John Dee butchered Elizabethan English along with Bacon later on.
This is an old English dictionary from the 17th century:

>isnt this whats been happening for the last...30 years? people are forming less and less coherent sentences, more "smileys", pepes and what not. just as they are degenerating our culture, or whats left of it, our language is being degraded to the lowest as well.
Exactly. Memes and such are basically masonic handshakes normalised for online communities. The imageboard format also damages your reading comprehension, with
<"TL;DR, I CAN'T READ A WALL OF TEXT"
etc.
Emoticons etc. are precisely what Bacon was talking about.
