I feel American in general...is sorely lacking in it's use of the English language. I work in a blue Collar(Union)environment...so I try to make a conscious effort not to let My Vocabulary slip into colorful Slang. On My trips to England...it becomes clear how to properly use the English Language(it makes Me embarrassed for America).The Whites, Blacks, and little Children ALL speak the Queen's English so much better than We do...it makes Me want to live there!

Believe me, in England, they have their own slang and derragatory words as well as poor grammar, it just sounds better with an accent.

There will always be regional dialects in every language spoken around the world, and there will always be standardized forms spoken by academics and businesspersons which adhere to more stringent rules. The trick is to know which form is appopriate for which occasion. There is nothing inherently 'wrong' or 'stupid' about a regional dialect; it is merely the simpler, more accessible form of the language used in everyday speech, wherein proper conjugation, grammar, etc. are secondary to the ease of use. However, when attempting to communicate with others whose own dialect may be markedly different from one's own, such as in business or academic arenas, the standardized form of the language is essential to fluid and efficient interpersonal relations.

In other words... Don' be a hater.

I'm well aware of that...but even with Thier slang...the English pronunciation is better than Our's. Now the Scottish....They're a wee bit more difficult to decipher...but I've develoved an affinity for it thier slang, and understand just about every word of it.
