The language we speak now

It used to be formal. The language we once spoke wasn't any slang or text or whatever. It was pure formal spoken word. Nowadays we are speaking as one could say, stupider. It will only get dumber. There is hip hop language which is as much fun to make fun of it, as it is hard to understand it. Then there is the coming introduction to text speak. Instead of saying whatever people are trying to say. They instead, say the text form of it. There are a few videos on YouTube with super nerds saying "luls" or "Ruffle" instead of just straight laughing at whatever it is that is making them laugh. This makes me sad to see how stupid and text and internet oriented the people around us and our language is getting. Sadly, it is as my mother had said it will be. It will only get worse. As the saying does go, "Mother is always right"

Pleading for formality in our language,

Yours Truly
