American Language Changing.

In todays world, the american language is changing dramatically. There are new words, and phrases being created on a daily basis. Many words most of us will never hear of nor will we use in a sentence or conversation. I would love to think of what a person from another country trying to learn the complex language we call our own. I mean the english language has so much slang that its hard for someone learning the language to know what word to use in a certain context or situation. I mean I can sit here and tell you many variations of the word car= vehicle, automobile, ride, wheels, whip and so on I mean the options are wide open. Im sure this confuses alot people trying to learn our language. Think of when you were in elementary school and you are learning new vocabulary words coming from a book authored by some old guy who thinks that todays youth is going down hill. When really you wont use any of those words, and instead will go home and watch nickelodian or cartoon network and mimmick what the characters say and start to use their words in your everyday life, because you want to branch out and be different and there is nothing wrong with that.
