i think this word "meko" will be right up there on this list of irritating words in a few years.

Haha..look at you two gripe about further corruption of a pidgin language. Lest we forget, Hindi / khadiboli/ Hindustani, was itself a corrupt pidgin born of the unholy liaison between Prakrit / Ardha-Magadhi etc with the invaders' Persian, Arabic and Turkish tongues.

And no matter how much that pidgin is Sanskritized, its pidgin roots will never go away. In the nature of all pidgins, it will absorb newer words from other languages. Accept it as a fact of life. Resistance is futile. All your bases are belong to us.

Bittu wrote:"i try to luk for you dis tym..." is how a 45 yr old aunty writes to me in online chats. She's MA English, speaks well, writes well outside chat rooms AND is an English teacher for many years now.

What possesses her to write like this in chat rooms?

Why doesn't she write "4 u" instead of "for you" but mauls "time" to "tym"?

What the fuck is wrong with this aunty?
