I’m writing a paper on the effects that “Internet English” is having on people today. So far I’ve found 2 articles online but I know there have to be more. If you dont know what I mean by “Internet English” check [here](http://www.techtv.com/news/culture/story/0,24195,3410312,00.html).

Has anyone recently come across an article similar to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
