It is ironic that I was discussing the downfall of the English language in America especially among the new generation.
When I see the classic movies, I enjoy the dialect used and the correct pronunciation of the words. In contrary when I listen to young people, I see how much damage is done to the language and how the new generation is lacking the proper use of vocabluray when converting to others. Change is always good if it is in a constructive way not in a destructive way.
