The quote is just "see you, space cowboy". They don't say "in". Too late now, but at least you know for future reference

Every conversation online starts at the top of that hill and picks up speed until crashing at the bottom.

The US is only overpopulated by corn. People? Not so much. You could drive across the country and see nothing but corn for days, but never see a single human.

The only good Android phone is a dead Android phone....

J/k. I just wanted to say something ominous.

Only 26 football fields high, eh? I guess I won't worry about it, then.

Portia Doubleday ruins the last season by quitting the show instead of being a professional, but aside from that this show is a masterpiece.

Orthogonal is an English word. It has a Greek root. This is because English can absorb words from any language it wants. This absorption quality is what makes English the most powerful language on earth.

It's more precise than any language, programming or otherwise, because of this absorption quality. It can also absorb language rules. Which you seem to think is a flaw, when in fact is it's greatest strength. And modifiers? It's richness is infinite! Literally any word can become a modifier in English, even made up ones.

You seem to be dead set against it, though, so I won't try to change your mind any further. Give that documentary of look and see if it doesn't sway you a bit, or read the book If you prefer.

It's all a part of the global domination agenda. Here's Orwell's description of it:

> By 2050—earlier, probably—all real knowledge of Oldspeak will have disappeared. The whole literature of the past will have been destroyed. Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Byron—they'll exist only in Newspeak versions, not merely changed into something different, but actually contradictory of what they used to be. Even the literature of The Party will change. Even the slogans will change. How could you have a slogan like Freedom is Slavery when the concept of freedom has been abolished? The whole climate of thought will be different. In fact, there will be no thought, as we understand it now. Orthodoxy means not thinking—not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.[1]

The presumptive owners of the enslaved human race think they can use AI to degrade language. It certainly can be used to degrade language, rather than simply function as a useful search tool.

Anyone who says that reducing the amount of text used to express ideas is a good thing, is a puppet for the Newspeak agenda, and the interesting thing is that, if you look at the Wikipedia page about Newspeak, Orwell was of the opinion that ENGLISH is itself a language that is prone towards this ever shrinking mental space.

I'm very inclined to agree.

All the english before the 20th century was like a more fluid form of German. They eliminated cases, they eliminated many words, and the americans made many acronyms and combined words, not so unlike the newspeak Ingsoc, this trend is very prevalent in internet words.

As a computer programmer, I can tell you that the more inflexible the human language, the harder it is to find accurate names for the concepts encapsulated in an algorithm. I personally find myself wanting to make use of words from Bulgarian, Serbian, German and Dutch because of the paucity of meaning in English. And actually, Bulgarian has been dumbed down a lot too, but its grammar is probably the closest to english in terms of the lack of cases and the number of common prepositions.

American English *added* so much to the language, it's daunting. To say that English is inflexible shows that you've done absolutely zero research in studying English. The English language is amazingly flexible, more so than any other language in history, and it's growing everyday.

Don't worry about the kids. They might sound stupid now, but the very best of their slang will be absorbed by English, just like it's done for every generation previous, and it will emerge an even larger language still.

"The story of English" is a great little academic book on the subject and here is a great documentary based on the book, if you'd like to learn more:

Don't feel bad. Canadians are actually really great.

Hiroshima, bring your fat man and your little boy for a face melting good time.

Hiroshima, it's the bomb dot com.

Hiroshima, for your next vacation, choose the nuclear option.

It's amazing to me that I learned about pretty good privacy when I saw a news report about the government going after the creator, as I sat in my PJs, eating ice cream in my mom's living room.

Now my own children are almost adults, and pretty good privacy is still the gold standard.
