Internet slang such as "dinosaurs",for ugly women,and "PK",for competition,are now fobidden in Shanghai's official documents,news broadcasts and textbooks.The public hold different views on the regulation.What's your opinion?

Of course it would be best to use the appropriate words in formal documents. Even in informal conversations, it is still best to be using wholesome words and not those slang words used by slang people. In news, there are times when a slang word is used but the person who said that word need to explain what it is for all the audience to understand. I don't like to use slang words most of the time.

hi vincyk I just hate hearing slang terms like dinosaurs for ugly women, who needs that. it should be banned in news, in formal documents and in all usage as its unkind and uncivilized too.
That is the ugliest term I have heard for so called ugly women, if they have to do that then get one for ugly men too,or do all men think they are so darned gorgeous? No we should use civilezed words in all our speech informal and formal.
