Translated into English from what?

Translated from what the English language would probably evolve into, in less than a hundred years time if we don't take the necessary precautions right now.

Technology is the culprit. The very same technology that had us reeling asking for more after the computer became a trend in offices bidding a hasty farewell to typewriters.



The computer, the tool with which the Internet could be accessed, made a giant leap into the lives of millions when the Internet was made accessible to the public.

A parallel situation saw a thing called texting which involves sending text messages from the keypad of one mobile phone to the screen of another and vice versa.

Almost immediately the trend to shorten words in a bid to save the agony of having to spell out every single word was generated.

This trend of shortening words in text messages caught on pretty fast and soon became widely accepted. Evolution of this trend too took place so rapidly that along with simplified spellings, omitting prepositions and conjunctions, and even leaving out vowels from words caught on.

From here on it would be only a matter of time for the deteoration of the English language that you have witnessed in the electronic media to seep into the other media like newspapers and magazines and wherever else the written word was needed.

This new trend emerged purely for the sake of convenience, and for saving time. Speed was most vital ... they thought.

This trend was carried out in chat sites online, and even noticeable was the absence of a space between words after a punctuation mark.

Spell it the way you think fit and as long as it is understood. That's all that matters. That is the opinion of some.

Will this really happen is an important question. If it does, let this prevail in the world of mobile telephones and in chat rooms only. Leave the print media alone!
