Every other week my blog will feature a reposted work. I had been a contributor on two different sites that have since closed or no longer include blogs. I will be reposting pieces that had originally been featured on one of these two sites.
This is the third installment of my review of the book Language in America published in 1969.
As I said in my first reflections on this book:
I’d like to encourage you as my reader in the ways that I
was challenged through reading the book.
That challenge is, to pay
attention to the words you use. Take
care to mean the words that you say in the way that you say them. Be aware of the implications of the slang you
use and what it might indicate.
