I think that the idea that Black Children are Verbally Deprived is ridiculous. Race has nothing to do with how a person speaks it's the environment they are raised in that can play a role in how a person speaks. #fa25e211o2

@BrookeR0512 I think that languages change for efficiency more than laziness, but laziness definitely contributes to it

Its crazy that drive-thrus with alcohol are so popular, they have their own name, but we don't have one in Vegas, of all places #fa25e211o2

I think that bilingualism is amazing and should be preserved because it allows individuals to communicate across cultures #fa25e211o2

[Emma Burkey @EmmaBurkeyNSU]

I can see how parents reducing to one language could be frustrating for a child to experience #fa25e211o2

[Emma Burkey @EmmaBurkeyNSU]

I think that speaking two languages would benefit children culturally as well as cognitively, socially, and emotionally #fa25e211o2

Some things I plan to mention in my essay on technology's impact on language communication include abbreviations, acronyms, changes in grammar, and impacts on culture. #fa25e211o2

[Emma Burkey @EmmaBurkeyNSU]

To start my essay on technology's impact on communication, I plan to provide some historical context on technology and the different communication methods it provides #fa25e211o2

[Emma Burkey @EmmaBurkeyNSU]

I'm doing my topic on how technological development over the past fifty years influenced the way younger generations in the United States use language in online communication. #fa25e211o2

[Emma Burkey @EmmaBurkeyNSU]

Though some people may see shorthand and slang as a decrease in literacy or speech skills, I think they actually allow for more efficiency with fewer words. #fa25e211o2

[Emma Burkey @EmmaBurkeyNSU]

In most situations, I don't really think it matters how someone speaks or writes as long as they can be understood. An exception to this would be word choice in a professional setting. #fa25e211o2

[Emma Burkey @EmmaBurkeyNSU]

I cant believe that there are people who dont think grammar exists in other languages #fa25e211o2

[Emma Burkey @EmmaBurkeyNSU]

@RachelGehl87565 Is it possible that the teachers just thought their conversations with women were more memorable?

[Emma Burkey @EmmaBurkeyNSU]

@gengf2556530 I agree, there are so many new terms that need more explaining to better understand.

[Emma Burkey @EmmaBurkeyNSU]

@AllieFALL25 I think it just depends on the situation. #fa25e211o2

[Emma Burkey @EmmaBurkeyNSU]

@acev7419 I think it just depends on what they are talking about. For example, I know men who can talk for hours about football and women who could do the same with art. Even though a subject might interest 1 person, it doesn't mean it interests another #fa25e211o2

[Emma Burkey @EmmaBurkeyNSU]

I don't necessarily think that women talk a lot. I think that women feel more comfortable expressing themselves in public than men do. #fa25e211o2

[Emma Burkey @EmmaBurkeyNSU]

@Alena10651822 I agree with you. The fact that language is always changing allows it to continue to be meaningful as we evolve. #fa25e211o2

[Emma Burkey @EmmaBurkeyNSU]

I don't think that media is ruining the English language. It's not causing the language to decay but is allowing for evolution and inclusivity. For example, I am disabled and have trouble typing, so abbreviations used in social media like lol are very helpful for me. #fa25e211o2
