Stupid, stupid, stupid. Seriously, what are they going to do next? Change Japanese into a series of emoticons?
There is no signature here. Move along.
Even if it were changed, they cant force billions (i think) of people to change the way they spell and teach thier children to spell. soon enough they'll have a simplified simplified chinese
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
Ok, I tried desperately but I cannot resist....DUMBEST IDEA EVER!!!! How can people learn something better when they do not learn it CORRECTLY GEEZ I MEAN FOR SMURFING SMURFS SAKE HOW DUMB DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO NOT BE ABLE TO LEARN A LANGUAGE...in 3 months I learnt enough Japanese to be able to help myself learn the rest...Japanese is damn hard to learn what 3/4 alphabets, grammar that made my eyes cross and my tongue knot...Whatever happens to the English Language I will forever teach my children how to speak and write properly...I didn't suffer 7 years of speech therapy for my perfect pronounciation and smurf knows how many years studying English to be told I have to become a damn RETARD.
Mini explosion over, carry on nothing to see here.
The New English looks really ridiculous! The old one isn't that hard anyway...it's all Greek to me!![]()
Hey! Letters like u and r can mean words, like you and are!
This is a signature.
If this were to actually happen, I would cry. I love the English language when it's used even semi-formally. The sad thing is, it's being oversimplified it's already stupid. Using a 'z' in the place of an 's' in plural form is far too common, along with 'u' for you, and 'r' for are. For crying out loud, some people can't even type/write full words anymore, thanks to the overusage of 'lol', 'brb', 'roflmao', etc.
It makes me cry on the inside.
That's why you won't see me abbreviate like that. Hell, I don't even use emoticons. I have them disabled by default and only enable them when I'm quoting someone who used them.
I can't stand people who type like that. It's just stupid.
Yeah, occassionally in IM, I do use LOL, but only when I'm really laughing out loud and it's really hilarious. I can't stand people who say it after every line regardless of who said it.
Is roflsaurusrex still good?
what about omfgaslwtfsarsstdhobbitsex?
=(
It's already happened. It's called the internet.
there was a picture here
Languages are beautiful the way they are. Transforming them into a generic mesh of rules would take away the whole fun of learning them.
