The fall of our language

And once again I'm talking about a subject that people argue about daily, but then proceeding to do it anyway. Hypocrite? Well I've now decided on my own terms to quit slang as much as i can. It's bare really hard to change the way I've been speaking and typing on MSN for the past 5 years. I've grown so accustomed to the constant usage of these words that i think the have become apart of me.. Moving on to a new college i think the best thing to do is just to quit altogether and start from scratch. Colloquialism is the basis for the destuction of the English Language.

Over the past few days i read a book. I finished it yesterday, the book restored hope in me for the majority of a second before i realised the publish date and when it was written. The book is called 'The Great Gatsby'... It filled me with wonder and a passion that you can only gain from reading to learn more about and around this set period. I'm lucky enough to have been encouraged to read from a young age so i have always been fluently literate, enough for me to remember the language.

the people who wern't so fortunate have become the catalysts.

If you greet me online by saying 'kl' i don't respect you. All the other variations to that are just the same. I don't like to judge someone before i've gotten to know them but here's the exception, as soon as i see the way how you type i judge you. I'm sorry, it must be how my mind works but as soon as you start to miss out vowels, WHOLE words, i don't think you're intelligent. You could be getting A*'s and i'd still think it... Also if you type like that, and then i use slang aswell, and i don't speak how i'm speaking above, then you're in the 'i don't think you're that smart' column. Not that you care, 'it's only msn' wait until you get back your GCSE results.

Hold it.
