IMO language evolves over time? We don't talk like the Elizabethan English or the Victorian English any more. This is natural and to be expect d as nothing stays the same

Along with how many times the yoof of today can say like but not in the real context it is intended. I dread to think how the English language will survive the constant onslaught of slang and misuse in the future. Aye, this sounds about right to me. I've never considered myself an expert regarding the English language & all that it stands for I'm an Aberdonian by birth , but I've witnessed for some time now the demise of our words shortened & played about with. You don't really have be a sad b*****d to wonder how things will end up as Cooperman has said in the future, will we all communicating by a code for the yoof & something different for the oldies.

Actually if I'm 100% honest the way speech is delivered really bugs me. Vocal fry & the dreaded upward speak are two very annoying instances of what's on offer at the moment. Another close runner up is the white men born & bred & lived all their life in Britain, adopting the Black mans lingo "far out man"

Perhaps I should have explained a bit more, it's not really the words or lack of words, it's the Americanisation accent that some white chaps adopt, the "black rasta" accent etc. White born&bred in Inverness/Aberdeen/Manchester/London & you've got this weird accent going on. Most annoying & daft at the same time.

It's a general mayonnaise malaise of not knowing what words actually mean, or have meant, which can so easily lead to misunderstandings that causes me Picked up an interesting one from Jacob Rees-Mogg on C4 news recently in reference to a comment on the recent election result... Shambles = (or used to mean) Slaughterhouse
