There are three major stages of the English Language
According to historians and linguists alike
There is Old English when Beowulf defeated Grendel
And Middle English when Shakespeare birthed his sonnets
Finally, Modern English when Harry Potter spun his magic
However, I believe historians and linguists
Will say we are now in the midst of a fourth
I like to believe we are part of the history of language
But what will it be called? Tecno English or Neotext English?
IDK, but u will c um right. Just :) and $ me lates #stagesofenglish

I truly believe we have to be in another stage of English from the industrial revolution and on. Think about how many new words have been created. Yes, even text talk may be standard someday. It is a tough time to be an English teacher. :) But I love the language.
