I dont knove but in the last two years i have noticed this!
My sisters 7 year old boy say to me " ■■■■ of" or my sisters older girl child she is 11 year old told me and my sister when we should fix something i here room "Get tha ■■■■ out of here" omg what is this language come from? I asked here later why she talked in that way and she say "I have it from the school" all there talk like that she say! And the last one here thats the 7 year one he say to me" shut your mouth" when i asked him something about his toys! And some of the adoult`s i talk to also have this strange talk like a friend of mine on the work say "Yeah Lets do it" when i asked him to joine me to an movie i like to se! So do we all speak english in about 100 years? PS I am from Norway and we speak Norwegian here still i hope! [ 06-21-2002, 02:16 PM: Message edited by: Megabot ] |

It seems to be headed in that direction. I assume you are referring to the use of cursing in English as opposed to your native tongue. Not being multilingual (some French and Vietnamese) I wouldn't be surprised if there was no translation for the "F" word. If I would have said something like that at their age, boy oh boy! I would've had a bar of soap in my mouth and a belt accross by butt before I could have finished speaking.

Speaking of the "F" words, its not usualy allowed here. SOmeonell complain soon enough i suppose.
But culture chages. Kids today regard this words as part of their normal vocabulary, along with a large anout of words which apall the previous generations. Blame TV, blame computer games, realize that as these kids grow up these words will actualy *become* a normal part of vocabulary and cease to be shocking. After all there just patterns of sound, the meaning we attach to them is purely arbitrary. I suppose well get a whole new set of daft words in another few years.
