MI REDAKTIS: I thought putting 'not' after verbs is the proper way to do it in English? only we use the modal verb 'do' all the time, which in my opinion shouldn't be used to replace the original method, dammit I love saying "I eat not these vegetables thou speakest of"

lol actually your right, my post was one of those after midnight after a day of much school, and i totally forgot about "do".

As for our no repetition culture, it's a good thing for our oun native languages, but i think perhaps we need our international language (whatever it will be) to remain simple, so that the world can communicate easily, and whenever people get bored of that, they can switch back to their own native languages, that's just my personal opinion.

As for writing differently then you speak in RL. Well i can relate but for different reasons. I tend to over simplify my writing do to the fact, that I'm a horrible speller and spell checkers don't usually catch on to what I'm trying to say, which is a real shame especially when i have to hand write an essay on a final, but that is a different issue all together. (whoever called English a simple weak language? if that is the case, I'd hate to have to learn a hard language) /shudder in fear

Ah I do concur on the point of international language being simpler, but I'm still a fanatic of synonyms .
I think that in English (not at the moment when it's internationally important, but later) we eventually need different spelling systems for each area etc, or we should just speak differently, either one

There's already different dialects with differing spellings and pronunciations. Take for example -our and -or. British words typically end in -our: labour, colour, etc. while American words typically end in -or: labor, color, etc. Also, the differences of -er/-re, -se/-ce, -se/-ze: centre v center, defence vs defense, and analyse vs analyze. British grey vs American gray. Personally, although I am American, I prefer the British grey. It's how I always thought it was spelled. (Actually, I didn't know it was 'supposed' to be spelled "gray" until seventh grade when my ELA teacher took off a point on an essay for spelling it "grey". She never told me why she took off a spelling point and told me to look in the dictionary; it took me a few weeks/months (It was a while ago) to figure it out.) Anyways, back on track: In America we say garbage can but I guess other English countries say tin or something like that? Britain says biscuit and we call it cookie. There's also distinct vocabulary, vernacular, and "slang" terms for Australia.
One day English will be the old Latin; Britain and America and Canada and Australia will all speak different languages. The evolution of languages isn't drastically slowed by modernization, standardization, and globalization; but regional divergence is, so it might be a while before we can't understand Brits. **Standardization does somewhat slow evolution of languages, but not as much as some people believe. The prevalence of "get" in place of traditional verbs is becoming clearer every year.
