horsewell Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 All those programs allow the use of full language and you don't pay extra to use correct language (full and verbose)... obviously it's the people, not the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimamey Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Not so bad.. Could have blamed the inventor of the telephone instead Sent from my LG-P970 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Maybe they would have if they knew who it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I knew this would happen Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Why do they worry? As mentioned already, in every line/facebook/sms message around the world slang and shortcuts are used, that´s kinda normal! And why do people love to take the shortcuts? Because it´s a pain in the ass to type everything correctly and in full lenght with this damn smartphone.....it has nothing to do with the people becoming more stupid or lazy, it´s just more convenient. And especially the Thais have one more reason to use slang and "wrong" Thai. Even the Thai people know and admit theirself that their language is complicated and annoying sometimes, specially when you use a keyboard. It´s not half as convenient and fast as english. I remember such headlines from Germany too, came up every year on slow news days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluespunk Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Line,whatsapp , Facebook and others, are the sum of most Thai people life centers around now days, the hell with real knowledge, real learning, world's events, Nope, it's all about gossip, frivolous, mindless information exchange, I feel sorry for this generation's dependency on these gadgets for every aspect of their life... What makes me wonder: why nobody starts a campaign to diss these shit things like Facebook etc. I could imagine, that a movement to show, how un-cool this virtual world versus the real world is could gather momentum around the world. People are wasting time of their life in order to make the Suckerbugs et al richer than ever... If Devo couldn't do it, I doubt it can be done http://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PL327BA5A7F8815C0A&v=K0VKOCAZ6Sc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SABloke Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Just about every language constantly evolves and it inevitable that a complex language such as Thai will be dumbed down to cope with lightweight social media applications. It's not complex at all-most older languages are very simple, hard to pronounce for some yes, but not complex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
