As I reflect on my education, I’m faced with a troubling issue: the bastardization of he English language.

Now I’m not about to preach about the laziness of the youth, or blame technology, but my question is, which form or destruction is worse? There are those who abbreviate every possible phrase into a string of letters (ttfn, brb, ttyl, lol, rolf, and the list goes on), or those who insist on compounding words and phrases that need not be compounded into single words (dunno, whatevs, wanna, gonna, etc). And of course there is a whole new dictionary of words created specifically by this new trend (for realsies).

Now I myself am guilty of several of these offences, I’m not going to pretend to be innocent. But where does the line come into play? I mean, at what point is the English language just an array of letters and fake words?

Damn kids.

I forgot where I was going with this. Mostly I’m just annoyed when I get emails and IMs filled with mindless gibber. Yes, I said gibber.

I don’t believe anyone aside from Yudi will actually read this anyway, and he writes out an appropriate amount of words in his texts and IMs, so I supposed this rant is for naught. Alas, I shall retire to Taz’s bed and leave you to your thoughts.

Happy snow day!
