People tend to adopt and borrow phrases from other people that they're not as close to or don't see as often. There needs to be a balance of strong and weak ties for there to be a shift in the way we speak.

Strong and weak ties, weak ties introduces new slang from other groups of people that are in strong tied communities Icelandic lang hasn't changed that much even after a couple centuries English changed faster, probably due to the amount of English speakers that were in the world

Women most weren't allowed to go to school back then and was considered a witch if she knew how to write without going to school so I think it was definitely safer for them to lead a revolution in the way we speak what would the world do without women? Probably just be stuck in their stubborn ways and hot temper I use "like" way more than I should sometimes Wow, 90% The environment that ppl are in really affects the way they talk

Teen and young adult slang is a huge thing that many people focus in, like it's such a huge topic of discussion that we don't even know some older people's slang these days They should add a "time of joining sns" because it could also help them get a more catered experience where they could interract with other new users and they could help each other with slang Such simple changes in a word can change a language so much, that's amazing tbh) Hahaha women will always lead change and we love to see it

It's strange to imagine us speaking like Shakespeare, would we be where we are today if we still spoke like that? Abbreviations are the most common forms of slang cuz they take less time to type and almost everyone can figure out what they mean, even my grandma knows abbreviations and uses them more than I do This reminds me of the "Monkey see, monkey do" mindset when we see ppl using new slang, like how my irl friend picked up my texting habits from my twt habits that I saw others do The short form letter way of writing is also v common, I also feel like it could've been made that way thanks to twt's low character count

I feel like I could join the burnt-out burnouts cuz I'm figuratively burnt out thanks to quarantine. idk much about Grease tbh Them acting like they don't care about high school popularity makes them low-key seem like they do They do be smart doe and use long words Idk much about Latina/Spanish slang Slang has really spread like wildfire thanks to social media

Scottish English is sometimes impossible for me to decipher if i don't try to read it out loud It's hard for ppl to grow out of specific talking habits, that's probably why ppl were still talking the same even when the Television first came out.

"Familects" I like how that sounds, and tbh in a Desi household, it's hard to just stick with the traditional English slang, Hinglish is more commonly used in my house. I feel like cliques wore out a bit, now it's just "popular" and "not-popular" Such simple change in pronunciation can change the entire meaning of a phrase, that's pretty cool ngl

"might could", "may can" & "might should" sound so awkward ngl, yikes it sounds worse in a sentence These people collect so much info, they deserve to be appreciated more Curse words will always vary, who are we kidding? I love how old words are making a comeback, especially British ones cuz it's fun to mock the British Pronunciation of words is so annoying tbh, cuz you never know which pronunciation is actually correct, like me and mum disagree over pronunciations all the time since she pronounces things the Hindi-British way while i pronounce it the Western/American/Canadian way I've seen some of those respellings before on twt, and yeah it's now mainly known just as AAVE due to Black ppl being the main group of ppl that respelt things the way that they pronounce it

Internet best way to show how ppl talk nowadays I feel called out, I was one of those ppl that used smol and but I've been a weeb since 2017 so it cant fully apply to me heheheh >_> A lot of modern day slang was created by Black ppl and other pocs as well as ppl in the south of the US. Most slang that the younger gen is using was created by Black ppl. True, it's odd when locals respond to tweets about things they're not a part of like a fandom or something along those lines. It's just like how irl it's odd if a random person, who knows nothing about the topic being discussed, butts themselves into the convo. I use y'all but I'm not American, I wonder if I messed up their data hmmm

Language changes so much in such short distances. Pop, coke and soda, three names for fizzy drinks in one country. So many words in the world. YouTube and the internet in general=huge shift in language and slang. Still had to interview people after digital quiz Survey wasn't accurate since it was similar to test Change in questions helped survey Ppl were so focused on study, they'd bring notebooks around to "record" some speech.

I will use the "I will slap your ears with a cooking spoon, you monkey!" now. Phonetics is strange ngl, it varies per region and by what people assume and Georg Wenker proved that. Poor Edmond Edmont had to bike all around France to listen to how people pronounce stuff. I appreciate the effort though, it really showed how differently people pronounce stuff. Edmont never got a break huh? It's fascinating as too how much info they were able to get from various parts of France. So much info, ppl had to study it even after researcher's death!! such a good study that US did the same thing in the late 1900s
