Language changes and evolves. There are Victorians I am sure who'd think a bunch of us (particularly those who use USian English) to have utterly bastardized the language; if y'know they were sentient zombies (being all dead).
Fannish speak and net speak (which now has sub dialects apparently; twitter speak, Tumblr speak etc...) are in a way branches off English (and the other mother tongues of various fans with their own idiosyncrasies). And has whomever is complaining not noticed that 'feels' and similar are also part of a VISUAL language?
I had no idea at all that there was a 'Speak The Queen's English' going on about feels, or 'I can't' or 'THIS' said in all caps that means so much more than in general use of a thing as in this or that.
But then again... my religion is Batman. WTH do I know.
