Pure or Original English? ...English is dead!? Oh noez!!! D:

Ok, so I was joking about but seriously...there is no Pure/Original English...
The English language was created from all sorts of other languages, from all different cultures invading the country and adding their own language 'traits' to it so there never was just one version of it.
Of course English as a language is spread all over, more adding to it as it goes along, as JC mentioned with it in the USA.
Even in Britain itself English is all "messed up" with different ways of speaking it (if that made any sense...) for example Scouser (sp?) in Liverpool.

I have no idea what The Queen's English is though...The Royal Family is actually German...

Well... Even if English is made from other language's. I was talking 'bout more in the days of Shakespear, when they used language the average "Teenage Gangsta" would never understand.

Well now...

a. that's not even remotely close to "original" English (or, more accurately, the proto-English language)

b. I don't think they cared much in the Renaissance about whether or not "teenage gangstas" of the future would need to understand their vernacular...especially since today's "teenage gangstas" don't have much of a vernacular at all...and barely an intelligible speech pattern anyway. Maybe "teenage gangstas" need to focus more on actually learning how to speak in complete, intelligible and rational sentences, instead of trying to "represent, yo". :roll:


"yer mean lyk dis mate - dis is gangsta talk init blud - yer need to get a chick mayte, or yer wud beh named a pufta"

Translation: "You mean like this mate, this is a gangsta talk isn't it. And yes, you need to get yourself a girlfriend, or you would be called a puff."

Thats what I have to listen to 24/7, consider yourself lucky.

But that type of so called "English" is more from the... -Not making comment-, taking over our country. However I prefer Regular English, compaired to Gangsta, queeen, or just shakespear.

Aye, whatever way it's put, English is not a dead language in any form.

*gets toolbox and welds the topic's rails back on track*.
