Language, as a channel of interactive communication, is a dynamic system which is refreshed and updated by the everyone. "According to some estimates, 90,000 new words were added to the English language during the twentieth century, representing a 25% increase in the total number of words."(Funtrivia.com) All of the english speakers are the contributors of the language. However, the change of the language could be considered as an indicator of the direction of the social development. Nowadays, the whole world turns out to be very dynamic, versatile and multi-standards. In response to that trend, funny and cool words always gain popularity. Interestingly, most of them come from Internet. I think the interactive and flexible web technology set forth to this change to some degree. Some argue that university student can't spell right with the emergence of text message and social networking. I don't know if it's could be a issue. On one hand, it's new generation language of the new generation of people. It's young people's words. To the macro perspective, the language creates communication barriers between generations, which loses the meaning of the communication tool, the shared signs to communicate.
