Kids can be smart, but other times they can be really, really dumb. Proof is in that article.

The same can be said for any slang, it's neither dumb nor smart. It just is.

I said the kids are dumb; but the slang is dumb too. At least normal slang makes sense, or is at least made from real words. Most of the time it's just a shortening of a word or phrase for casual discussions.
The internet slang is different. Some of it is based off of a typo. Like "pwn", for instance. That's deliberately misspelling "own". That's just asinine.
