Blog 2; When Two Worlds Collide: Slang vs.Formal

Every generation has different traditions and perspectives as the world changes every second and the English language isn't an exception to this truth. Before the 20th century, people prefer being answered by the rigid,yes-and-no reply,because it is direct and fast. Now,kids' use of "slang" terms like "duh", "yeah,right",and "like" exhibit versatility and flexibility. However, these terms puzzle and interrogate adults because they don't know what kids actually feel about a certain issue or statement. Old-fashioned yes-and-no commends respect and a strong,stable and critical answer. Yes means yes and No means no. Flexible "duh" and "yeah,right" is either both,depending on how someone expresses it. It is also considered as the "limbo" or middle answer. Yes-and-no does not depend on how the speaker conveys and replies it. The slang terms are understandable on how the speaker say it-whether it is good or bad. Both languages describe the variety of people from generations. Moreover,due to the diverse culture mark on people,they tend to argue about it and compare how things are before and after. However,the English language (or any other languages),is always there,and like people,language tends to diverse too.
