For those who say Shizzle and such

Your right Vick, and I think your also a little wrong. Our language evolves as I am sure your keenly aware. And although I think the shizzle phase will pass, as many others have, I do think that our shared language will never be the same. Some terms will stick while others (Thank gawd) will pass into the oblivion so well deserved for such phrases. I cannot imagine ever there being an instance where I could, in all seriousness, address someone as 'Thee' or yours as 'Thine'.
I personally feel a well versed vocabular is a sign of self respect and a desire to be understood. Sometimes the big words are the ones that express what you want the most clearly, even if your audience does have to look it up. I have a certain distaste for the current slang, and use 'bling bling' as a joke...........Always Yo.
But I think the days of what could truely be considered 'eloquent' speech is long gone. I do see some beauty in the expression of youth by youths.
