In America, they haven't spoken it for years...

Ah, my beloved language- how I miss you! I am wrapping up the directing of yet another one of Shakespeare's plays while also keeping current on the social media. As I listen to Shakespeare's words, I reflect on the variety and richness of the language.

And then I check out Facebook:

From today:
One woman posted that she was in an elevator with a group of professional women, all similarly dressed in business attire, except that they were all wearing flip-flops and carrying a "bag of heals".

I asked if they were medicine bags?

Another poster said, in order to compliment the beauty of someone in a photo, that the poster was "drulling" over them.

I am wondering if this is a new verb, or if we are shifting to spelling "drooling" this way?

Don't even get me started on the demise of the word "than"! Apparently, "then" needs the overtime pay.
