Our mission is to educate others on the value of Netspeak and establish it as not just a lazy way of writing, but rather an innovation in the world of language.
"Erin Jansen founded NetLingo in 1995 because she saw the internet changing how people communicated and wanted to create a database to reflect new slang, acronyms, and other jargon." We definitely support this mission! #netspeak#onlinelanguage

Netspeak isn't just confined to the internet—we can look around see it anywhere. In Ariana Grande's single #ThankUNext, she uses it to communicate a casual tone. Where else can you see netspeak in the world, and what kind of message does it send? Use the hashtag #NetspeakSearch!
"We see this general bagginess of the structure, the lack of concern with rules and the way that we're used to learning on the blackboard, and so we think that something has gone wrong." Check out this awesome tedtalk by linguist John McWhorter! https://t.co/SaB9StgUQA
So, is this a reflection of us devolving into more simplistic language, or is this actually evidence of us growing into a unified discourse system of efficient online speakers? #netspeak#DL150f18
