Introduction
Social media has become an integral part of our daily lives, changing the way we communicate, interact, and express ourselves. With the rise of platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, the use of abbreviations and acronyms in online communication has become increasingly common. This phenomenon has also spilled over into formal writing, raising concerns about the impact of social media abbreviations on the quality of written English.
This project aims to explore the effect of social media abbreviations on formal English writing. By examining the prevalence of abbreviations in academic papers, business communications, and other formal contexts, we seek to understand how this trend is affecting the way we write and communicate in professional settings.
