Going through the English language, we find many words that have been shrunk down to smaller terms for a means for faster ways to express yourself.

Brother to "bro" for example.

However in many aspects it makes it unfair for those who are learning the English language to get to understand the real language. It also seems as if English is nearly a means of just an open source aspect for others to modify at their own content.

The English language is becoming more and more slang-type and it is becoming more and more hard to decode many illegal activities used by gangs, drug dealers, and other activity.

It seems many people are even in fact voiding the English language as a whole, and it seems that there are 4 divisions of our own language distributed by North East dialect, South East, North West, and South West.

It is not the fact that the English language is being distributed and modified daily, it is more of the fact that one day there will be such a high word bank of expressions that words that describe the most specific emotions will be so complex to understand due to the inferior value that many words in the English language are given.


Take the video into consideration. It is somewhat off-topic however provides quite a bit of examples within our language that have been modified.

Please comment and give feedback of what you think about the source of the English language being modified so heavily that many words have no value, including most of arts, poetry, music, and expressions.

BBC. I also like your imperative that compares the English language towards an Open Source development. That is bad and good at the same time, especially that it is used for illegal activity.


EDIT: Not sure about the Media function on BBC here.
