Abstract

Call me old-fashioned. I abhor the newer usages of the English language that the students and the staff at my college specialise in. I don’t think “u” is “you” and “because” is “coz” and “please” is “plez;” and no smiley face or “colon-hyphen-right parenthesis” brings me any cheer or amusement. I prefer “Regards” to “Rgds” and “PFA” for “please find attached” makes me mad. “Thnx?” No, thanks!...
