Zed's dead baby...Zed's dead

I've been noticing this.

Ever since the internet exploded in Singapore circa 1994, the English language as it is here has been evolved in to "netsspeak". At the same time, companies began using "z" in replacement of "s" bacause it just sounds cooler.

For example:

Brewerkz
Bakerzin
Werkz Photography

Just to name a few of the more popular ones. Just out of curiousity, does it necessarily make it sound better? What's wrong with Breworks? or Bakersin <-- okay this one I can understand after spelling it out...Works Photography????

Even now, our kids in school are abbreviating their essays. Very soon, I'm going to be writing my blog using nothing but abbreviations and weird (so called wired) spellings.

I shall coin the term for how we speak on the internet (IRC, IM, etc.) as "Wired Speech"

IMHO /me thinkz itz nort badz n idea.
