<![CDATA[The development of social media and online media has changed the communication patterns of university students, particularly in their use of Indonesian in digital spaces. Fast-paced and informal communication often causes spelling accuracy to receive less attention. This study aims to analyze forms of Indonesian spelling errors in students’ digital communication and to describe factors contributing to their occurrence. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach using content analysis. The data consist of language use in students’ digital communication obtained from digital sources and previous studies published during the 2022–2026 period. The data were analyzed by identifying, classifying, and comparing language forms with the Indonesian Enhanced Spelling Guidelines (EYD) Fifth Edition. The results indicate that common errors include inappropriate capitalization, punctuation, word writing, non-standard forms, word shortening, and code mixing. These findings suggest that the fast, practical, and informal characteristics of digital communication influence students’ accuracy in applying Indonesian spelling conventions. Nevertheless, not all informal language forms can be categorized as errors because the communicative context must also be considered. This study implies the importance of improving students’ digital language literacy so that they are able to adjust their language use according to formal and informal communication contexts.]]>
