Nowadays most of those who surf the net uses English as a vehiclar language: English is the medium wich allows everybody to keep in touch, exchange information or files and interaction.

 

Of course, web English is totally different from the pleasant sounding English of BBC since it carries with it all the different contributions of the different languages surfer speak.

 

This situation seems to transform the semantical rich code of Great Britain and reduces it to a very poor vocabulary most of the times, not of easy to English speakers themselves.

 

The English language's transformation is caused by the necessity of learning quickly the language to communicate with people who speak different languages. This originates new “global” slangs that come from English but that exchange the meaning and the pronunciation of some words.

 

The main examples of global English (“Globish”) are: “Singlish”,English from singapore, “Konglish”, Korean English, “Indlish”, Indian English, and “Spanglish”, Spanish English.

 

In my opinion this is a negative effect of technology, because it develops a wrong English.
