My favorite line so far is Kona-chan's "Maa, ne" when Tsukasa praises her gaming skills. (a.f.k.: "Pretty much." or: "Yeah, could be.")

I don't see the internet dumbing down people's English, particularly. In fact, I think people write more now, since they communicate more by text and e-mail than they used to by mail. The idiom is different, but people get more practice. But people should know how to write/speak in different idioms for different situations. l33t-speak in a normal workplace would be a problem.

I do have an instinctive desire to correct everyone's English, but I try to control it. The fact is that some of the most "wrong" things are some of the most expressive. English is the most living of languages, and the fact that so many non-native-speakers speak it means that it has to roll with the punches, which is cool. It makes the language broader. But as Risaa did, let me know if you want me to go into editor mode.
