As someone who practically grew up learning English from meme pages and YouTube comments, here’s my take:
RIP Capitalization & Punctuation: Grammar rules are officially on vacation. Punctuation now carries emotional damage—ending a text with a period (.) makes you look angry, not grammatically correct.
Slang at Warp Speed: Words like ghosting, slay, and rizz spread globally overnight. By the time my textbook explains a slang word, the internet has already moved on to three new ones.
Abbreviations Everywhere: Why type full sentences when tbh, ngl, and fr do the trick? My brain is basically running on low-bandwidth shorthand now.
Global English Hybrid: Thanks to platforms like TikTok and Reddit, we're all speaking a weird, glorious mix of American slang, British banter, and internet-native jargon.
Basically, the internet took English into a blender, added memes, and pushed "blend on high." And honestly? I’m kind of here for it!
