It's very interesting to see how English is evolving with Internet. Speling and grammar in English only became standardized with the advent of the printing press, however, people nowadays are beginning to diverge from the norm.

There needs to be more people interested in dialectology especially concerning the prevelant written dialects online. I believe that, with the internet, a lot more people are writing in their own dialects and all linguists would probably agree that when a language (or dialect) becomes a written one, norms can form (which could lead to standardisation, which I am thorougly against :P) and the language can develop into its own. Being from Ireland, having to type in a standard way is somewhat frustating but the internet allows me to communicate in my dialect in ways that just weren't possible before. So I'm really excited about this study and hope more are conducted in the future.
