According to Odaily Odaily, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated that memes and emojis are driving the evolution of English towards a more "pictographic" style, with English social media even beginning to develop highly abstract expressions similar to Chinese idioms. He cited the "leopard eating a human face" meme as an example, saying that such memes no longer require words; a single image can represent complex contexts, becoming a new type of "deeply meaningful symbol" in the English system.
Vitalik: Memes are reshaping English; the English-language internet is beginning to form its own "idiom system."
