It appears that lolcat'eze was predicted by T. K. Nupton / Max BeerBohm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enoch_Soames

http://www.fullbooks.com/Enoch-Soames.html "Inglish Littracher 1890-1900

Ironically, it has Enoch going 100 years into the future, to where we currently are, and we're now documenting these exact words.

'From page 234 of "Inglish Littracher 1890-1900" bi T. K. Nupton,

publishd bi th Stait, 1992.

k. Most of these words are found by clicking a lolcat'ism, and seeing the tweets associated with these. The 'examples under "kitteh", "kthxbai", "bunneh" reveal more lolcat'isms than I ever expected.

"adn" seems to bring up a gold mine of words.

This list was made by looking up 'lolcatisms' on twitter, google, and that lolcat site by looking up words that go with 'teh' 'haz' 'cheeze' and in doing that, stumbled onto the story of T.K. Nupton and Max Beerbohm from almost 100 years ago which described a time traveller who goes to the future (our day) to discover people using the phonetic spelling of words.
