It's an ing mystery

Link: Language Log: A new way of 寫ing Mandarin.

It seems from the post above that the Chinese mystery and thriller magazine is among the leaders in language evolution. Language Log links to an article in Pinyin News discussing how frequent it is now for Mandarin publications and informal writers to add .."ing" to the Mandarin -- to look "cool and modern". From the comments to that article:

"For example, the Mystery and Thrillers magazine cover here has a cover line reading “《天机》第二季火热连载ing ” (and I think they’ve used the same wording ever since the magazine launched mid-year). My guess is that it started online (or close to it, like in cutesy IM language), similar to other grammatical borrowings (的说 being another prominent example)."

You can see more examples at the Language Log post, including an election poster.
