Re: English, online slang, and the official world
I sort of agree with you. Languages slowly blend together if one has a word that is either easier to say, refers to a more detailed form of the word, or refers to something that had no existing word for it. And English would probably be a mix of a lot more languages than that. It would probably have more Spanish in it than other languages because of Mexico's border with the United States.
Yes I just made this post to help people who couldn't understand lafe. I had to go through it a couple times too.

Re: English, online slang, and the official world
You missed a question mark there, i think. I think that fact that words we pick up from the internet make their way into daily life is an indication of how prolific it has become. I also think it doesnt really matter.
