I just said to Steph (Gamergirl220) I gotta take a pic of this. It just disgusts me.

So they changed sci fie to SYFY ITS JUST TWO FUCKING LETTERS!!

Are they complete retards or something, if the American population is too stupid to reed Sci fi and thus need to have it changed to SYFY, well then then they deserve to have their population cut in half by some epidemic, because thatīs just too stupid.

So all in all i canīt see any reason what so ever to change a name from Sci Fie to SYFY it just isnīt that difficult a word to justify such a change.

They're changing it because it sounds (or is supposed to sound) hip.

Sci-Fi is NOT hip. Sci-Fi is what it is. Science Fiction, and it does not need this done to it where basically, it can be mispronounced as "Siff-E".

Americans already have limited intelligence. Can't spell, can't read, can't think for themselves. This just proves America is dumbing down even further.

One more reason for foreign countries to laugh so hard at Americans that they will fall out of their chairs.

As if SyFy wasn't enough, I walk into a store, and what soda do you think I see?

Not Mountain Dew, but Mtn Dew? Granted, don't care for the soda itself, but are you joking?

What are these people hoping to accomplish here? What's the angle? What's the purpose?

Someone help me out here..

Teens. They buy this stuff more than the adults. Texting is the rage these days so shorter names and slang is popular.

And it's lazy, which make up a good majority of Americans. Hey, I'm American, too.

How far will this go, though?

Far. I think this will continue as things become easier. Language has become dumbed down as opposed to more intelligent. People used to speak elegantly now they speak broken english and slang. This is only the beginning.

I used to hate it when my (former) in-laws used to say "Where's the remote at?"

I was living in Maryland back then, so a lot of folks, I guess, had relatives from the South, who brought this form of English over.

It bugs me that my kids could be talking like this 10 years from now.

I don't know what to possibly to say to that, it is um, the right word would be disturbing. Unfortunately that exact point is what I was writing a thesis on before my laptop went and decided to fry itself.....
But the underlying point is the degeneration of the modern American population between the ages of 13- 22 is astounding. I had a friend who had a girlfriend who was quite possibly the most unbelievable human alive..... She was graduating High School with a regular diploma and she thought that a Minotaur was a freaking Transformer...... Seriously, the minds of American youth are seriously nothing more they gray pudding...... 'Nuff said....

I was chatting with someone, and asked why they didn't fully type what they were saying, and they said 'so they can get the typing done faster'. Fortunately, they didn't take it as an insult, but It seems like an interesting way of furthering the destruction of our language through text messaging. I guess kids can read 'Harry Potter', or 'Twilight' with no troubles at all, but when they're asked to spell words like 'mountain', or 'science fiction', their brains would melt faster than a cheese sandwich in the microwave. Soon, people will start sounding like Doc Louis from 'Punch Out'.

I find it funny that English people are the worst offenders of "txt language." Have any of you seen some British internet chats? My God. It's horrible. And they like to make fun of Americans for not using the English language right.

Soon txt speak and leet speak will be a universal language. Soon, everyone will speak it, and if you speak regular English, BOOM!! Dead!

The British have every right to make fun of Americans. Look at what we're becoming.
