People seize upon slang. because it is
new and amusing, use it incessantly
until it becomes a habit, and they
forget that it is forced and probable
completely inappropriate. Another
contributing factor to the fall .of
good English may be found in the
evil influences of various agencies.
Much modern literature is of poor
standard, and English takes another
hard knock. Néwspapers are careless
and are exceedingly useful in spreading newly coined phrases. The theatre and the radio at times are dire&
sources of slang, and they seem to
be the standards of reference for the
young Americans. All these things

a command of it is. What appeal
can we maké to our people? Ours is a
polyglot nation and therefore we cannot appeal to the patriotie pride of
its citizen since most of them have a
sirong loyalty for a mother tongue,
whose roots are deep in a foreign
soil. Another hindrance is that America cannot depend on wide reading to develop good English, as the
average persons reads little of worthy literature; and when he does,
he chooses condensed magazines
such as the numerous digests, which
maybe excellent for content but
have little value in literary form. If
‘we turn to what shouldbe legitimate
sources of pure English, we meet
destructive influences there: the
radio, the screen, the press, and even
teachers with master’s degrees.
What is there for the progressive
citizen to do? People who protest
against the looseness and mutilation
of the language are called ‘‘old-fashioned and reactionary”. And when
the situation is thoroughly analyzed
“This guy Angelo Saxon” needs éarnest attention. This fact is only
combine to bring about destruction
and degradation of such a_ great
thing as the English language.
_Taking all the foregoing facts into consideration, what is the future
for the English language? There is
just one choice for the American
people to make: to wake-up to the
possibilities of their language, to

the possibility that in future years
English may ‘become the international tongue; and since foreigners learning English in their own countries
do so correctly and precisely, Americans are ,faced with the absurd situation of being the only. ones who
