I have to note that the article “Thx for the IView! I Wud ❤ to Work 4 U!! ;)” excels at sharing this underrated issue with the world. Even I had not known that these young job hunters could try to befriend someone on social media sites, alike the story in the article which states that “a candidate for an assistant account-executive job recently sent a “friend” invite to Ms. Friedman Tush on her personal Facebook page following an interview.” I am shocked that this job hunter had even thought of befriending his interviewer!
Even so, I must comment on the ‘softness’ of this article. Yes, it does open the door to this issue and how our language of English has slowly become more ‘dumbed down’ due to these new generations’ simplistic, rude and intrusive ideas. But, it does not put the foot down firmly enough to truly take a stance on this being an issue. It seems as though the author has not fully expressed the worrying situation we are facing with the loss of our sense of formality and instead seems to simply spread word of the ‘issue’ as not an issue itself, but as a warning to the new generations. I find this is not enough to be able to sway the already-infected populace of new and informal job hunters. To truly leave a mark, the author must take a strong stand against this issue and must fight to persuade others to try to save our once beautiful language. Something alike “We must fight this!” or “The loss of our language will be inevitable if we don’t stand now!”
