For the 19 years i've been alive there has been several words created, some useful and some failing in their tracks. Though all of them were a condensation of the word or words that were originally used to complete a sentance.<br /><br /><ul><li>-werd = I agree</li><li>-ain't = is not or isn't <--- (already condensed, so WHY does it need to be tampered with any firther?)</li><li>stack or grand = 1 thousand dollars<br />The English language has embraced and denied trends and dialects that have eventually turned it into the mixed language that it is today. </li></ul>There is no English as a whole anymore, theres only the remnants and fragments of our recent generations tearing it into peices and making new branches of it. How things should sound, or how long a sentance should be before the listener dismisses their sense of hearing is what we now base our guidlines of speech and writing.<br /><br />These branches consist now of (in my own words and expiriences):<br /><ul><li>Regularly spoken American English - no slang, no dialect and no accent.</li><li>British English - the kind that has a cheerful tone, the british accent, and those deveous words that require the common vocabulary lacking American to later summon a dictionary to understand what was said to him/her</li><li>Slang English - The street english spoken by blacks and whites completely disregarding a word, pronouncing only half of it, and hoping that the listener understands. (god forbid that they don't, it would be counter-productive to repeat yourself with language skills THIS lazy)</li><li>Southern english - Similar to the slang english in regards to lazy sentance structure and word usage, but with a few defined differences and formulated words (such as saying <strong>that there</strong> truck) and then adding the formulated word (<strong>that there</strong> truck, over <strong>yonder)</strong></li></ul> And these are only a few<br /><br />The variety of vocabulary and sentance structure is now governed by how much strenuous activity the speaker wants their tounge and throat to endure, rather then having a flowing variety of words and phrases construed into the partisipant of the conversation.<br /><br />The popular Law it seems for the creation of a language seems to be the area you live in and its usage.<br />If you live in the south, your more apt to having the southern branch of english.<br />If you live in the ghetto, slang is more then likely your branch<br />and all inbetween have their own.<br /><br />Though ive noticed that everywhere i go, there are people that speak that regular english i posted about earlier. There are people everywhere that speak like that. and in no other social area that possesses their own language have i noticed the same pattern.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/306881247528476260-3527735088983103173?l=unnecessarilylongname.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RuckusXDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13429900107218207023noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-306881247528476260.post-90859815989633677202009-09-10T15:08:00.000-07:002009-09-16T10:31:35.271-07:00<strong>Theres No We In</strong> <strong>Blog</strong><br /><br /><strong></strong><br /><br />My name is Russell Gray and I'm not going to lie I really don't know what the word blog means, and other then the fact of it sounding like the noise that you make after a night of heavy drinking and a seafood buffet, i dont think the name sounds like it should pertain to a literary entry.<br /><br /><img src="http://blog.globalgiving.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/the-computer-demands-a-blog.gif" /><br /><br />So i did what any normal person trying to find random information would do, i wikipediad it, (yes i just made a noun into a verb...INSANE) at <a href="http://www.wikipedia.org/">http://www.wikipedia.org/</a> and heres what i found:<br /><br /><br /><br />Blog actually means weblog, for some reason or other instead of calling it a weblog, some lazy typer along the line decided to take the "we" out of the already miniscule 6 letter word. Thus creating BLOG.<br /><br />and heres a link to break. The videos on this website are rediculous and you must watch them NOW. <a href="http://www.break.com/">http://www.break.com/</a><br /><br />I've also noticed, that when i started viewing videos on break, i would always pass by the pictures. and i would think to myself, yeah these videos are too funny, the pictures must be boring and dull compared to video footage.<br /><br />Yeah, i was wrong...<br /><img src="http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2007/05/union-cat-is-on-a-break.jpg" /><br /><br />and for future reference, this is my upcoming domain<br /><a href="http://www.redshade.org/">www.redshade.org</a><br /><br /><br /><br />Anyways, this is my first blog, as well as my other classmates, so check them out too and see what they have to say about blogging and whatnot.<br /><br /><br /><em>View my other blogging classmates at<br /></em><br /><a href="http://jjpopper.blogspot.com/">Jamie</a><br /><a href="http://lemonmuffinchip.blogspot.com/">Mike</a><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/franklytj.blogspot.com">Tj</a><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/skiman64.blogspot.com">Ian</a><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/Shdwgamer-theblog.blogspot.com">John</a><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/Sarahannwashere.blogspot.com">Sarah</a><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/Kendallcreesblog.blogspot.com">Kendall</a><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/spanktastic2120.blogspot.com">Billy </a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/306881247528476260-9085981598963367720?l=unnecessarilylongname.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RuckusXDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13429900107218207023noreply@blogger.com0
