Today I watched a video which was about the future of English. I was curious to find out what kind of changes English is thought to go through. The first change that was mentioned was related to adverbs' suffixes, particularly the -ly suffix which is slowly disappearing. The second one is connected with adjective suffixes ending with -n, such as wooden, broken etc. These have a tendency to shrink as well. Also, plural forms of nouns are becoming simpler. Instead of irregular forms (like mouse - mice, goose - geese) more regular -s endings are likely to occur. Another phenomenon - shortened future constructions (I'm going to show you - Imma show you) - is already present in the language and will probably become more common over time. Several more interesting modifications were mentioned so I recommend this video to anyone who's curious about the topic.
The average temperature of Earth's oceans is steadily increasing.
Life emerged so long ago that it's unimaginable.
I should encode the message for security reasons.
