Re: should we ban MSN?

I personally don't use any of those shortcuts or abbreviations when I'm on MSN or anything similar. Its the way I keep my English from degrading.

They can never ban MSN or any other chat program. Its used by businesses more than today than ever. It beats email any day and gives you all the benefits of email and more.

Like someone previously said, they can ban it from schools and parents can remove it from computers. But it would be impossible to remove it permanently. It is apart of what the internet is today.

Re: should we ban MSN?

Quite frankly, MSN isn't that addicting, I spend more time on forums, commenting on art and chatting in, gosh darn-it, Actual chat rooms.

I have over 200 people on my list that I've accumulated over the years (I've had this MSN account since messenger launched), and I keep in regular contact with about 30 of them.

This may sound mean, but If you spend more time chatting with your Real-Life-Fleash-and-blood-friends-that-you-actually-meet-in-real-life on MSN, then you've got a serious problem. Humans are social creatures, and digital communication, while acceptable in moderate doses, too much is not a healthy form of communication.

Re: should we ban MSN?

In the paper a few weeks back, there was a blurb about how some schools in New Zealand (I think) were considering just letting students use the abbreviations on actual tests and reports, since they were so used to doing it online and in text messages. They would not encourage students to use "textspeak", but wouldn't take points off the work if they did.

This seems like a great idea; creating an entire generation of kids who are either too stupid or too lazy to actually write the words "you are" instead of "u r". And what happens to these kids when they have to go out into the real world and interact with people who do have basic literacy skills? MSN isn't the problem; the problem is the school administration who coddle students, parents who refuse to admit that their kids are just plain dumb, and the students themselves, who should have a little more pride in their work.

Re: should we ban MSN?

Well only people who lack the sence of grammer and can't be botherd to use proper grammer, I know people who use good grammer on msn, and I also know a MSNoholic and she is very clever in her school work, so..yeah we should not ban msn.

Re: should we ban MSN?

Regardless of where the habit was picked up, anyone with two brain cells to rub together should know the difference between acadamia and entertainment. It isn't MSN's fault that students don't feel the need to separate the two. MSN is just a vehicle for communication; if people stay up all night chatting and not bothering to study or learn acceptable methods of writing, that's their problem, not MSN's.

Re: should we ban MSN?

I think really they shouldn't ban MSN..but just get the child to practise writing proper grammar for a while. I do it. I try not to post use abbreviations but on forums especially, i try to use proper grammar as much as I can.

But to blame MSN isn't really at fault..really i think its texting that did it so people could write as much as possible in a text but shortening the words...its not MSN's fault.

Well, at the very least you could try not using the short forms at all, even when in chat forums. This would begin to break the habit, and would probably improve your typing skills as well.
