What's words worth?

Shakespeare and Dickens had a far harder time getting published than we do, yet they had far more of worth to say.
It's watching the bastardisation of our language where acronyms are an accepted form of speech that churns my stomach and dumbs down the Nation one word at a time. Shakespeare invented words as he went along and increased the the depth, passion and intellect of our language, and now, how long before words become redundant? The beautiful English language with it's mix of French, Latin and Saxon, becomes a coded language owned by generations that have yet to understand the depth of feeling and passion in a language that has survived and thrived over a millenia?
Dickens documented a way of life, an era in some of the most beautiful and sometimes difficult words and here we are now with a few letters that are meant to encapsulate the depths of the heart and the meanings of many lives...

I love words because they are cleverer than me. They increase my learning everytime I use a new one and they force me to think about what I'm saying and how I'm saying it.
Many write for the sake of it, some write for pleasure. I am a mix of both, sometimes I have to document things and it is a process, other times I write for the love of it or because something has inspired me. I don't use acronyms in everyday speak, not even in text messages, I just can't do it.

"What's words worth?" More than I dreamt at the start of this blog. What's words worth? A play on words or just bad grammar?

Thanks to Motorhead for the title, Lemmy is a far more literate and intelligent person than is given credit, don't believe the headlines.
