Bare Vexed: Response

Slang has become a big part in our society for the young generation, it’s taken over the normal words that are used in the everyday life of a normal person, the article by Isabelle Kerr starts off by saying “im so gonna unlike that selfie of her twerking, srsly though these words make me wanna vom “this is expressing that these slang words are not expectable to use and if they are expectable shouldn’t be used in certain text. as the article carry’s on she explains how she is in the young generation as she is 20 years old, and she also notes that she’s sad that all this slang text is “sadly not a misprint “and she is “embarrassed and ashamed “in my experience the boys and girls between age 13-17 mainly use the slang text, if a 20 year old writes an article on how he/she feels about it, it’s going to be a different view and feelings towards it because its most likely she/he didn’t use slang and used normal text. I disagree with what the article says on slang, in my opinion the language has changed before over the years, im a 15 year old boy and slang is now the present English just as normal English words was the present text back in the time, it may not be the present text for the older generation but for the young generation that’s being brought up around it, it’s going to become the text that they all use. Isabelle Kerr also says “it’s important to keep up with the language developments but these words give out the wrong impressions” the slang words don’t give out a different impression to the normal Standard English it’s just standard English cut down, it’s not a different word that’s throwing out different meanings, nearly everyone in the society understands the slang that being used because the older generation has used it in messages before in my past experience, also the younger generation has rubbed off using slang onto the older people because one of the main reasons why slang is used is to send fast messages and the older people want to be the same so they start to adapt to the slang text. It’s sort of like a new piece of clothing that has come into the stores, it would come into the stores, be the new trend and then it would slowly fade out and something new will come along, it’s the same with slang, slang will be replaced and it could either go back to standard English or a new text style could come, but the point is it’s not the end of the world to use slang once in the while, it’s still the modern day words that everyone likes to use but shortened. There was a point in the article were I did agree with what it was saying, it was when its explained how the slang words have been added to the dictionary, the dictionary had been made way before slang was used, so I disagree to mixing standard English with slang in the same dictionary because it’s sort of like mixing a rival group to each other it will not work and people will disagree that it was right.
