How Social Media Affect Arabic Language Spelling ?
Social media affect Arabic language negatively, where people became less aware of their way in writing.
1- We noticed that people changed some form of Arabic words by these ways:
Making words shorter
Doubling some letter
Writing word as its pronounce
they write شكككككررا instead of شكراً
we write ع and ف instead of على and في
we write طه instead of طيب
3- Solution
Popular on social media should encourage people to write in correct form of words
We should to rise the awareness of the importance of correct writing
2- Why people do this spelling mistakes?
Most people use many apps in the same time, so they write quickly and don't focus in spelling
Some people imitate others in writing like famous people, ect.
If we still make spelling mistakes in Arabic language. By the time, we will face many troubles in formal writing like: in work and education.
Some people want to be different.
جدن instead of جداً
باللهي instead of بالله
We can make accounts on Instagram and twitter or apps that help people to differentiate between the wrong and correct spelling
شوكرن instead of شكراً
Nowadays، many children starting using whatsUp to communicate with their classmate (as a new way) , so they writing in wrong way and there is no one correct them. that's why it continues with them till they grown up.
Often in every new phones there is a spelling corrector for English. Some phones made one for Arabic language, but it's very weak. Therefore, as Arab we should develope this serves.
Some people write ض as ظ
and vice versa, e.g: they write مريظ not مريض
Some people write ئ as ي, e.g: they write متي not متى
they always write مشاء الله instead of ماشاء الله and الحمدالله instead of الحمدلله
