Writing for the Social Network  A long time ago, in a galazy
far, far away I graduated with a degree in English from Saint
Louis University. My senior year I took a class on the history
of the English language.  This class still stands out in my
mind, for two reasons. The first reason was my floppy disk
crashed and I lost the electronic version of my thesis for the
class.  Thankfully, I printed an unedited version out prior to
the disk going belly up.  It was several versions older but it
saved me loads of time and stress than recreating the entire
thing.  The second reason I remember the class so well was
actual course content.  I can remember being completely
interested in the evolution of the English language from Old,
Middle, Modern English and how exploration, immigration, and
population shifts have created completely different English
languages.   Yet just like the evolution of the English
language, writing is evolving too.  David Lee King writes in his
