English is not a dead language. It is however, lying on the side of the road bleeding profusely.

I've been on the internet since around 94 before that I was on usenet, fidonet and belonged to various dial-up BBS's. One thing I've noticed after all these years online is the extreme degradation of English usage. Why would thousands if not millions of people make the exact same mistake all of the sudden? Is it a conspiracy?

Here are some blatant examples that have become extremely prevalent.

Loose.

I hate it when I loose at counterstrike. (Grrrrrr! This is kindergarten stuff people!)

Saleing.

I'm saleing my beanie babies to pay for the other half of my lobotomy. (Selling! selling! arrrgg!!)

For Sell.

My nose goblin collection is for sell. (Have you ever seen a "for sell" sign? You retarded fuck!)

Very Unique. Unique is like pregnant, either you are or you aren't. People who think they are smart use "very unique" to try to impress people. BZZZZZT! Sorry! You lose! Thanks for playing. We have some nice parting gifts for you back stage.....

Abbreviations have become about as annoying as misused and misspelled words.

PLZ. If you are going to ask for something please spell out "please" you lazy asswipe.

ZOMG. Its not even cute. Its fucking ignorant. Stop it.

KK . Its supposed to be a form of "ok" which itself has retarded origins. Why make it more retarded?

NOOB, NEWB, NEUB NUBE. Its how 40 year old geeks insult each other online from their mothers basement.

PWN. Jokes over. Nothing to see here. Move along people.

Everyone makes mistakes, that's why god bestowed upon us the infallible spell checker.

They're is no weigh a spell checkered wood make a miss steak. That's why I rely on it and do not question it's infinite wisdom.

I feel better now.
