So is the English Language being killed off by technology and modern dialect?
Well many commentators often remark that the English language has and always will be on a continual state of evolution. New words emerge an others vanish. This is fine, but with the advent of technology and SMS is our language under threat? SMS allows us to remove vowels, or only use vowels.
Cn u c me 2nite?
R u ther w8tng
Soz, whn u cmg out nxt?
What does that mean? Whilst I am no great writer myself. I do ry and use correct words and phrases.
The other major threat is youth culture (or is that Yuff Culture) All the ave-its and innits? It was bad when bad meant good. Wicked was great and wack meant bad. Nowadays it has gone even further sick means great apparently. Lets not forget the terms if you admire somebody "that bird is fit" or "that bloke is buff"
Anyway, suppose I will just have to keep up.
Or should I say
Ah well, spose i wil av 2 keep up
Safe geezer, av to play it cool and be sick innit
Or something along those lines
