    Default Enough with the "moar" nonsense already

    When it's used to emphasize the desire for MORE, it makes some sense, if rather silly, but I'm seeing people using 'moar' in place of 'more' commonly now, and have run across some non-native English speakers who are using 'moar' because they see everyone writing it on the forums/in chat.

    Would you say that you pwned a car, but you sold it?

    Actually yes, in my case.. Mine was totalled recently and I got a nice fat check.
    So... technically I DID pwn it. So to speak.

    Language is fluid. I'm completely anal, so i hate things like thru instead of through, color instead of colour, nite instead of night... but even I seem to be using the colloquial 'modern' e-version of written language more and moar often. Even the word 'doh' is now included in Webster's. So I gess u just have to roll w/it.

    I think we are heading towards a 1 international language shared by all mankind.... It wont be esperanto though

    The internet bringing us all closer and that I think its going to be English based but eventually just be spelt how it sounds.

    Which sometimes makes more sense with English

    Spelled how it sounds when spoken by whom?
    Currently we can all more or less understand each other, using "correct"(ish) English. Do you have any idea how many variations of pronunciation there are, even within and amongst just the English-speaking nations?
    Have you ever read the readers' letters page of a Scottish newspaper? Hae ye e'er read en ye ken?

    to be fair, 'color' is the accepted Americanized spelling of that word. colour is a more European (and Canadian, apparently) spelling.

    but as for moar? BLAME THE LOLCATS!
