The Death of the English Language

Alright no, the English language isn't going to just stop existing. Everywhere you go, you will likely find people speaking the language, for English is now the basis for science and business. If anything I should be writing about all the unfortunate languages that have died out because, no one really speaks them anymore. But what I'm talking about is the 'old' English language, you know the way people were speaking around a hundred years ago. Now if you've traveled around the United States, you will see a great variety of dialects, very many different words and phrases are used in different areas.

Now the problem I can forsee with this in the nearish future is that soon proper grammar and spelling won't exist, as the 'correct' way of speaking English will be different to different people. Now this isn't nessecarliy a bad thing, language, like culture, and technology changes over time. I for one am interested in seeing how this all pans out. How about you, the reader, is this at all revelant to you? How about the fact that certain words can mean entirely different things when put in context?
