IS SMS KILLING THE LANGUAGE?

IS SMS KILLING THE LANGUAGE?

1)What did Dr K.K. Seet think of students using the SMS language in their schoolwork and teacher-pupil relationship?
~Dr K.K. Seet have hauled students up for their lack of etiquette.he also believes there should be a certain degree of social decorum and such SMS language takes the student-teacher relationship to level of casualness which he does not like.

2)What feedback did Mrs Adrienne Pereira give on SMS language being shown over national TV?
~She complained that such words "noe'(know),"dun"(don't),"enuf"(enough)and "4"(for) had been repeatedly telecated in the SMS bar during weekly episodes of American Idol on Channel 5.She said that this was a "signal that using a message form of the English language is tolerated and accepted"she said.She added that such messages should not be broadcast on natoinal TV as an English-language station should promote good English.
3)Why do you think Nicholas's spelt "rocks" as "rawks"?
~He spelt that because it was partly out of habit,but also because he feels the creative spelling makes the words more aesthetically pleasing.
4)how did Nicholas's mother react to her son's using SMS language?
~She said that it was the thing for teenagers who are used to these short forms.also she said that when teenagers start writting,they know they have to use good English."

In my point of view, i think using good English is form of good sign as English is a important language that every singaporean are encourage to be learnt.however,students should have a good form of learning and development in their first language which is English by using good english and speak good Englsh.
