I am a professor, the old has nothing to do with what is current. Words and accepted usage of them changes annually. Kinda like you don't have to use capital letters at the beginning of a sentence in today's usage type of shit. It happens. There is no such thing as "proper English", that is my point. It changes and evolves constantly. You don't want to get me started on Ebonics or something else do u? I am not currently scheduled for any lectures and don't want to be at this tyme.![]()
Honestly I think it's debatable. I mean you're not wrong but I think there are some professors whom would argue that the old English is English in it's most proper form. Heck, people that speak in a lot of mid-evil based shows sound so civilized compared to a lot of people that speak this new form of "English". "WTF U derp nub, LOL". As an English professor you should feel the duty fuelled obligation to smack the hell out of people that talk like that(especially when they speak the acronyms out loud >,<).
