“Hafta” “prolly” and last night I saw someone say “tots” (an abbreviation for totally apparently).. Awhile back I saw some girl on Facebook say “rio” when I asked her what the hell she was talking about she responded by saying “rio fool, you know I’m rio as fuck”... yeah stupider and stupider

@silkandlace I think the point of this post is that she's talking about academic settings. Personally I hate text-eze. It's ghetto af. It's not hard to type out whole words.
silkandlace · 46-50, M
@SW-User agreed
SW-User
@SW-User What college do you all attend that anyone would use "text-ese" in academic writing? 😂

Good on the professors for punishing it, but I didn't know anyone to even attempt to use it when I was in college not that long ago...

Because we have no rules anymore, whatever you like is what you do, no rules, no respect. The inmates are running the asylum.

If you read all the opinions around online you’d swear everyone is a professor of sorts. I think people’s general knowledge has definitely improved. Or at least their reading skills and quoting things they have read online. I’m sure there are some practical life skills that have been lost die to this change in our society. But I don’t think people getting stupider is a thing. Perhaps more hateful and selfish?

@Nebula The thing is, language evolves constantly and this that change with the times are generally the languages that survive. Not that I’m saying good grammar and spelling isn’t important, of course it is.
Nebula · 41-45, F
I mean, when you are trying to earn a college degree I think it is. Not chatting with your friends
SW-User
@Nebula Yes I feel you and understand exactly what you’re saying. You can use the slang of the time but it’s important to know how to write and spell properly regardless.

I saw that when I was in college, and they wondered why they kept getting low scores on exams. Maybe not much stupider, but people certainly aren't trying as hard.
SW-User
Maybe it’s your dyslexia
Nebula · 41-45, F
I don't have dyslexia.
Captainjackass · 31-35, M
I think it’s all caused by reality television. Making people stupider by the day... all so the aliens can destroy us easier.
Nebula · 41-45, F
Why didn't I think of that?
EnigmaticGeek · 61-69, M
Well, they're getting more ignorant by design. It's much easier to control the ignorant than the informed..
