I don't know anything can stop the evolution of a living language, even

That seems like a strange stance from an english major.
Isn't your job to educate and preserve the language? If we can just
make up words, ignore grammar and eschew proper spelling, why bother
to study the language at all.
At a certain point we will have placated the lowest common denominator
and devolved to pointing and grunting.
