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 lafe wrote: slang in use Is not that bad, but when one of the kids i know said "lol" out loud instead of laffing, i thought:
this has gone too far.
either way english will change:
look how quickly we grow words:
150 years ago, if you said Tsunami, people would look at you like "WTF?"
but now its in the dictionary.
200 years from know, i predict, "English" will be a fusion of English, Mandern chinese, and Spanish.
not that that's a bad thing, that's the logical progression twords a "unified language". you were doing so well, lafe. why the relapse to being retarded.

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.
