Maybe we should blame (i) instant messages/gratification/etc.

I dread for the day when we start solely writing with abbreviations and emojis. 😬 I do use both, sometimes, but usually try to avoid them because of several reasons, for instance if I make a joke, I usually don't want to add a smiley or an emoji because I think that if the person reading it doesn't understand that I was joking, I'm either terrible in it, sarcasm or irony, or the persons brainwaves aren't tuned the same way as mine and in both cases, my opinion is that adding a smiley is futile because it makes the dry humor not so dry anymore but obvious and that's not what I meant and if someone doesn't get it, it doesn't matter. And of course I also avoid using too much emojis because I dread for the possible other meaning they might have. And if you don't know the person sending you emojis and some might have several meanings, wouldn't it be horrible if I just answered to you: 😕🦅🥘🏵GHKL🤡🏩😌🤑SFI☢️🤹‍♂😎GJI

I have no idea what I just said. I can only hope I didn't say anything bad.

But. Are we going to that direction? Because that would be horrible.

Let us hope that the poets and writers will keep languages rich and diverse!

Let's hope so. But, as we spoke before, languages are also evolving, not just vanishing. For instance it's really weird to hear sometimes some teenagers and young adults speak English words and hear them conjugate the words like Finnish words. And speak the words like a Finnish speaker. In gaming it's really common.
Run here = Juokse tänne --> Runnaa tänne.
So perhaps at some point Finnish will be just one of the many English dialects in the world.
