A few years ago, I was convinced we were spiraling down to the point described by TH White where the only value-judgment words we had were "good" and "not good" (or maybe "doubleplusungood"). We seemed to be down to 'good,' 'happy,' 'cute,' 'cool,' and one slang word that kept changing. But lately vocabularies seem to be increasing, and I notice that recent songs actually have lyrics again. My guess is that the internet really is having the effect that paper correspondence used to.
