I'm sure the same thing was said 200 years, 400 years and 600 years ago. If language is a reflection of culture, then your going to have to let language go, as sad as that is, because we can't stop the shifts in our culture. It's meant to change, so don't worry about it, just find a comfy niche to carve for yourself and watch everyone else go by. It's what I'm doing anyway.

Besides, if you think it's bad for English, imagine how it feels to have Welsh or Irish Gaelic as your first language. They've seen their language almost die in front of them.


Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
