so in short the english culture INVENTED the internet ? ROFLMAO...
those acronyms are in english because english is the worldwide language of communication, and internet is the worldwide tool of communication. Period.QUOTE]
Your argument seems to be saying that radio doesnt spread, say, Italian culture because Italian culture didnt invent it. But its certain that more people have been exposed to Puccini operas than would have been the case had there been no radio.
Who cares who 'invented' it. It certainly does spread culture. Everyone who has seen the Yatta video roll your eyes!
I'd give internet commerce, science, and culture bonuses.
(and btw, LOL is an american cultural phenomenon. I believe japanese use 'w' to denote the same thing? So if everyone started using 'w' instead of 'LOL', I would conclude that the internet has spread japanese culture)
