Internet slang such as LOL (laughing out loud) and ROFL (rolling on the floor laughing) enjoys great popularity among teenagers nowadays. In fact, it becomes so popular that many terms now cross from computer-mediated communication to face-to-face communication. Some teenagers even use them in essay writing.
People have different opinions towards this phenomenon. Some people say that it will help enrich the language system and make language diverse. But others disagree, saying that these new words, being abbreviations for existing, long-used phrases, don’t “enrich” anything; they just shorten it and their total effect on language will be trivial.
In my opinion, Internet slang has little effect on language in general, but will greatly influence individuals’, especially teenagers’ language development. The reason is that overuse of Internet slang will lead to the lack of proper punctuations and grammar and has numerous misspellings in writing. That will drastically reduce chances of employment when students graduate and seek jobs. So, for the sake of their future, teenagers had better refrain from Internet slang.

人們對這種現象有不同的看法。有人說這將有助于豐富語言系統，使語言多樣化。但也有人不同意，說這些新單詞，縮寫為現有的，長期使用的短語，不要“豐富”任何東西，他們只是縮短，他們的總的影響，對語言將是微不足道的。
在我看來，網絡俚語對語言的影響不大，但會極大地影響個人，尤其是青少年的語言發(fā)展。原因是，過度使用互聯網的俚語會導致正確的標點和語法的不足，在寫作上有許多拼寫錯誤。這將大大減少學生畢業(yè)時就業(yè)的機會。因此，為了他們的未來，青少年不要使用網絡俚語。
