[glow=red,2,300]Here's an interesting quetion for you: Is language dying? People say that due to new inventions like spell check and the instant messenger, no one is bothering to learn how to spell or use proper sentances. I don't know if half my school can name different parts of speech. [/glow] Yeah!  (You misspelled sentence.) [glow=red,2,300]... Ironic... [/glow] |

Making up words are fun, Pobbly. Interesting fact: In 1000 years, who knows how people are going to speak. [glow=red,2,300]Here's an interesting quetion for you: Is language dying? People say that due to new inventions like spell check and the instant messenger, no one is bothering to learn how to spell or use proper sentances.

Language isn't dying as much as it's being murdered. But it'll survive as you need it in the business and professional world.
What's sad is that some people turn in papers/reports using chatspeak, acronyms and smileys...

Mm, that's right. Like, on TV programmes set in the future, they always talk in modern english, not future language. What's up with that?
Also, I can name most of the parts of the language, but only because I take French. They don't teach it in English, we just read poetry. *shudders*

Rider, how much longer will you be on for? ...... If you guessed it was Patrick who wanted to know, you're correct. And Kat, Patrick's mom is the only one in his family who uses chatspeak. |

Like in Aladdin, they should've been speaking Arabic. XP It's just for the purpose of people being able to watch it, of course. |

What's sad is that I can't write a proper Malay essay without shortening some of the words, 'cause I'm so used to doing it in my Science drill papers. |

Mm, I read a newspaper article on the English noticeboard, and apparently most teens don't know the difference between 'there' 'their' and 'they're'. |

Well, it's time for me to hit the road. I'm all decked out in my dress clothes and stuff and look real nice (minus the stitches above my eye... e.e;; )....
See you all in a few hours.
