Texting is a recent phenomenon that exploded due to its incredible convenience. Abbreviating words is not something that began with texting. People have been shortening words for a very long time.

I think George Orwell made a good point when he said “the English language is in a bad way”. However in this generation it is not politics that is affecting our language; it is social media. Websites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have all clearly made an impact on the way we speak and write the English language. Social media has become a quick and easy way to communicate. And while it may have its few benefits, it has definitely had its negative effects on society. Emoticons,…

agree with and others which I really don’t agree with. Geneva makes a clear and straightforward argument that black dialects –or any non-white dialects for that matter– of English are being marginalized. That much I agree with. She wishes to see an integration of Black English into the classroom and a removal of the “standard” English. That much I do not.

In New England, people who immigrated there came mostly in the form of families. In 1635, "Ship's List of Emigrants bound for New England,"…

The influence of the Norman culture, especially its literary aspect is immense. The debts of the vernacular literature of France penetrated very little into the English soil as the French were no apostles of culture. However, the Norman Conquest forced English into a subservient position from which it only gradually re-emerged as a language simplified in structure and its spelling, vocabulary and literary expression were strongly influenced by the arrival of the French language and culture. It…

here. We are family members. Related. Special to on another. Listen!"(Text.pg.517.) The bonding that was taking place at this point in his autobiography entitled "Hunger of Memory" would have never been meaningful, if they were speaking in broken English to on another. The way of the Spanish culture is family oriented that we see it take place right in front of our face.
