the erosion of the english language?

damn. should have listened to the advice directed at me- not to let the pressure affect me.
damn. should have took it seriously.
come to think of it, i did.
but it was a little too late.
damn. guaranteed that i will get nothing anything less than an A on ConB.
damn. stop thinking i'm some genius. cos i'm not.
damn. i've completed article 1. oh it's supposed to be good right?
damn. arrival of taxi took enough time to get a bus ride home.
damn. the moscow delegate was definitely oh-so-gorgeous.
damn. not enough sleep.
damn. is there a stupid understanding weather test tmr.

how many more damns can i come up with? i don't know.

was just discussing with grace and may about the erosion of the english language. and how this would then affect children for words are used to loosely that they( kids) just take a word out of a context that their friend used, treating it as the way the term should be used. that we can safely say that few know the truth meaning of 'bugger', or use the word 'gay' in the appropriate context, or even the word 'fuck'. i'm not being vulgar but i just wanted to reinforce my point. ( oh damn. i am actually quite vulgar. shoot!)

given the context that i used the word 'damn', it was somewhat also an erosion of the meaning of, well, 'damn'. most of us nowadays use words without much thought to the essence and the context that we use them in. words have become linguistic expressions manipulated to allow others to comprehend our statements easily and in so doing, connect with us.

how many times have you heard a kid actually say 'Oi, don't be so gay la?!' when all his younger brother did was to give him a hug? or whatever the phrases or actions may be, we have all been through somewhat similar situation previously.

grace made a comment about how with me around she would never have to read another copy of times or newsweek. or watch any of those info channels like discovery or anything.

i know it's supposed to be a compliment. but i never wished people saw me as smart. cos i'm not. i store stupid facts ( Such as making Howie do the flexibility experiment in the middle of her doing her MMR survey form. SORRIE GIRL!). and i cant make sense of every single crap i study. really. and as i've mentioned before, my knowledge is very limited to what i choose to know. and i know very little.

anw the point is that, essentially we should be more careful in the way we use the english language. there's no use promoting campaigns such as speaking good english when people constantly subject others around them to such cheap use of words.

oh i forgot, words are cheap anyway. however, the way we use words and place weighs to each and every single one of them would make an essential and pertinent difference to what we say and write.

so i shall embark on a journey to cut my language into shape and give it the abs it needs.
