A long time ago, I’ve written a post on another blog about the language that is associated to the virtual world. It’s interesting how retarded kids nowadays say “lol” instead of laughing for real. And somehow I don’t believe it’s a fad, I can bet my left ball that when they reach 40, they will still be “lolling” around like the little facebook tools they are.
Our language is in danger. I think they are two sides (like usual) : those who care and fight to preserve the integrity of the English (or any country) language and those who believe that we’re converging into one unique universal hippie bs language. Oh and there are those who don’t give a shit but nevermind these spineless monkeys, no one wants to know what they think.
I obviously belong to the first category (oh really…) because sure, you can “lol” as much as you want, but if you don’t know how to spell “necessary” or “institutional” then don’t. I don’t believe in this “we are the world” scam, I think we’re simply not made to live closely together as we’re way too dumb to stand each other. Sure, one language for all of us could resolve a lot of things such as no more multi-language DVDs or finally being able to order food in China without having to eat goat testicles.
But let’s face it. One language… as hippie as it sounds, it’s probably the dullest and most boring thing that can happen. Culture and civilizations are what they are mainly because of the way we communicate. Not being able to understand someone is for sure frustrating but also adventurous. Those globalization tree huggers twat facebook monkeys can definitely kiss my ass and swallow a stone.
On a side note, this strip comes from the website 30jours de BD where I post once a month… in French.
“or finally being able to order food in China without having to eat goat testicles”
mais….
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Parfois je me dis que tu n’es vraiment pas comme tout le monde O_O
Concernant ton strip : très drôle!
La problématique que tu soulèves l’est beaucoup moins. Il ne s’agit même plus de simples fautes d’orthographe!
Je suis d’avis que les langues doivent évoluer avec la société. Je ne trouve pas choquant que beaucoup de mots “étrangers” se soient immiscés dans la langue française par exemple.
Mais une langue doit tout de même rester une langue, avec des verbes, des sujets et compléments, des conjugaisons et des règles d’accord.
Il parait que la langue permet de structurer la pensée…ça promet!
If I may correct you, having one language for all is not a hippie idea, it is pure totalitarism. (remember the book 1984, where the government instored a language called “novlangue” (int the french translation) in order to make sure that ideas and thought can be uniformized according to the regime.)
Some ideas can simply not be translated in another language, and fighting to preserve cultural diversity is essential.
And honestly, I never resisted humiliating the morons who say lol in real life. (and, possibly, punching them in the face afterwards)
soph > encore heureux! ^_^
Link3r > “(and, possibly, punching them in the face afterwards)” aaaw love you my man… not in a gay way… not that there’s anything wrong with that… fuck… you know what I mean.
Yeah nice, je t’avais dit que je passerai sur ton blogue !
Et je repasserai. Cette colo atypique, ces persos aux têtes rondes, cet humour… Je… Je crois que je suis amoureux.
Lol, allez a+, vivement les prochains strips =)
Emmo > heya Emmo, merci d’être passé et pour les compliments! Content que ça te plaise.
Baaahhhh je suis d’accord (seulement parce que je me sens vielle de ne pas tout comprendre, souvent!)
Lili Bé > en fait je me rends compte qu’en prenant le temps, ce langage est assez logique et “optimisé”. Mais c’est vrais que ça ne rajeunit pas!
