Loosing Language

I would like to start by saying, yes, we should care about the vanishing languages in the world. Language is part of us, no matter who you are your language is important. It not only helps you communicate thoughts and ideas, but it also seperates you from others it makes us unique. More importantly though, what is lost when we loose a language? Well, lets think about this step by step. First off we loose the ability to communicate our thoughts and ideas, along with this we may loose the words for things only knowen to a certain language. If language is lost, then part of your culture is also lost.

I don't mean this to sound critical, but you're post was a good example of how even a globalized language such as english is being lost. Commonly misspelled words are contrbutors to the change/degradation of a language.
