Cats Can Has Grammar
Anil Dash writes about the Pidgin English of lolcats.

I was also amused by the side issue raised in this bit:

Unfortunately, the evolution of these grammars online can be very difficult to track down; This kind of nascent web culture is generally frowned upon by Wikipedia (witness the deletion of the I'm in ur base article since the Ask MetaFilter thread just a few months ago)...

Memo to Wikipedia: tracking nascent web culture is what you are good for. It's about the only thing you're good for, and certainly the thing you're best at. As someone once remarked: Wikipedia's great if you want to know how frequently the f-word is used in Reservoir Dogs; not so useful if you want to understand the causes of the English Civil War. I suspect it's because Wikipedia's shortcomings as a credible and comprehensive source are so blindingly obvious that its editors go around deepsixing articles on trivia, in a doomed attempt to pretend you can take them as seriously as you would the information people hide in books.
