Historically speaking, relatively recently, literacy has become greatly more common. And with the advent of technologies that allow people to communicate instantly all over the world (such as me asking this to you right now), it seems less likely that localized communities will deviate from the standard and contribute to the slow evolution of language.
Tell me what you think, or if it would be too early in history to judge such a thing.
Looks like I don’t have a choice as to who to give the best answer to…
