Engggllaaasshhh....

The English language has many more "languages" than people really think...
In our everyday lives we use many type of English whether it's talking to your friends and using abbreviations or using slang thats a type of English because you do it constantly. Sometimes you really dont stop and think about how many different ways you can talk to people. If you go in for a job interview you are obviously not going to talk in slang and use incorrect sentences or vulgar language. You are going to talk very proper and respectful, something you probably dont do when your just sitting around your friends conversating. If you think about how you talk to your grandparents and then how you talk to your professors it's crazy how a person can change their whole entire vocabulary. If you play a sport or are in a band you might talk different to your teammates or your band members in a way where outsiders cant really understand what you are saying.
Our everyday English is constantly changing and we alter how we talk by the type of people we are around.
Some people whether they are from North or South may have learned different English terms in different ways so when people meet one person may not understand what they other is talking about and they may be talking about the same thing. Word usage is a big thing for the English language and how you use your words and how you say them in general changes how the language is portrayed.

I can admit i use allottt of slang!!! i am constantly abbreviating words and not using proper words like for exaple "She and I"..i always say Me and put myself first and im always being corrected.
