train our lives rushing at breakneck speed, without ceasing to grow.The endless expanse of information, an attempt to do a hundred things at once, and, as a consequence, the constant lack of time forced us to accelerate and accelerate.Today's hard for people to imagine the lives of the slow pace of past centuries.Take for comparing at least the letter - our ancestors slowly withdrawn pen their messages, send them by mail so yamschitsky taken weeks or even months to wait for a response.Trains, planes, telephone, telegraph - quickly flew to these milestones current post, and now we can not only correspond with online, but also to hear and even see the person, wherever he may be.
Accordingly, all life, and changing our speech: both written and oral.To write a very illustrative example of the use of smileys.Previously, to describe your mood, it was required to find appropriate words to present them so that the interviewee understood our feelings and imbued them.Now simply select the appropriate a face (although here, too, managed to come from the evolution of its small typed characters to the computer :-) blanks.And the desire for reductions allows smiley replace only one bracket-smile).Another example of the use of the figure on the letter can be heart."I ♥ Moscow" - is a symbol replaces the word "love."
Even funnier is the case with the reductions in the speech.For example, you see, not knowing guess what the OMG?Probably not, even if suggest that it is an acronym (word formed from the initial letters or syllables of the phrase - the United States, university, farm, hospital, etc.).And in the English-Russian dictionary I can hardly find what OMG.Although this is the English expression.In fact OMG - an abbreviation of the English language is very common expression «Oh my God!» (Russian equivalent - "My God!).This phrase is used in the same way as in the Russian language for the rapid expression of emotions as a reaction to something seen, heard.
Usually such reductions occur among young people, especially often - among active Internet users.But in this case authorship belongs to the British general Lord John Fisher, who used the phrase in a letter to Winston Churchill in 1917.Fisher used the expression of the OMG exclamation which asked the Lord to send down the Admiralty awarded order of chivalry.And in brackets it was immediately given the abbreviation OMG transcript.Curiously, popularized this expression became almost a 100 years.And since 2011, the reduction was added to the Oxford English Dictionary with an explanation that is OMG.
Any language - is, first and foremost, a means of communication between people.Since the live chat was often supplanted virtual, and the development of language Internet has a tremendous impact.The phenomenon of reduction of words does not belong to any one language culture, it, like the World Wide Web, everywhere.For example, the English tks (from «thanks») is similar to Russian Union of Right Forces (from the "thank you").Still, despite the global differences, people of different nations so similar to each other.OMG!(what OMG - See above.)
