I find the evolution of language absolutely fascinating. Does anyone have any good links to proper research on the effect of the internet?
Most of the articles are from a while ago, but I quite like The Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication. http://jcmc.indiana.edu/issues.html

I get really sick of words like "epic", "fail" or "owned."

I like "fail." It usually accompanies a picture that makes me laugh.

I turned against those type of pictures since I was a de-motivate picture with an autistic child.

I also just hate the way everyone talks like that now. It's like they have no life outside the internet. I'm talking about my 20-something peers and don't mean to offend.


they did that! Do you have a link? that is awful :cry:

It's horrible. If I ever meet someone with this type of humor I'll do unspeakable things to them.


Let me help. :evil:
I've got a sensory toy I can whack them with. :evil:

Net speak has always been hard for me. I perfer people to spell things out and it gets really confusing when people use it in conversation in person :? I hate when a conversation is full of ambogous speach and net talk I tend to get lost in the conversation. I am gilty of bad grammer and MANNY spelling erros and for getting punctuation and I think that might be do to my mild dyslexia that is comorbid with my autsim.
