I disagree that we are going backwards linguistically, I think that the progression is ever foward, as more people adapt the English they speak it only signifies progress of English, as that is what the language is. English is a bastard language, which evolved continuously like Swahili as it comes in contact with other languages. We adapt the grammar, syntax, intonation an pronunciation of other speakers continually to understand and enjoy each other. We are progressing, not digressing, and making our language exceedingly more interesting in the process, but that is also just, my opinion.
