usually language evolution brings in complexity and more words. We are at an era where I fear we have less words, in common usage that is.
I know language evolves... for god sakes anybody should understand that. But this is not about language evolution...
That's ok... I am sure I can ask a few experts (a cousin of mine does this for a living, she is a linguist) if this impression is correct... that American (and by the way other languages too) are losing it.
Though I do notice that you did not deal with functional illiteracy, which is an issue these days.
