Now, I’m a bit of a nerd and also a geek (I’m told there is a discernable difference). As such, I spend a lot of time hanging around in the corners of the internet where the spelling and grammar employed would be sufficient to make one’s eyes bleed. In these online dens of linguistic depravity, however, I am very much at home. As much as I love words and their etymology, I accept that often, slang is the de facto language, and English a very close second.
