What is?! Why would Oxford dictionary allow OMG and LOL in their dictionary? This news is tragic for many horrible reasons. I found out these news Wednesday in class by going on Edmodo, a website, and reading the article my teacher found. On Edmodo we respond to the article by typing what we thought of the topic and then hitting reply. I read all of the replies and 47 out of 50 hated the fact that they put LOL and OMG in the dictionary. Most said that it would be ridicules to write a report and put those abbreviation in it. For example say you had to write a book report and your first sentence was OMG I love this book! Do you think that you will get a good grade for that!?I personally think that if we put text lingo in the dictionary it will ruin the English language! Others think the same as well, and we are only in middle school! I would like to know why we can see that putting text lingo and slang words in the dictionary will ruin the English language forever and that grown adults can't. In the future if we use these abbreviations in everything we write or say, nothing will be professional anymore! Nothing will be taken seriously anymore! How would you feel if you were saying something important but, the person you were talking to didn't take you seriously? You would probably feel angry at the person, right? About a month ago I was doing this project called the Apprentice ( if you read a past post you would know what it is) in English class. I know that if my group used abbreviations when we spoke like if we said something funny and right after we said LOL, we would lose no question about it.
That is my opinion on the topic and I would like to hear yours. Thank you for reading my post but, before you go here is a link to a website that tells you about the topic http://tweentribune.com/content/omg-lol-makes-it-oed
Hope you liked my post! :)
