In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “No, Thank You.”
If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?
Ban the SMS lingo / slang elsewhere. I know I am not asking for one, but a whole set, but its definitely worth it. It’s okay for personal chats, but sure not for general usage.

In SMS lingo defense, I used to type with my eyes up on the black board and just one hand and mobile on my lap. I think SMS lingo’s did help me a lot in sending much more messages. On a formal forum like WP I wouldn’t do it, but I wouldn’t mind it on an informal platform like messenger or Whatsapp.

Haha..true that!
It’s amusing and surprising how people cut down on alphabets, and sometimes change the spelling too, even when it doesn’t lead to reducing the alphabets.
How does ‘Dis’ ‘dat’ sound?
I guess that’s just a way to add a little swag to it 😉
Look stylish and in line with the contemporary , perhaps.
ROFL 😉

I was more confused when I saw an university allowed exams to be written in such language (long back)!
Sure, swag it is!
Thank you for the thoughts. That’s exactly and mostly how i feel as well! 🙂

It was back then when SMS slang was just born and was in boom. So, I don’t exactly remember which one(Not India). There was a debate on should students be allowed to write so. lol.

I was going to say, Bae, the “C” word and the “N” word, but I agree with you as well. I can’t stand reading that. I feel like people are going to forget how to write and speak properly in time.
