It has long been a premise of mine that the Internet (and modern technology in general) has led to a decline in language. Think about l33t-speak and txt usage. It's a far cry from the standard language used just a few decades ago. This article from Least I Could Do supports this argument, as well as the decline of communication in general.
From the article:
I’ve talked before about the demise of written language, largely due to the internet. With symbols, shorthand and ‘leet speak’ so common online, I can only shudder in horror at the thought of how future generations will write to each other.
