His help has made me feel at ease despite the fact that I do not know very much. He however, understands that I will not know very much, as does everyone else, and makes the effort to help teach me. If I do not know exactly what something means or there is something that he thinks might confuse me, he slows down and explains the process of the definition of…

Communication and Dialect in America What makes us speak differently than one another? There is a thin line between “dialect”, “slang”, and “language”. Dialect mainly determines how your voice sounds depending on your region, in this case America. Slang, is made up words that transformed over time to shorten things.

any form of a language that is odd to a specific group or region. According to James M. Rubenstein, there are a total of three dialect regions, and they are New England, Southeastern, and Midlands.

While it may seem unfair for Fletro to be denied a job based on religion it is unfortunately constitutional. Unfortunately, Church of Latter-Day Saints V. Amos set a breaking exception for religious organizations to discriminate against persons for employment based on religion.
