I have noticed the way people write on Yahoo answers and other websites and it seems that the English langauge is changing. I asked a similar question but it seemed offensive to most so now I am just trying to be objective.
Will we lose words like with and will they become spelled as wid.
Will typing out complete sentences no longer be used in books, documents and other literary forms?
What will this do to our culture? Are we evolving or becoming illiterate?
Also, are schools no longer teaching English Comp?

What does "snip" between two paragraphs mean? I'm Japanese, and English isn't my native language. Thanks in advance.

Last year, I faced a challenge that was hard to overcome. My family decided to move and that meant I had to leave all my friends and go to a new school. I hated the idea of moving and did everything I can to persuade my parents to stay. But later, I realized I can't be selfish and had to do what is best for the family. Everyone was sad to see us leave and I knew I was going to miss my home very much.
Even today, I still think what would have happened if I stayed. My life would have been different but I'm still happy with how it is right now. I think it is hard for many people my age to face a big change like me in their life. I know it is hard, but sometimes you just have to move on and make the better of what you already have.


thanks!
and i'll give the 10 points to the first person that answers it.

I was reading the biography of Alpha Blondie, who now some people are calling "The New Bob Marley" and it says he sings in English, French, Mandinque Dioula & Patois
Can someone tell me where I can get information about these 3 languages and if you can call them that or dialects?
I know He's from The Ivory Coast but my friends said He sang in Hebrew.
The Hebrew part sounds right since his records names such as "Shalom, Rabin, and masada"
I love his music and would like to know more about it.


Thank You

It seems to me the correct phrase would be. Lo escríba, por favor. It appears that lo should precede escríba because
escríba is not an imperitive, not a participle and is not an
infinitive. I am probably wrong but would like to know why.
Thanks.
