English is what is refered to as a 'living language' which allows for a language to evolve and change as the times do so. An example of this is the term 'computer' which in the not too distant past refered to a person who performed computations, not a machine. As for 'blog', 'email' and 'text' there are few things to note. First, according to Knuth, 'Email (let's drop the hyphen)' (http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/email.h tml). If you don't agree then use 'E-mail'; however both are technicaly correct and may be acceptably interchanged. I am a little warry of addressing 'blog' and 'text' because they are hottly opinionated subjects. In my opinion 'blog' and 'text' have similar properties as 'walk.'

Observe:

I went for a walk. (Past tense reference to a particular instant in time)

I am walking.
I will walk. or
I walk. (Active tense)

While I dislike both the term 'blog' and use of 'text' as a verb, I can't discount that the template applies.

Living languages are prone to these changes and that's what makes a language like English great. Languages that cease to change die off and slowly become less socialy pervasive as a primary form of communication, Latin for example.

As an aside, because Netspeak occurs in more than one language it shoud probably be classified as a linguistic construct associated with some non-descript language.

As with all opinions these are mine, yours may differ, and that's just fine.
