Speak

De mortuis nil nisi bonum.

- - - - -

Language is always changing.  Slanguage is always changing, too.

For instance, a while ago I was texting with Elizabeth.

E:  Hahahahahaha I'm laughing cause you used "lol" text lingo.

Me:  Lmfao

Me:  I'm multilingual!

Me:  Nbd

Me:  Tool

(pause)

Me:  Ooops.  Spellchecked me.  I typed "yolo"

E:  Hahahaha oh gosh

It's funny how sometimes we can use the same words but still not quite speak the same language.  Fortunately some people are willing to listen across the divide.
