Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Van Tinh from the Vietnam Institute of Dictionaries and Encyclopedias also affirmed that the mechanism of language is to self-clear the turbidity, what has not been used will be eliminated by itself.
The support of the elderly speakers is expected to relieve generational differences and make young people satisfied.
The cover of the book `Assassin with a Festering Head` has been suspended from release by artist Thanh Phong.
There are young audiences who are completely opposed to promoting the expression `the killer’s head is festering`.
An audience member gave his opinion on whether the sayings of @ era youth should be published as a book or not.
In response to concerns about whether the language of @ era youth should be included in the dictionary, according to Associate Professor Dr. Pham Van Tinh, the Oxford dictionary has now included some slang.
There are still many concerns from young people, but in limited time, literary critic Pham Xuan Nguyen closed the debate with the famous quote of scholar Pham Quynh: `Vietnamese language is still alive, our country is still alive.`
