Read the beginning of Jason's argumentative speech on the use of Internet slang and answer the question. The use of acronyms, or abbreviations, is not new. In fact, there are examples of the use of acronyms that date back to antiquity. Ancient scribes had a daunting enough task without having to write out every word. The Christian Church has inscribed the acronym INRI, which stands for the Latin Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum ("Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews") over the crucifix for centuries. American and European corporations discovered long ago that it is easier to remember three letters than it is to remember three names. During the twentieth century, there was an upsurge in the use of acronyms that corresponded with the introduction of highly technical vocabulary. The tendency to shorten has an established history and many of these abbreviations have even found their way into the dictionary. Today, the use of time-saving abbreviations provides the language of internet and other wireless communication. But should it? Unlike in the past, this shortening does not represent a natural and necessary progression of language change. Internet slang is a manifestation of two much more serious problems with modern society— intellectual laziness and too little time. Which sentence would provide the best transition into the counterargument paragraph of this essay? OMG! don't we have bigger problems as a society than taking a few short-cuts when it comes to communication? Until recently, the use of acronyms could be justified in most contexts. Intellectual laziness is a treatable disease, while finding more time is much more challenging. Many would argue that there is no harm in populating our communication with OMGs and LOLs given their widespread use.
