Teach, Learn, Share

I studied Linguistics, so I can tell you why delete all those sounds when you speak with friends, like why you keep like inserting all those like bothersome "crutch" words, why the languages you speak are changing and why people who think that a certain language is deteriorating are really just worried about their own social standing :)
