I am not sure if this counts or what you're looking for, but for me it is the bastardization of the English language or any other.

Example: All these acronyms (sadly there are going to be people who have to look that up) people use in their texts and internet communications are beginning to bleed into everyday, face to face interactions.

Take "cuz", short for because. Friends of my kids actually say it that way, not cause but cuz. It makes me cringe.

I also hear people say the following, "That made me lol." I am sure some of you have experienced this yourself.

As time goes by, thanks to laziness and the dumbing down of society, 100+ years from now English won't be recognizable to what it is today.
