Ada hal yang harus diperhatikan dari dampak teknologi ini bagi pelajar yang masih
awam dengan teknologi yaitu bahasa dan transfer rate. Pelajar boleh saja memiliki teknik
penulisan yang baik namun efek buruk sosial media yang membuat bahasa anak menjadi
tidak mudah dimengerti. Singkatan kata yang sering muncul membuat makna lain dan
menyulitkan. Selain bahasa yang menjadi tidak baku, pelajar yang sudah mengenal
teknologi menjadi sangat selektif untuk memilih kalimat pendek dengan inti yang lebih
mudah dicerna. Hal ini mengakibatkan pelajar sulit untuk mencerna kalimat dengan
jumlah kata yang panjang dan kebanyakan akan kehilangan maknanya (Transfer rate yang
lama).
Saya sangat setuju teknologi membantu pelajar untuk mengerti lebih dalam,
namun tidak dapat dipungkiri harus ada filter atau standar yang menjaga bahasa mereka
tetap baku dalam penulisannya.
4. I Typically do and what I skip from 21 Proofreading and Editing Tips for
Writers.
I do :
a. Proofread and edit every single piece of writing before it is seen by another
set of eyes. No exceptions. Even if you hire a professional editor or
proofreader, check your work first. (1)
b. Read your work aloud. Pronounce each word slowly and clearly as you read
and check for mistakes. (6)
c. At the very least, proofread until you dont catch any more errors. (9)
d. Look up the spelling of proper names as well as scientific and technical terms
that youre not familiar with to make sure youre spelling them correctly. (11)
e. Dont forget to proofread titles, headlines, and footnotes. (13)
f. Pay attention to formatting. Use the same formatting on all paragraphs and
headings for a professional level of consistency. Learn how to use these
features in your word processing software (in MS Word, this feature is called
Styles). (18)
g. Proofread when youre fresh and wide awake. Proofreading doesnt go over
well when youre tired or distracted. (19)

I skip :
a. Proofreading should never be a rush job. Do it s l o w l y. (7)
b. Dont make any assumptions. If youre not sure about something, look it up
so you can fix a mistake (if there is one) and learn the correct way. (12)
c. Start building a collection of grammar books and writing resources so when
you do run into questions (and you will), you have access to reliable and
credible answers. (16)
d. Make it your business to develop good grammar skills. Read up on grammar
or subscribe to a blog that publishes grammar posts (like this one) to stay up
to date on proper grammar. (21)
e. Proofreading and editing can be tedious, so break up your revision sessions
by doing other tasks that help you clear your mind: exercise, play with the
pets or kids, go for a short walk, or listen to some music. Try to avoid reading
or writing during these breaks. (20)
