    Support or Against the evolution of the English language.

    Evolution=Slang

    Should words like "wanna" "homied" "od" "wawling" be official since society supported them and society is what makes langauge?

    I'll play devil's advocate:

    By introducing slang into English you would be killing the language. Everything needs rules or chaos will reign.

    We should adopt them because they're used everyday and understood amongst everybody. Words that are only used in certain trades or regions, however, should not be considered official words.
