Should Internet Slang Be Prohibited?

At present, Internet slang, such as “BH”, “MS” has become popular among the teenagers, even in their homework or essays.

There are different opinions on Internet Slang. Some students think Internet slang is vivid, fashionable and full of humor and intelligence. Besides, it makes chatting on the Internet quicker.

However, some other students think Internet Slang lacks depth of thought and is too simple. Besides, it is hard to understand and not accepted by most people. The words sometimes might make people confused, even resulting in misunderstanding.

Every coin has two sides. In my opinion, living in the Information Age, if we don’t know the Internet Slang, we seem to fall behind. It will be OK as long as their terms are used correctly in proper situation.

Text2 M: I really like living here in this flat, because it’s so near to central town.

W: That’s true. But it gets really noisy at night.

Text 6 W: Sorry about the wait. I’m Dr Green. M: How do you do?

W: Hi, I see that you are experiencing some back pain.

M: Yes, I am. My doctor’s away on vacation. He always gives me this to reduce my pain, but I’ve run out of my pills. I wonder if you might be able to give me some.

W: You really should have a thorough check up. But you are the most polite patient I’ve seen all week, so I’ll break the rule for you.

Text9 M: Oh, I hope Alexander likes this. It’s a bit of risk serving fish and shrimps to a guest who comes to visit us for the first time. Maybe I should also prepare a steak.

W: Yeah, it’s not a bad idea. Alexander is the new director of my department and I don’t know much about his preference. He came from another department of the company early this year.

M: I’ve never met him before, but I’ve heard a lot about him from you in the past few days. It seems that he’s a very good boss with rich business experience.

W: Absolutely. He is the one who comes to save the department.

M: Really? Why do you say so?

W: Well, you know, last year when economy was not good, our profit was far from satisfying. The company even thought about closing down this department.

M: So what about the situation this year?

W: Alexander introduced the brand new system for sales management and it’s quite effective and efficient. The profit has even doubled in the last month.

M: Wow, that’s fantastic. I cannot wait to meet him for a dinner.
