    To me text speak reflects a general trend towards aggressive self-glorifying ignorance that you see all around you in Dover.

    Evolution - or degeneration - it may be, but since all civilisations eventually collapse, it could be seen as a another nail in the coffin.

    See George Orwell's '1984' section on Newspeak for an explanation of how the destruction of language takes capacity for thought with it.

    'Evolve' it a bit further and we will back to grunting.

    Ugh.

    Perhaps we need the equivalent of an Academie Francaise in this country - a body of people who treat language with the reverence it deserves, to safeguard it.
