Txtspk APIs to come?
-
Well according to the free dictionary[^], there are two definitions for the word. The first one seems to be what you are referring to and the second seemingly more to what the writer of the API was meaning. :)

I thought Miller had that word trademarked. I hate when developers use it, because Miller Lite sucks. If you must drink a Light Beer; Sam Adams or Amstel Light.

And when did English start devolving? :P
============================== Nothing to say.
Devolving en devolution are not a real words, at least not in the context you're referring to. Evolution means the change in a system without a purposeful direction. The word "devolution", or "backwards evolution" contradicts with this definition, since it implies evolution has a purposeful direction. The word you're searching for is "regression", which is the opposite of progression. The change in a system with a purposeful direction.

I think they trademarked, Fizzy Tasteless Drink. I don't think anything from Miller is much different from that. :)

Yes, it is, since this particular German family was responsible for the first world war, which paved the way for the second, Comunism, the cold war, and the Balkans war. Of course its the British peoples fault, They killed theirs, then decided they wanted one back, so got hold of a Germanic Import to do the job. :)
