Let’s talk about a serious disease that’s affecting our youth and spreading all around the world. This disease is called[b] “SLANG.”[/b] Why is it a disease?,Because it destroys a certain part of the brain making you retarded (slowness of mental development in children).According to “A Comprehensive Etymological Dictionary of the English Language” [/b]the origin of slang is from sling and means, 'to sling the jaw, to abuse words.'Slang affects the way you behave, speak, dress, think; as a matter of fact it affects your entire life. Speaking in slang lowers the[b] IQ (Intelligence Quotient), and causes mental deficiency, simply called retardation. Take a look at the way people who use slang dress - clothes unkept and sagging, with untied shoes, etc. These are things you would relate to a person that has a mental deficiency. What if a life or death message using the correct pronunciation was broadcasted; do you think those who speak slang would overstand it? No they wouldn’t, and the result just might be their deaths or maybe even yours. The usage of slang affects the Broca’s Area, this is where you learn to articulate and form phrases. It’s the portion of the brain that gives us overstanding of languages, with language expression being the function of motor control. You must overstand that any part of your body that is not being used; your brain will cut it off just like it never existed. Increasingly we can see why speaking correct grammar is not only important, it is also beneficial, and a contributing factor to why most inner city residents can’t get jobs; they have poor diction. Slang may have started out with unconventional words or phrases that express something old a new way. However, it has developed into a sick, malicious, vulgar language that might even shock the devil, and it’s spreading throughout the world. We must fight against this disease of slang: poor articulation, bad grammar, and inferiorism by correcting our children and ourselves when slang is used. |
