webspeak: the death of language?

Shakespeare made up how he wrote, at the time language wasnt standardized

If you look at other writers at the time noone wrote like that.

 

It disn't have to be standardized - people wrote and spoke how they liked.

 

Maybe we're regressing to a similar way where standards are revoked and although they still remain maybe they'll be ignored.

I once received that e-mail in portuguese. It was very redeable in my language.

 

However, in english it's rubbish to me (even though I've been reading and understanding it for such a long time). Weird, huh?
