People don't punctuate, or spell correctly, or complete a sentence. Is this because we're getting lazy? Or because our lifestyles have become so fast we don't have time? Or maybe because the melting pot of many different cultures has influenced the language? Is it technology? Or is it that the language is too complicated and we're becoming less educated? Your thoughts on the matter would be very appreciated!! I'm seriously curious. And any links to publishings on the matter would rock my socks off too!

Languages evolve....
They have ever since their invention.
Look at French, Spanish, English, German, Italian, Portuguese, etc... They all have common ancestors, like Latin and Greek.
Why did the common ancestors die out? Because they couldn't keep up with the times.
Someday, in a thousand years or so, the English language will only be remembered as a predecessor to another language.
Neither language will be less complex, for every language must be able to express the thoughts of the human mind.
The languages of the future will just be more convenient, not less effective.

Because it's you right as an American to butcher the English language.

I'd have to say I blame the text revolution! Kids seem to talk in text speak and never write anything out properly now, and teachers allow them to do so! Crazy.
