I remember being a child and watching grown-up programming on the tee vee. I remember being lost because of the sophistication of the words. I could hardly make out where one big word would end and the next one would begin. I instinctively felt inferior, and I felt the urge to try and understand, because I could tell what was being said was important and serious, and to be a part of that world I would have to step up my game.
Now? I find myself, again, hardly able to make out where one garbled word ends and the next one begins when I listen to inner city minorities. But now I don’t feel inferior, because I know there is nothing of great sophistication, seriousness or importance being said. That is the difference in our evolution of language. We are devolving into Idiocracy, courtesy of the left, who rewards idiocy with trophies, affirmative action, and monetary subsidies.
You can mumble and think like an idiot and you don’t have to live under a bridge. In fact, you can go to college and get a good grade point average as you mumble and think like an idiot.
Thanks Lefties!!!
The Queen’s English as spoken in the UK is under attack by immigrants, computers, American television, and youths. Or should we say yoofs? In a report published Thursday, linguistic experts at the University of York predict major changes in Brits’ pronunciation of the English language by 2066, the Sun reports. According to the Telegraph, those changes include the complete disappearance of the voiced dental nonsibliant (Non-SIBILANT. I guess Newser never saw Tom Hanks doing this Wayne’s World Sketch —BFH) fricative, also known as the “th” sound. It will be replaced with the “f,” “d,” and “v” sounds, so “thick” becomes “fick” and “mother” becomes “muvver.” Other changes include words like “cute” and “beauty” becoming “coot” and “booty,” the “w” and “r” sounds becoming indistinguishable, and the dropping of “l” sounds at the end of words.
Researchers studied 50 years of language recordings and current social media to make their predictions… Researchers believe the changes will be spurred on by immigrants, who have a hard time pronouncing the “th” sound.
!snip!
I can hear it now – “Def to America, muvverfukka.”
I’ll have to check with the pronoun committee before I can tell you what I’ve been told to think.
Researchers are making excuses for idiot behavior. F’em.
The ones who are raping the language are the same ones who refuse to assimilate. Deport them all.
Espanol por favor. No entiendo Igles.
I feel that same way trying to decipher a thread at 4Chan.
Feels bad man.
Idiocracy was off by several centuries.
It’s almost here. Maybe 5-10 years from now you get a sex show at H&R Block while your taxes are being done.
To try to understand… not try and understand…

So,let’s see if I have got this. By 2066 Modern English will be changed almost beyond recognition. Considering 1066,or the Norman conquest or the battle of Hastings,if you prefer,is looked on as the start of modern English that means we have had a run of one thousand years not bad,but I for one will refuse to yield to the tide of barbarism. I stand at the bridge and proclaim”THEY SHALL NOT PASS”!
Ye Shall Not Pass!
Ah, hell.
Filthy, fatherless, feral, theophobic, thickheaded, thought-free imbeciles.
I’ll frustrate him even if I am to hang for it!
Oh well. I can’t understand the English when they talk anyway. They haz a weird language.
Well that’s gay
Communists changed their name to progressives but they are still commie bastards.
Well of course language evolves. New words are constantly be being added.
For instance:
libstain
progtard
musloid
crunt
chimpout
Cankles
shitpickle
and so on…
P.S. Ebonics is not a language, nor are ghetto or jive. They are speech impediments.
And rap isn’t music.
