&gt; <i>There’s a way that young people talk these days, and it’s totes hilars. You see it on Twitter a lot.</i><p>Makes a lot of sense. Speaking to other humans in real life maps perfectly to ideation, generating that into text, and then uploading it to a website that has a 160char limit. Speaking requires a lot of effort because not only do you think of what you want to say, but then you have to <i>verbalize it</i>.<p>Online, people obviously have to do the first part, but it is so much <i>easier</i> to then find all of the keys associated with an individual word and input them on the per sentence basis, plus you get to include proper punctuation and additional characters which makes this way easier.<p>This article is super interesting. Language hasn&#x27;t evolved or changed (even slightly) in the preceding hundred years. It&#x27;s really weird to think we have been using the same language that came out of Egypt in 2690 b.c. In fact, we still use the same hieroglyphs that adorned the walls of the great pyramid of Giza.<p>It is pretty amazing if you think about it. From cave paintings, to papyrus scrolls and eventually to Gutenberg&#x27;s PP, shit even with the digital communications and texting in the 80&#x27;s and 90&#x27;s, language has stayed the same.<p>If this language was good enough for Shakespeare, millenials, the people who often pick up the physical Washington Times everyday, should think twice before foraging on with these nonsensical changes.<p>Also, the world is more closed now than ever, so ideas often spread slower. Which makes this even more astounding!
