Is 4chan changing the English language? Consider the suffixes

>>9608677
1. Language is always in flux
2. You give 4chan too much credit, step away from le screen

It's just internet jargon.

>>9608700
>Ey, man, it's just castilian jargon, we still speakin' Latin

>>9608677
These are only used on 4chan though. It's more of a new jargon than a change of the whole language.

>>9608677
>Punctuation it has developed:
>>
This has been used by e-mail clients way before the chan even existed. Also I don't think kino is a suffix.

>>9608677
so you're saying the word piglet didn't exist until 4chan introduced -let as a suffic?

Duh, every website that has its own culture or slang to some degree changes language to some extent. You can tell by the way people text what site they spend the most time on. You can literally always tell if someone's had a Tumblr for over five years and if they migrated their from LiveJournal. You can tell if someone used to like Homestuck. And if English isn't their first language, you can usually tell what sort of media helped them learn it.
What kind of people you surround yourself with will influence the way you speak. That's like, the most basic principle of language dude. That it changes.
I use ">" as a bullet point in handwritten text all the time, I use HTML tags to signify italics, and I'm actually actively avoiding writing a story that takes place in this century because I know I wouldn't be able to stop myself from referencing the internet on every other page in some way or another.
Scholars thousands of years from now will attribute certain changes in colloquial language to specific websites. Historians will come across documents about actual, serious politicians calling each other cucks. There's nothing we can do about that.

That aside, your examples suck OP

>>9608677
Not only that, it's changing the world. /pol/ effectively memed the current POTUS in office.

>>9608767
Stagnating wages and HRC neglecting the Midwest did that, not frogposts

>>9608777
You must be fun at parties.

Kek is from world of warcraft

>>9608677 (OP)
What the fuck does t. means?

>>9608841
t. New friend

>>9608841
t. Brainlet

>>9608841
abbreviation for 'regards' in finnish, like spurdo, it's one of those memes that came from their local imageboard clone

>>9608848
How can a FINNISH imageboard be so influential?

>>9608765
>I use HTML tags to signify italics
So, how's autism working out for you, anon?

>>9608910
Pretty sure there was a Finnish shitposter on /int/ and people started copying him.

>>9608957
Finn's are the Japs of Europe, I imagine they would elect Mako president just for his weird vhs player collection and mental haircut

>>9608677
Those suffixes are chan only lingo and the words "wew" and "trap" are older than my mother.
Also this:
>>9608720

>>9608957
Incorrect. Finnish shitposters on krautchan popularized it there. It was then imported to 4chan by american kc users.

>>9608677
No.

-fag
>same as -shit, -fuck, and -cock
>oh, and -tits
>been around since at least the 70's

-kino
>only ever seen/heard it used by pickup-fags and a lottery company

-let
>came from piglet

t.
>slang that rises back up every few centuries meaning something different

kek
>granted

wew
>people have been misspelling "whew" for a while, I did as a child after hearing a scottish comedian say "Whew, laddie."

trap
>no

Using ">" for spacing text was either a french thing or a military thing years ago, and it was also a common thing in emails in the 90's. Granted, as punctuation/for a specific purpose, 4chan has certainly popularized it.

You're forgetting the arguably most important one, you cuck

An another slang doesn't change a language, don't be an idiot. Nobody uses those words outside the imageboards.

>>9610120
That word was invented in the 13th century.

>>9609522
this

t. kacey poster

>>9608677
>4chan invented -let
Found the ESL.

>>9608677
I still don't know what the " t. " part stands for. I just know it means "brought to you by"

only retards say these things

>>9608677
If you can create words/slangs and make them get assimilated in a natural non forced flow you too can feel powerful.

I do it at work by taking a common mistake one person does and using their name + ism so everyone knows what i am talking about, ended up creating a non-official cult where i was on top simply because i was labeling shit first.

>>9608677
There is also a variety of bum themed insults.
butt
ass
booty
+
mad
ravaged
blasted
pained
hurt

>>9608765
>I use HTML tags to signify italics
what the fuck

>>9610099
>-let
>>came from piglet
what did he mean by this?
https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/-let

>>9608677
I haven't heard any of those used outside of 4chan. Every community has its own lingo, but yes, 4chan does have some interesting ones.

>>9611238
I think you mean: what the <i>fuck</i>

>>9608747
what about omlet?

>>9611363
It's funny because "om" sounds like "homme", the French word for "man"

An omlet is literally a manlet.

>>9611253
Kino is what we call the cinema in Croatia, and probably other slav countries. It's been here for like 100 years, what kind of ignorant bullshit are you spewing. I'm going to the cinema to watch the new Dolan movie = Idem u kino gledati novi Dolanov film.

>>9608841
i always thought it stands for "tovarisch" to give something this kul marxist edge

-kino is a suffix?

>>9611788
Capekino, animekino, etc.

What does kino mean?

>>9610496
terveisin, i.e. regards

>>9608747
It introduced it as being able to assign it to anything that constitutes an insult.

>>9608677
Of course, 4chan has had a strong influence on internet mainstream language (actually the base meme culture is pretty much entirely from 4chan) and through that, real world language.

>>9611739
the French have been using that one as a joke for centuries: "t'es un homme ou une omellette?" = are you a man or an omelette/manlet?

People that use those in any context outside of the internet are cringey fuckheads.
