Fashion styles and political parties in power differ over time, because people need change. But as the world evolves, so does the English language. This is mainly due to current affairs and as Nicki Minaj would say, it's nice to get caught up to date so you can determine "what's good?"

They will never understand that soul destroying sound of the dial up connection that you had to endure until you were connected to the internet. And just as you were talking to your friends and re-living the events of that day over MSN, your mum would shout up the stairs and tell you to get off of the internet so that she could use the house phone.
