The Use of Slang in YouTube Comments Under Ceremonial Speech Videos.

11. If you don't use any of them, please provide your reason(s), or provide information about what communication etiquette rules you are following:

  1. don't like
  2. etiquette
  3. i don’t know much of it.
  4. you just have to know where you shouldn't use any of the contractions.
  5. but i never use these things in formal conversation or speaking.
  6. i just deliver information and i usually type fast, so i don’t have an issue, i guess.
  7. i simply don't like using them that much because it doesn't feel natural to me when writing.
  8. usually, i try to use only formal language, but it really depends on the social circle.
  9. i don't intend to knowingly use slang words to avoid confusing people, but i can use common abbreviations online to save time and space.
  10. there should fundamentally be principles and unwritten rules for a civil society. a decent man treats others with decency to honor himself and his family.
  11. i'm not following any; it just doesn't come naturally to me.
  12. i don't speak english well, but i'm trying to improve it.
  13. i simply like to write well, with beautiful words and beautiful sentences. i find it important to vary your vocabulary and enrich it.
  14. i don't usually use them in my own language (french) because i like speaking a "correct" language, but when it comes to english, i don't mind that much, maybe because that's how i learn the language. learning it through people speaking, i'm used to slang and if i don't really use them, i'm okay with it!
  15. i try to maintain formal language, and by that, i mean i’m trying as much as possible to use a good vocabulary and not abbreviations of words.
  16. it looks weird and a little childish to me (when i write something like this), but i don't mind other people using them.
  17. i am not really following many rules, i am just trying to be respectful. however, i do not consider others using slang phrases to be disrespectful, i just prefer not to use them too often.
