American English *added* so much to the language, it's daunting. To say that English is inflexible shows that you've done absolutely zero research in studying English. The English language is amazingly flexible, more so than any other language in history, and it's growing everyday.


Don't worry about the kids. They might sound stupid now, but the very best of their slang will be absorbed by English, just like it's done for every generation previous, and it will emerge an even larger language still.


"The story of English" is a great little academic book on the subject and here is a great documentary based on the book, if you'd like to learn more:
