The state of grammar on the internet.

I'm so in. Donuts rule. And being able to claim religious persecution will be awesome.

If nobody invented slang in the first place, wouldn't English still be English? Now we have Ghetto English (dawg, homie, etc), Internet English (u, lol, r), and of course Old, Middle, and Modern. Stick with Modern.

I just thought of something: What if someone from another country used the Internet to learn to type / talk in English? Wouldn't people be setting a bad example and thus be teaching them the WRONG way?
