The by-product of a society where language skills, spelling, and word craftsmanship have been relegated to abbreviation's, spell check, and one-to-two syllable words. We can only wonder what future generations will communicate with?
How about the fact that your last sentence is grammatically incorrect? "We can only wonder" is an action, not a question.
'Course, I dun' no' nuthin', I is jus' a teenager...
Seriously, though.
There are some of us who keep the English language alive. I am seventeen years of age, and I
send text messages with perfect grammar and spelling.
It's a pain, but I give respect to my language.
Having said that, I also refer to shotguns as "shotties".
Why? Well, I have nicknames for my friends. I regard shotguns as my friends, at least when they act right.
We yung'uns have a word for people who start newbies out with magnum 12-gauge loads (or magnum loads of any kind):
Douchebags.
Oh, one last thing:
Voting.
My birthday is November 3rd, 1990.
I will be 18 the
day before the election, and six states over from my state of residence.
I should also be getting my absentee ballot tomorrow.
