How the Internet Is Changing Language

Ant writes "BBC News reports on how the internet is changing language. What was once understandable only to the tech savvy has become common. From the article: 'To Google' has become a universally understood verb and many countries are developing their own Internet slang. But is the Web changing language and is everyone up to speed?'"

Re:Except it wasn't that clear

One way or the other that thing was _still_ defiled, and still meant to be a sort of an offensive "look at the kind of crap you'll eat when conquered by gentiles" horror story. It was just less so than with human shit.

Which is still only relevant if you're a Jew, because one of Jesus' messages was that dietary restrictions were stupid and besides the point and had nothing to do with God. Again, Christianity is supposed to make that kind of shit all but irrelevant. The entire Old Testament is just one big historical footnote to a Christian who understands Christianity (a vanishingly small percentage.) If you're all wrapped up in the Old Testament you might as well be a Jew for Jesus (although the Jews won't let you be a Jew if your mom isn't one, so I guess they forced that particular schism.)
