Is the death of modern language (due to social media) a significant contributor to the eventual collapse of Western society?

Of course not you retard, it's just pop language and slang. It has existed, will exist, died and will die. Every language has this as a means to quickly shorten expressions. God you're a retard.

Social media has nothing to do with this.

But OP, this is a sign of a living language. There's no hashtag in Latin. Even forced memes like "coomer" and "based" are a sign of a powerful and expressive language that's worth trying to co-opt.

Whinging about a changing language is nothing new. Look at the origins of the word "lengthy".

No. It's actually a good thing because it allows you immediately recognize clowns that aren't worth speaking to. People who want to have serious discussions still use clean and concise language.

Is it really degrading though? Doesn't the simple fact that these words and phrases are being used point to their being valuable? Similar to how bacteria and parasites might annoy you, but they fulfill their evolutionary objective by their continued existence.
