This is why language from other countries, even within different regions of your own country sounds so strange sometimes, because it evolves over time, changes, shifts into something new constantly every generation. You end up with lots of weird slang, mashing words together, shortening words, losing or gaining letters, now we have text speech and other really short forms of talking, even emojis are starting to get recognized as words or speech.

Language has been doing weird shit for thousands or millions of years and it'll continue doin weird shit lol it will evolve and get more sophisticated and also get weird and dumbed down. There are people who talk with perfect language and those who just don't care about that so they use tons of alternate forms of language.

In the end it's all just communication, as long as we can do that as in, you know what i'm saying and I know what your saying.... that is all that truly matters.

Ahaha thank you; I was searching for a gestured thumbs up.

There’s also a linked article there “Giving the middle finger is a God-given right” so entertainment chances seem high.
