Technology and invention has always brought in its wake the aye Sayers as well as revolt from the traditionalist’s and nay Sayers. The Printing press, the Telephone and now the Internet, E-books and Kindle will definitely, sound the death knell for books and news papers in the long run.
The vibrancy of language will be truncated by text messaging and SMS speak? Will language skills be affected by shortened words or conversely will it bolster creativity?-2G2BT (too good to be true.). The aesthetics and flowery prose will certainly be lost to a generation that says “WTF?”, it doesn’t matter if our English is not good enough provided our Scotch (Whiskey/Smart phone) is good. ROTFL. Internet, twitter, e-mail, SMS and its ilk are quickies; “Slam, Bam, goodbye Ma’am” not like a real conversation which is like a passionate love affair…. LMAO …
Great conversations are seldom linear and don’t progress logically; they digress and meander all over. You can’t put complex thoughts into one line or 14 characters. Conversations are about the ability to relax – it’s like listening to music, you come away rejuvenated. You also need a minimal amount of knowledge to carry out a fascinating and productive dialogue.
Conversations are like cognac and a good Cuban cigar, it takes time to savor the taste, but people alas, have no time, formality kills conversations. Long live the Queen, but sadly the Queens language is being slaughtered and has become an endangered species. You speeke duh Engleesh?
GTG, now my cell is pinging sensuously~ I had put it on vibrator mode for my G.F since the old log is off.- LOL let me log in now, BRB (be right back).- Vinay-
