Re: Cants

Yeah. Probably not...

So, anyways.

Any attempts to find a common grammar and/or lexicon for this strange
little slang/cant have failed miserably. It has rapid sound change induced
by the high volume of content going through AIM every day (the main system
of communication with this slang/cant) and the fact that people tend to
accept the words that others use (if they're phonetic...I have one friend
who chronically spells _everything_ wrong, but is very easy to
understand). For example, "cloff" (a mistyping of "cliff") has entered my
vocabulary as "smaller than a cliff, but larger than a breadbox".
