Very quickly (and appropriately quickly) I wanted to throw out a thought for today in response to a "decade" comment on this blog: How has grammer or spelling changed in the 2000s?
In this very obviously social networking decade, as we continue to develop our "twittering," "friending" and "txting" skills...are we at the same time losing a sense of culture? More specifically is our loss of words now inhibiting us from the depth and color that words evoke?
Or, are we simply moving into an age where rhetorical analysis of society (art, lanaguage, politics, music, etc) will involve the reading in not the coding of the meaning of words but the actual code that represents a word?
You be the judge:
