(Spoken) Language evolution through web

So, the Russians have adopted many tech terms from English.
Internet is internet (????????) spoken with a Russian accent.
Kilobyte - Kilobyte (????????) with Russian accent.

In some Moscow slang, I have heard the word, interneti (??????????) or (??????????), which ever spelling it would be, to an American ear it would sound the same. The Russians have essentially, made a new word from an American. I say we adopt it back and re-Americanize it.

Definition(s): (I have heard two.)
n. - someone you met through the internet, have had interaction with on the internet, and have had no interaction with before meeting.
n. - someone you, while knowing someone in person, you only interact with them through the internet.

i.e. My relationship to all of you in these posts would be an interneti one.

Internetible - able of being an interneti
Internetial ?
Internetiful ?
Internetic ?
Internetive ?
Internetiless? - having no friends/communications through the internet
Internetious ? -
Internetiant ?

Nice observation there fellow interneti.

It's amazing how concepts, ideas and language gets adopted as it spreads across the globe. Globalization, it's a beautiful thing.
