  2. Some I would actually agree with.. others perhaps with slang or uneducated classes. Not to be offensive towards anyone.

    The ones I happen to agree with are those like revise.

    Why, because our English already incorporates many aspects of the French language. A single "S" between two two vowels is pronounced like a "Z".

    In fact, I'm from Louisiana and you will find it there with similar words.

  3. u put the letter z on every word so i dont think thats very intellegent. just get used to it.

  4. The orthography/spelling of the English language reflects the etymology/origin of a word, NOT its pronunciation (as in some languages).

    Any standardization of pronunciation would be counter-intuitive because of the many accents that exist in the English language.  Not everyone pronounces every word the same way.

  5. Nah....

    That would be like starting all over!!!

  6. Phonetic spelling/noobspeak is not going to replace American English.

  7. in formal circumztancez, i don't thinc zo. lol

    WAT DO YU THINC?

  8. Spellings of words don't usually change. Words are either added or discarded from languages, or they acquire new meanings. What you propose is that the words be re-written to reflect how they are pronounced. That is very unlikely.

  9. I dont think Americans are going to change their language into that. A lot of teens do it for fun or to stand out as they write and some buisnesses use words like that to name their products to make the word a whole new meaning to match their product. But for the rest of Americans, we still use those words and we know that when we see words being altered, that its just for unique-ness.

    However, I do think that Americans will definetly shorten words rather then just adding a "Z" instead of an "S". Shorten words might even be added to their own dictionary or something. One word sentences like, idk (I dont know) ttyl (Talk to you later) ily (I love you) btw (By the way) and the most popular, lol (laugh out loud) are being used everywhere, by buiness people, by adults, by teens. And they all know what they mean.

    So to sum it up, i dont think those words will become the new American language, but shorter words without the vowls are a definite possibilty.

    G2G, TTYL

    =]

  10. god, I hope not. Looks like a bunch of uneducated trash.

  11. oh wow you really are an innovative thinker.

    I don't think Americans will just randomly decide to change all of our S to Z, and just drop letters off on the end of sentences.

    Sounds lame. Do something better with your time.

  12. i dont think they will change the "s" to a "z" i think they will cange words like "are" to "r" and "you" to "u". language is becoming lazier, but more efficient
