lol language is a sandbox. if you're offended by dialects and meme-talk you're a pedantic autist.
why aren't you taking advantage of the anarchy of language to make up words? why aren't you being an active participant?

All the same, I really think English should adopt chinese characters. It's very efficient and elegant and abstract characters work well with analytic languages.

Not really. Reading phonetic Chinese is a nightmare, like reading phonetic ebonics-speak only turned up to 11. Chinese characters make it easier to learn Chinese, not harder.

> Phonetic alphabets are cooler, more logical and right.
Yeah, no. Try making sense of the e.g. Thai alphabet and come back to me.

Nothing but a mere spook, my friend.
>why aren't you taking advantage of the anarchy of language to make up words?
But I am, I have created around 50 completely new words in my mother tongue and another 200 new/derived words from some other ones.
>why aren't you being an active participant?
I believe I am one of the last few masters of this fine art in this small region where my mother tongue is spoken. My clique and I are the anathema of all plebs who use anglisms and americanisms like the pathetic peasants that they are. Meanwhile we strive to expand the evergrowing horizon of our linguistic bodies.

The power of a language may be measured by its practical use of metaphor. If a language expands its domain of metaphor, it may be said to be superior to one that contracts, assuming those languages began equivalently.

Sure, but it's not the same as developing normative views on language for aesthetic, cultural, or political reasons. Among the biggest problems of language is the widespread belief that linguists should be its final authority.
