language and the internet

[Nightwind]

My paper topic is how the internet affects language and how language affects the internet. I'm sitting on an 8-page rough draft that I'm polishing to a final draft due on Monday.

intersting.

would you belive that I did a report my senior year on the internet and the efects that cross cultural influances have had on comuninity/fammilly relations?
be warned that most of the information on the internet, is outon the internet, and thus suspect, though highly intersting. Be prepared to back things up with more then the normal amount of sources. I made sure that any given refrance had atleast two points of backing behind it, and that I had multiples before I tried to make a point from it...

I'll be glad to read it...

but you might want to concider that the intenet only increaced the rate of the spread of english....
have you listened to j-pop lately? One in 5 lines contains english. Have you read a transcript of a buisnessmeating... anywhere? In germany you would be able to spot the buzzwords, they are cognates.... I would argue that it's an example of the pervasiviness of american culture (and why... well, being lazy has it's apeal), and the net accelerated it, rather then started it.
