They Have.


I said change, not regulate. The changes we were talking about were major enough that you'd never get people to adopt them any time soon. Yes, I knew about L'Académie française, and how it's been around for 376 years.

Because people get ye confused with thou. Ye is the colloquial pronoun for the plural second person. In other words, when you write "ye", it means "You all". Thou, on the other hand, is the pronoun for the singular second person. (Or "you.")


I was obviously being sarcastic because trying to forcefully reinstate old English as common would be stupid

Actually I've been slightly sarcastic this whole time who'd have thought I might even be right now and now it's getting too meta

Watch out.
This is cool.

Trust is basically knowing that if you were extremely vurnerable in one way or another that the person that you trust would not take advantage of you.

This is very vague, so i'll use the "trust fall" exercise as an example.

You let yourself fall backwards with someone close by behind you. The idea is that if you have trust in them you can fall like that and know they will catch you, rather than stepping back and lauging at you as you fall on the ground.

A more relevant example is knowing that someone wouldnt take your cash if you left your wallet on the table. It's basically about being close to someone to the extent you think they will always support you, even when it's tempting or profitable to take advantage.

But what if you don't trust someone, and you honestly and respectfully tell them so?

I should note that chatspeak is too inconsistant to be viable as a language, which actually makes it less efficient. One word in English may be represented in ten different ways in chatspeak.


Late response, the same can be said about "normal" English in many cases. Buffalo Buffalo buffalo Buffalo Buffalo, their/they're/there and your/you're being pronounced the same, it's all about context.

This means that the only way to understand chatspeak is by translating it to proper English in your mind, which requires a fairly good understanding of English if you are not a native speaker. Chatspeak is only there to make you do the work that someone else was too lazy to do.


This is only because you're used to it being written as it is now. It's not inherent in the writing itself. If you grew up with all of the letters backwards you'd think it's normal and have to "translate" reading our "normal" writing.

Watch out.
This is cool.

No, chatspeak has all the problems inherent in normal English, and then the problem of it not being consistent. lol lawl lul

Why did you write Buffalo 5 times? It's spelled exactly the same every time you write it too.
