Straight to the point wouldn't you say Mav? I think you've got your answers .
A teacher I know has told me the writing skills of the kids in her grade nine classes are extremely affected by compu-speak and that it is getting worse. What makes matters worse is that manufacturers of computer games and products use this compu-speak on their packaging and advertisers splash it all over billboards and ads. Products aimed at children want to look “cool” so they adopt the compu-speak to attract the clientele. If a child is constantly exposed to an approved “grammatically incorrect” word on a constant basis, how is he supposed to know it is incorrect?
