Most people believe that education is a key to success in a developed country, but in an educational system that is predominantly administered and operated in English, children who either do not speak English or acquire English as a second language are at a disadvantage. For every child to receive a proper education, many federal, state, and local laws have been passed to ensure English Language Learners (ELLs) are…

Language is different types of expressions. It can be found in art, music, movies, writing and amongst many other things. It is a form of communication that varies between each individual. But most importantly, language can determine an individuals’ personality.

American Standard English should adopt they as a third person epicene pronoun, also coined a gender neutral, gender-fair, or common-gender pronoun (Adami 281, Baranoski 379). Generic he has persisted since the 1850 Act of Parliament that declared it so, but is he truly generic (Zuber and Reed 519)?

English also lacks a third person pronoun for instances when a person’s…

Adding more additional information, making sure my audience haves a more developed and informative background to assure that there is an understatement of each topic addressed without any loophole or misunderstanding of the contempt used to give enough knowledge for the reader to at least be vaguely educated adequately for them to get a full understanding.

Immigrants came to the United States from different countries, speaking their native tongue and over time, English became the dominant language of the United States. Making English the official language of the United States will help bring people together, and it will motivate immigrants to assimilate to their adopted country and learn the new language. Making…
