"Meh" is a great word it serves a purpose no other word really can....its elegant and simple too.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Great news for the passive-agressive community

+1. Another adjustment of the curve to fit the collective intelligence of the English-speaking world.

You guys are right, the creation of new words is clearly a sign of our impending downfall.

Words aren't really the reason. I remember when those Rollitos came out. Rolled up Doritos. I thought, "Are we too damn lazy to eat a freakin' potato chip now?"

Oh well.

Why is this "dumbing down" ?

Languages grow and develop.

If you want to talk about dumbing down, learn to spell COLOUR and GREY correctly (and the rest), before you start talking about dumbing down

This is off-topic, but are you really unaware that there are two ways of writing colour?

Im aiming more at the fact "american english" exists, and that could be seen as nothing more than a "dumbing down". On saying that regular english has "dumbed down" over the years, and came together by being "dumbed down" from other languages, they were probably "dumbed down" too
