Literacy and life.
Has anyone noticed that people have stopped fully using the enlgish language? Now it is called L33t Sp34k so on and so forth. And people are butchering it. Yes in humor it is okay, but when you are trying to have a normal conversation with someone who is barely speaking properly it is frustrating. Here is an example: Yo, wat up wit u?.. Are you serious? What has happened! I learned quickly when I start following the internet trend of this speak, That I slowly lost proper habits in spelling and talking. I began writing the way I typed. Does anyone fear that this could become the new english language. I mean it has changed so much from what it was in the past. Why can it not change again? Just another thing for society to make it's own. Every generation will want something to make it's own. This generation. Wants everything, to be their own....

Yea, it is a big threat coming up. With more and more people growing up living on the internet, their literary skills are being redirected into "1337 5P34K" or what ever it is.
i agree exactly with what you mean, sometimes after ive been online for longer then normal i found i have toruble adjusting back to typing and talking in proper english.
Way to totally steal my "Quit butchering the English language" statement.
