In the case of "Good english" versus "Internet slang", both are in the same environments. They both are spread equally around the world (for the newer generations, at least) and concern as many people, mostly native speakers, as second language english speakers usually care more about syntax and grammar than native speakers (although I have no source to confirm this). In other words, both different languages cohabit and are exposed to the same conditions. You're right, my bad.

Guildo, you have to keep in mind about who you are communicating with. If you are trying to appeal to a large range of people, perhaps proper grammar is the best way to communicate, and even so, you have to keep in mind about who's your audience.
Broken English can be just as effective as a communicating tool. It definitely can't be used in the same way as proper English, but it can still be used for communicating. A lot of people in my neighborhood come from foreign countries and have been here for more years than I have lived, yet, they always speak in broken English. Although they most definitely give an outward appearance of having an IQ lower than a grapefruit, they are still skilled in their area of expertise, there is no argument about that. Then again, this is just one world, their work world, and I don't see them in this world often, instead, I see them in the their family world when I visit my friends. My friends can speak with proper grammar, yet, when they talk their parents, they choose to speak with broken English and I have a feeling that the message that's passing between them is better conveyed than if my friend decided to speak in proper English, which they (the parent) would not have understood. EDIT: Just to clarify, not all words have the same connotations for every person. A certain word, such as friend, may hold a different meaning depending on the person. Speaking in broken English serves as a mean to clarify the meanings of the words between two people, in this case, the parent and the child. That's what I mean when I said that the parent "would not have understood." ~Tsugomaru
