UK schools spend £3,000 on text-speak posters in schools. Like "f NEfin maks u feel (:+( or uncomfortable on9 tel a responsible XXX str8 awy. Don't B fraid Ull gt N2 strife"

link

Entitled ‘Top Tips for Pupils: Safe surfing at home and at school’, the posters are on display in corridors and classrooms of more than 2,000 secondary schools in London.

One of the nine tips on the poster, which uses the letters XXX to denote an adult, says: ‘nvr agree 2 mEt an on9 pal IRL w/o chekin W a responsible XXX.’


That means: ‘Never agree to meet an online friend in real life without checking with a responsible adult.’

Another reads: ‘u av d ryt 2 feel safe ll d tym, includN wen UzN ICT or yr mob ph.’


That translates as: ‘You have the right to feel safe all the time, including when using information communications technology or your mobile phone.’

Once again the Daily Mail is getting a bit weird

basically even teenagers don't know half of it! probably a 45year old bloke who thought he was "in touch with the younger generation" wrote it up and all his work peers thought he was fantastic. without even checking if younger people actually knew what he was getting at... one of the things that really annoys. people who think they understand but they don't! too much extreme stereotyping going on out there!

I don't have a mobile, never have had one. And I'm 16. If cawa didn't have the translations, that would make no sense to me. How the hell are we meant to know XXX means an adult? If that was in my school I'd think the government were advertising some kind of adult entertainment ffs!

By the way, unless I'm mistaken it says 'if anything makes you feel (:' tell an adult. Is that just a typo or are you actually meant to inform a teacher everytime you smile?

Seriously!
This is getting out of hand.
I'm studying English Literature, and this really makes me feel sad
I've had to write papers on the decline of the English language, and now the government themselves are trying to encourage us to use text speak (which hardly anyone understands anyways!)?
I agree with Doffen!
WE DEMAND PROPER ENGLISH!

I concur that statement, whoever thinks that's a good ploy to get youngsters on their side is horribly mistaken..
