As I walk in school, I hear some things that make me think, like if I drop something, they pick it up and ask "who dis?" and yet I hear people from Colombia speak it properly and go "whose is this?"
Am I going crazy, or are people getting really lazy speaking English? It started with texting and now people seem to be talking really weirdly. Like I don't even #basicShow Image(http://www.cute-factor.com/images/smilies/onion/th_053_XD.gif)
Quasi-related:I applaud you for typing this...
The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

English is probably my 3rd language and I think I speak quite well regardless but I struggle with words that are commonly used in household or when you are growing up - words that books or movies or schools don't teach you.
For instance, I just learned that those little things served along with food is called condiments. And that those M&M or Choc chips that you put on top of a ice cream cones are called sprinkles. Or that when my daughter fell and had a cut, it's not just 'I had a cut' or 'I fell' but 'I skinned my knees'! I think I will have a hard time having normal, non business conversations!!!

It only sounds gritty and abrasive because you don't know what they're saying..
If you had say an Eskimo listen to war-yelling in English... that'd sound just as gritty..
TL;DR this thread... but my opinion on this:
I blame the complete lack of Darwinism in humanity, and particularly in America.
Idiots breeding with other idiots that, in any other species, would have died for their stupidity.
Not to mention that the average American isn't intelligent enough to embrace their own beliefs, so they conform to everyone else's. And these days, since a majority of people lack decent language skills, it's become a part of the culture.
This is the danger of conformity...
I think your perspective is the same as Every Older person looking at Younger People..
If you look across your age group.. probably most people measure up closely..
But if you look at young people 10yrs your junior, , they're going to lack the life experience and the Few extra text-books you've read..
Here's the thing: 10 years my junior is looking at 10 year olds...
Oh I understand it quite well. German is just the natural war language here in europe after their exploits in the last 100 years.
It might change to russian if Putler keeps it up though.

I was referring to people in my own generation when I said "the average American isn't intelligent enough to embrace their own beliefs".
I used the term "beliefs" a bit too broadly it seems...
I was referring more to free thinking. The ability to take in outside information, process it, and make your own opinion based on it. Something many Americans lack. They believe what their told rather than coming up with their own conclusions.

Maybe I'm biased due to the fact that I'm only a few years out of high school and my class was, and I quote, "the worst class to go through this school in 50 years".
It also doesn't help that I live in a fairly remote part of my state, where there seems to be an abundance of idiot rednecks.

Isn't Anerican culture set up to be the exact opposite of that?
With a horribly unfair two party system America uses, and the fact that there is unlimited spending allowed for parties means only the richest may apply and get anywhere really... Yet everywhere the chimes of 'worlds greatest democracy' is chanted out which all the other brainwashed patriotism...
don't know if you got through my previous post yet, but your experience would fit quite well, how rich are those average rednecks in a remote end of the state.

I can see that yes, in certain situations, your scenario fits quite well with the types of folk I grew up around. There was about equal parts pretentious *******s who had everything handed to them and well-rounded individuals who had to work for what they had and had better character for it.
What I don't quite understand is your perception of time as it pertains to the ability of a free thinker.
You're implying that someone brought up in a wealthy family environment who had everything handed to them is a person who is more likely to be a free thinker simply because they have more free time?
To be perfectly honest, I think the fact that your basing someones intelligence or their ability to think freely on their socio-economic status is blatantly wrong.

your ability to be open-minded (which is obviously based on the first two).

Actually, I lied about understanding your sarcasm. My intention was to make you THINK I understood it, so you would begin over-analyzing how my understanding of your sarcasm means you misunderstood MY sarcasm, proving that you have a tendency to over-analyze the most trivial things.
I rest my case.
Nothing is trivial..
and I don't know why you're so proud of merely having 'Lied"Show Image(http://eemoticons.net/Upload/big%20onion/th_54.gif)
That is not wit..
I still feel the worst butchering of engrish is when someone wants to "axe you a quesin". No you can't "axe" me anything.
And that's what grinds my gears.
I know I don't have the best English grammar or spelling skills (thank god for spell check), but I don't try and perpetuate it. I don't even use "text talk" when I text.
