Changes in the language

Over the decades English has significantly changed, and many changes occurred due to the influence of social media. Right now we will analyze the changes step by step to see what exactly is not the same and why it happened in the first place.

1. Local variants of English.

Have you heard of Spanglish, Chinglish, Hinglish and so on? These unconventional English variants appear because many people struggle to speak English nowadays, no matter how distant they are from the classical language variant (by the way, here is how everyone can practice grammar on their own: http://royalediting.com/useful-tips-how-to-practice-grammar-all-by-yourself). Social media support this tendency because such sites provide people with a place where citizens from different countries can communicate regardless of language barriers.Although these forms of English appeared offline, in areas with multicultural society, they are widely used on the Internet specifically, which contributes to their spread and popularity. We do not find this tendency good because English is a separate, self-sufficient language, which does not have to blend with other languages in order to be suitable for someone. Nevertheless, we are powerless in this case; those who want to use Spanglish or Hinglish will use it after all.
