Somewhere around 1450 our understanding of English, as it is spoken now, evolved. Prior to 1450, we English speakers of today would not have been able to communicate with English speakers of yore. The language was different to the point that it was, in fact, a different language, whilst still being English. Kind of how I, as a Canuck, feel, when speaking to my Scottish mate. Everyday. I have been reading lately about how language has been changing with the younger generation. Whilst my generation introduced: cool, groovy, far out, right on...those words didn't represent a fundamental shift in language. A clear indication of the evolving of language is the social acceptance of text talk, to the point where it has become text speak.Have you ever heard someone say OMG?There it is. Clearly humanity is in a fundamental language shift. So, my question is this:How long do you think it will be until we, as a 21st Century people, will be unable to comprehend our future kin?
