This article is in response to Isabelle Kerr and her article about how young people are speaking and how certain words are being created. I personally disagree with this article .

These new words are just a new way of young people communicating and some people just do not understand it. Isabelle Kerr says that “The future of the English language looks bleak.” I disagree with this because it is just like a different language, some people do not understand it, other people know a little bit, and there are just people that do not have a clue what it is. This just goes to show how she just does not like that there are more and more words being created by young people. Ever since the world was created there have been trillions of words created all around. This is just creating about 15 new words and she is having a breakdown about them.

Teenagers talk in ways that some people will not understand, just like another language. This is NOT a bad thing, it is just a new way of communicating by using shortened words and made up words that most young people know about, for example ” Sup, wuu2, u, r, etc. These are just easier ways of talking especially on social media. These words define who we are and how we communicate with each other Isabelle Kerr says “If the only words we can create are unimaginative hybrids of pre-existing words, or worse, shortening of already perfectly good words, then what hope is there?”. I disagree with her because all words started from somewhere and she may use some of them without even knowing. If you look through the dictionary there are words in there that have been shortened or even made longer.

She also says that “Words like twerking, unlike and selfie are nothing more than slang which, just like any fashion trend, come and go. After all, when was the last time you heard someone describe something as “groovy”?” I disagree with her because if these slang words will be forgotten in a few years time, she will have nothing to worry about the way we speak in around 10 years time and also there will be plenty of words to come in the future and she could be the one to make some of them.
