    What worries me is the possibility that the English language will follow internet slang to an extent that it's more widely used than contempoary modern English. What would happen to literature? Could you really imagine a revised version of Shakespeare with 'OMG said Juliet as Romeo was a right dick and stabbed himself. The Montagues and Capulets were 0wned'

     

    Then again, the Elizabethans are blateantly looking down on us from the afterlife saying 'You are!? What is this!? Can't they say thou art!?'

    I don't reckon it'll get so bad as 'OMG j00 n00b' in real life, but I do think that English might start using more "sensible" spellings. You know like 'nite' instead of 'night' (as it's used in text speak).

     

    After all English isn't exactly perfect to begin with, we have like three different sounds for 'ough'. To someone who doesn't speak it from birth, English must make very little sense.

    Just anything, it all pisses me off. It's no different from when other gay assed social groups make up words. Innit!

    Proper safe fo shizzle.

    Anyway, internet speak doesn't really bother me so long as I can understand what it means.

    I mean, ones that shorten long phrases like 'in my opinion' etc are useful 'cause they speed stuff up.

    I only get pissed off when people spell stuff wrong and say things like 'I've got more guns then that guy' and 'he took you're wallet' etc.

     

    EDIT: oh and apostrophes.. for fuck's sake they're so simple, please God, smite all those who use them wrongly.

    I'm sure it'll still look very nice, it's the same one they use on the 360 demo pods, and that television is beautiful.

    Speaking of demo pods, has anyone encountered frequent instances of them not being turned on in game shops? Both my local shops keep them turned off now, I found the same happened with the old Xbox when they were on display.

    What might be the reason for this?

    I broke a toe running into a pipe while playing "Minotaur" in the locker rooms in the dark. I never did do anything about it, other than have a couple of days off school since I couldnt walk; I didnt actually think it was broken at the time. Now its healed a little out of line, which is evidence of the suffering that can be caused by playing stupid games like It in the dark.

    That reminds me, my toe's broken as well. Is there a club I can join?

    Thing is, we live in the government's world. They've got all the power, and we can either do what they say and live in a kind of blissful ignorance, or leave.

     

    Or we could vote on it and make the process a lot more drawn out.

     

    Or we could revolt and make a big fucking mess. Which ain't good.

     

    as they can already ship you off to quantanamo bay have you tortured and vanish without evidance inocent or not.............why would you want the dodgy fu..ers to no your every move

    What makes you so sure they're dodgy anyway?

    Why would the govt want to know what boring fuckers like us do? Really, anybody who's read or seen any future-world sci-fi stuff should know that all this is inevitable.

    Also, the Orwell stuff isn't totally on the dot. In 1984 the (I forget the govt's name) institute wanted to de-humanise every person, like, destroy even their sex drives.

     

    I'm all for ID cards, 'cause like Jord said, if you have nothing to hide, then you've got nothing to fear.
