For decades people are saying that English is a dying language, however
in every decade there seems to be a time where people feel the need to
protect the English language. Everyone and everything has been blamed
throughout time. At this point, people have come to the conclusion that it
is the Medias fault. The Dirty Fingernail theory states that Journalists dont
pay enough attention to language details. This is not true, the fact is that
languages are subject to change and the problem is ignorance about how
the language changes. Journalists dont invent new forms in a language
they merely use them, a journalist just writes in the way where the
language changed in to. There is another theory, which states that
journalism is just Junk Writing, because the journalists write in such a way
to attract attention and too keep people reading their article. Writing for
the press is not that easy and requires a lot of practice. The media arent
necessarily ruining English, they just adapt to the changes made in the
language.
where people refer to. The speaking of the youth shouldnt be directed at
schools, since they dont really teach children how to speak . the kids

Posh English as a standard, is Cockney English not proper then? Youth
dialects shouldnt be banned, its something that shows that languages
keep on changing.
people get angry every time that a double negative is used in a song or
something like that? I mean there are bigger problems in this world than
the use of double negatives.
