Guys.. English changes.. i am indian though not from India.. but i see letters from india, time to time and golly :P their english looks archaic compared to the current flavour. Personally the word "gay" meant happy or bright when i was growing up.. gay old dandy meant a fun loving guy who never married .. now it means a male homosexual. A slang became the real McCoy and they went and changed enid blyton books to reflect the change.

As for the UK Lass, she is probably too busy messaging her friends on her celluar phone to do a proper essay. Just fail her and anyone else who does similar work..

I always sms inasmuch proper english as i can, strangely due to my handphone. My motorola has a builtin auto spelling eg 4663 -> good or home -> choose word -> ok -> next word. It is more troublesome and time consuming to do shorthand like the UK lass so maybe to improve english they should implement this in all handphones and maybe also a grammer checker as well ? :P

I´m quite baffled by the response to GT:s post. Am I the only one (except GT, obviously) who sees the humour in it?

And where do you get the idea that the young girl wasn´t able to write in a perfectly ordinary way had she chosen to do so?

Wow, the way some people react.

Sure it's funny, but at her expense. Surely if she were capable, or cared at all, she would have done a better job? And the example I gave were true. Its symptomatic of todays youth.

But, yes, I did chuckle.

It's not funny, it's sad.

Nobody takes education seriously any more.

Then they wonder why the world treats them unfairly, or why they can't have a good job, or why college is "so hard".

Why should a college degree make such a big difference when you have two people who have the same excact skills and experance and the only difference is College? Its ****ing lame....

If one goes to college and one doesn't, they do not have the same experience and skills.

Besides, the fact that a person goes to College and gets out with reasonable marks, shows ambition and a willingness to learn.

Well, if I was to blow up your house, and to your anger answered: "Matter is fluid, it evolves." Would you not throttle me there and then? There have to be rules for English, and there are. If not was follow them I could not you saying understand?

Perhaps not the best analogy.

Everything evolves. Science evolves, math evolves, history is always being written so that too can be said to evolve.

As for language, new entries are found in dictionaries evry year as language evolves too.
