David Crystal, Linguistic is addressing young generation by giving the history of Internet, facebook, twitter, blog, printing, press and blog. Digital natives are using new language in their text messages and chatting, it is the new phase of English language. He is of the opinion that “Text messages are good for English language”. Many thinkers are of the opinion that technology has distorted the pure form of English language. But according to David it is not so. Text messages are never full abbreviations. It contains only 10% of message. Our present examination system is very much conservative about Standard English and it will accept only correct English. But our students are very much intelligent, they will never use text language in exam because they know it very well that it will decrease his marks. Internet has made the world one little village. Earlier one new invented word took long time to reach to the people, but now it can be popular within one day with the use of technology. Initially there was only one Standard English that British English. But today we find a wide variety of English such as American English, Indian English, South African English, Nigerian English etc. So there is no any kind of “Correct English” in this world. Indian people are habituated in using English. Language is the most complex thing in the world which includes so many components within itself. They use it as most frequent tool for conversation. Today it is very easy for teacher to teach any language, you just have to type the word and Google will provide you end number of information.
