[@The1stImmortal]

You seem to have a couple of typographical errors in your graphics, or are they for some reason intentional? ("Decaffeinated", "independent", "information" and "refrigerator" are the ones I noticed. Also for "snap" you seemed to say "snapSHOT", which makes the most sense in your example, but your graphic says "snapCHAT".)

[@felipepinheiro82]

Wow, how many abbreviations.

[@madmaster8304]

so many abbreviations

[@shaungordon9737]

There's a lot more than this

[@shortii5717]

Aircon..? AC?

[@madmaster8304]

machine that makes cold air thingy muh-bo

[@adhikarikabi09]

this convince me that any languages wouldn't stand as it is.Australian English would be tough in future for someone who speaks British English and vice versa: perhaps different lanaguage(rightly scientist predicted).

[@shaungordon9737]

Most of these are used in other English-speaking countries too. With mass media, we have constant contact with Americans, British etc

[@rungxanh2901]

Well that “inform(a)tion” put me off a bit

[@hermaniosilva93]
