The loss of the proper usage of the language is inevitable. A few years ago, it was mandatory to understand how to use the language. That is no longer so. It is no longer required that immigrants learn the language, and why should they when it is not taught to our students? In California they have their own sub-language called ebonics. Why? Because they will not teach students the proper usage of English. I guess it is too difficult (or something). But the days of having self-pride to learn the language of the country you live in are gone.
Contradictory to what immigrants think in our country, in other countries you have[B] to know the native language to get along (except in the bigger cities, or around military bases - in limited terms). The internet age is not helping either. Everyone thinks they have to live in such a fast-paced way, they want to abbreviate everything.
