“English is a highly dynamic language and as such, should not be meddled with.”
Some of the changes described in the article are already evolving out of texting and twitter. Rap culture tends that way also. cu soon. hav biznes 2 do.
Another interesting development. Linguists have thought for a long time that the English verb “to be” would take centuries and centuries to regularize (English verbs have regularized historically in an inverse relationship to the commonness of the use of the verb. E.g., “He spake”).
But “to be” has begun to regularize in rap culture in only about 20 years. “I be top dog.” “We be goin’ soon.” The practice has spread quickly to the general culture amongst youngsters. I be done writing now.
You make some good points. Got to say, though, that seeing the twitter and message slang like r, cu, lol, and others is to me like fingernails on a blackboard. I have resisted going with the flow with just a couple exceptions: I have been known to use btw and iirc. But I think that’s about the extent of my corruption. I do hope that ghetto slang doesn’t catch on in serious communications. My children and I message daily on our phones using full English while a contemporary of mine uses the common abbreviations.
You seem to want to succumb to the same, frankly disastrous, point of view that consigned even Medieval Latin to the ash-heap of history.
Given the relative levels of civilisation and language at that time and now, you would apparently surrender to those having even fewer demonstrable brain cells than the assorted barbarian hordes.
As M. T. Cicero used to ask, when confronted with a crime such as you (apparently) advocate: "Cui bono?"
