Angel Of Love:

$tyli$h Executive:
I don't think we should make spelling mistakes in our writing, whether it be here or a formal business letter.
Angel Of Love:
k so now you guys got what a jargon means...and ya i agree to u stylish but now most of all people keep on usin such words only so why not always use them...look if you use jargons they will take less space then whole words and ion this way we can save papers right...??
Alpha:
Excuse me, we do not call these jargons.
It's just a more contracted form of English than the one we know already.
Can not > can't
Do not > don't
This can't, don't, 't form itself is not accepted in formal language.
Zis language hs neva bin a part of English. It's just a 'convenient' (really ::)?) way of typing new generations have unfortunately adopted.
Don't even think of writing that in a formal piece.
Everybody does not use the same contracted form, and it has been remarked to vary from country to country, while English is supposed to be a universal language.
If I am so irritated and annoyed when people write (leave whatever) however they wish to, imagine how the examiner would be.
We once had a case in Mauritius, where a student was so addicted to 'texting' that he wrote the whole essay in text form. It was a news... not very well agreed to... by the examiners. Actually, it was catastrophic.

Yes, We can save a very small amount of papers. But it'll not be worth the sacrifice! ::)
