* Enigma_Nova glares at HongHu
My initial guess is this:
AOL (or whatever you may call it) is a dialect of English.
People learn this language by associating with others who know the language.
That's how kids learn English from their parents, and AOL from the internet.
This new dialect evolves through every incompetancy and error in the english language.
It has become quite a far-removed dialect; it's almost enough to be considered its own language.
Thus, it is incorrect to judge the grammar and spelling of AOLiens, for they speak a language different to ours (and thus are not bound by the same rules of spelling and grammar).
As for HongHu?
You have your own dialect, and are notoriously poor at using plurals.

'full score' --> 'a full score'.
'full marks' is a set of words used widely around colleages here despite its lack of correct grammar.

It's hard making jokes when they keep getting taken seriously.

I know what you mean.
When I Jamski says "I don't agree".
People understand him.
When I say "I think the reasons for that time travel movies are generally impossible are that they usually ends up with temporal paradoxes. This is where the action in the past cancelled the specifics that caused the time travel in the future. Basically for one to happen it negates the other. Ofcourse there is the possibility that the temporal incursion happened all along and caused the result of the incursion. This is the case where the changes caused by the time travel in fact were what caused the time traveling making a kind of self locking loop effect. There is another mode of thinking that time travel is actually from multiple parallel universes. You don't actually change your own universe but instead make a change to a parallel universe that is in a different time frame that to your own. Generally, movies ignore those issues and hence make themselves impossible. Ofcourse with Hollywood you don't need to actually have something realistic to sell a blockbuster so movies will continue to have key flaws in temporal dynamics as I've outlined above."
People just tune out.

Personally I have a very flexible view on the way time travel works. My view is that it's sci-fiction, and it doesn't have to make sense since we haven't managed to do it. If we do manage it then it may just defile current understanding like quatumn physics is completely different from a Newtonian view of the world.
However, according to the more popular theories on time travel (that I was reguritating) Timeline didn't get it right. Basically they changed the past, but that should have changed their own knowledge of the past with it.
So the part where they found out that they rescued the french lady who was supposed to have been killed. They shouldn't have been aware that they changed the past, since their own memory is supposed to have changed at the same time that they changed the past.
PS: In my opinion the acting in Timeline was really bad and I felt I wasted a movie ticket.
