Claude,
I do not agree with you.
If young people communicate effectively among themselves, this does not necessarily mean they communicate accurately.
Their messages will be interpreted more or less correctly by others, belonging to the same subculture.. but this is not accurate communication according to my books.
Someone mentioned earlier (Chris Omaroo I think..) computer language..
I will try to repeat his remark here: Just try something like this when you are writing a program or script and see what you will end up with.
OK, computers may be dumb.. but so are the people (at least some
).
