Do you speak Techlish?


The well known paragons of spelling at The Guardian newspaper report that within 100 years, we could all be speaking a new language - Techlish - which combines English with IT terminology.

The Guardian’s source for this story is The Sun newspaper which knows a thing or two about language development for the masses.

The web site Truer Words gives an example of a sentence spoken in Techlish:
“...develops Object Oriented applications using hypertext development scripting languages such as C++, ActiveX and Java.”
