Teh English language is goin' straight to hell. Words like "the" are being replaced by "teh" and simple phrases like "How's your mother doing?" are being ambushed by sayings like "Where's yo mama?" While some of these phrases make me lmao, I honestly wonder what a common sentence will sound like in teh year 2100? WDYT?

I don't really care. It probably is becoming a simpler and less eloquent language these days, but that doesn't really bother me. As long as the language is deep enough to express whatever one's thinking, I don't really mind.

Although I really do hate people that, like, use the word like, like, forever. Totally!

Yeah, it'll be so advanced that we just have to think to each other. We wouldn't have to post on Gamespot, we could think on it with each other. :lol:

As long as I can understand what the person is getting at, I have no problem with people mixing the language up.

  1. "Are you quite alright, my friend?" (Standard English c.1850 -> today)
  2. "You alright, mate?" (Middle Class English c.1905 -> today)
  3. "Y'alrigh'?" (Chav English c.2003 -> today)
  4. "Orrah?" (Caveman English c.30,000 BC -> 1500 BC, but set to make a comeback in late 2007)
  5. "Urr." (Gorilla Grunt, the first language of the world's monkey population, and due to take hold of the chavs by the end of 2009).

What do you think happened to Latin? Slang. That's how we got French, Spanish, English, Portugese, German, and so on. Just a bunch of people being too lazy to speak properly.

People have been ruining the English language for years. We see them now as just the language evolving.
