Marilyn Melo: She's a dime.

Have... HAVE! Why do so many people make this basic mistake?

Could've = contraction of Could HAVE. Where are people getting "of" from?

I hear you dog. I see this so often, and not just here. could have; must have; should have.... the contraction sounds like could of... but it's definitely not. but, in the grand scheme of things it's only a mister meaner

I learned a long time ago that email and other electronic messages are not suppose to be grammatically correct. And because of this the language has evolve. "You could of" is well understood. American English itself is not grammatically correct. It's dialect of true English. I suppose you think the Jamaicans are fucking up the English language as well?

4 Ways the Internet Has Changed the English Language

1. We’ve added thousands of words of new vocabulary
Looking at early internet vocabulary provides a fascinating insight into how quickly new words can be picked up and then abandoned. Many of these terms that sprung up and then disappeared less than ten years later have simply become outdated.

2. We’re getting to grips with dialects we otherwise wouldn’t have encountered
We’ve written before about how much the English language is changing, and one of the key drivers of that change is the number of people who speak English as a second, third or even fourth language. English has about 400 million native speakers, but vastly more non-native speakers – perhaps as many as two billion, depending on how loosely you want to define being an English speaker.

3. We’re creating brand-new dialects for online communities
For people who are not routinely on Tumblr, having a quick browse of it can be profoundly confusing. Of all online communities, Tumblr is possibly the one that has gone furthest towards having its own dialect that is incomprehensible to outsiders. There are even online guides into “how to speak Tumblr”. Here’s a Tumblr paragraph:


I CANT EVEN what is this life ruiner. having ALL THE FEELS akdfhakdghoghsgds what is air

4. We’re learning new grammar rather than losing our ability to speak English
How do cats and dogs speak? If you ask a toddler, you’ll probably get a conventional answer along the lines of “cats go miaow, dogs go woof” or something similar. If, however, you ask an internet user, you’ll naturally know that cats (or at least lolcatz) are “in ur article and speakz lyk dis”. And you’ll know that dogs (or at least doge), as we’ve discussed before, speak “much words, very English, so article. Wow.”

This is a prime example of what's wrong with our society today. We explain away all of our failures instead of correcting them. We change definitions to words that define us. We rename physical conditions that we can't overcome. We make sure everyone gets a trophy.
Except minorities, lol.....

(sorry, couldn't help myself) :D

This is exactly how we have so many languages. It's nothing new.

With all due respect, it's not the same thing. In fact, I think you and I were addressing different points of a multifaceted argument.
Languages do evolve.(typically over much longer periods of time) Number four in the article, however, isn't true. A language changed is a language lost. This is why conquered races are always forced to sacrifice their original tongues and gods.
