English written by non-native speakers (known as the acronym ELF), Spanish and the mixture of both (called Spanglish) are the most used linguistic phenomena used to web communication. Young people seems to be very happy to express themselves through blogs, a kind of on-line diary in which they use non-conventional forms of the aforementioned languages. Especially in informal contexts, they feel free to use mixed or deviant forms and they even create new meanings or new words. Through my analysis, I can affirm that the internet and young people are the innovators of languages.
