  • My feeling about the future

    well its a funny thing since we got to the moon, we are going backwards we still have not got any faster than light and there's the problem.
    Also the degradation of English, a t is now pronounced as a d as in wader bodle, podery, baderie.
    A th is now an f as in fousands.
    and shortened words such as defo, merch.
    Its a shame we can no longer speak properly.
