The world already has ebonics
now it gets IMonics (I-monics, im-onics)- the corruption of the english language by
text, instant message, forums, comments, personal web
space, etc.
IMonics has multiple forms but is typically used to shorten communication and reduce characters required
- use of numbers for
words or letters
- use of phonetic spellings
- use of generally known acronyms
- removal of letters from
words
IMonics is not just characterized by this behaviour in specific forums but its continued use in other written communication outside of
internet and text impacting overall spelling, grammar, etc.
Future generations will not see this as corruption but simply the evolution of the language with technology
