Abstract

This paper presents some random surveys done by the author on an issue of Tuoi Tre newspaper (March 8, 2010, 20 pages, ads excluded). Results: I collected over 100 sentences and passages (approximately eight A4 pages (font size 12, Times New Roman) which I considered bearing “errors” or “problems”. In general, there are three types of errors: (i) errors of logics or expression, (ii) lexical errors, and (iii) grammatical errors. As a result, we have to raise an alarming issue about the Vietnamese language used in mass media (by journalists), not the one used by teenagers for chatting or texting.
