it frend.

some people just are not taught the correct grammar and others are just lazy.

It gets on my nerves also.

I cannot stand it , and it is so difficult to read when they do the whole plzz and l8r thing , you go ahead and enjoy your rant.

Calm down, you'll break your fingers pounding on the keyboard like that!

It's because of a lack of education. People think they are gangsters or something. It is very difficult to try to figure out what they are saying.

I agree, even thought I sometimes tend to do the same.

It drives me up the wall too!
