holidays

Happy national grammar day!!! This holiday (march 4) is pretty self explanatory; it is a day to use the proper mechanics when talking or writing. If you don’t know how, I suggest carrying around a dictionary or something. This day kind of annoys me. But many say it is language is important to one’s society or culture. So some argue that it is important to have our language intact and not loss it’s original state. We also use more and more slang words everyday as generations go on. I predict that in the future we will be speaking in texting words or acronyms. If we do not use good grammar the English language would be lost. A language is an important unifier of a nation. Each nation has its own identity and language is a big part of it. People feel a sense of ownership to their own nation when there is there own unique language to it. I think it is OK in a lot of places, and I respect that but I think America should not have an official language. Even though English is the dominating talk in the US, we should not credit it to be, or announce it is. The US’s idea is that it is based on many cultures coming together and not having a favorite culture. Sense culture is so apart of language; this is why US should not officialize a national language. Anyways this is one holiday I wanted to share with you. Use your proper grammar!
