We speak everyday.What do we speak? English?Malay?Tamil?Portuguese?Mandarin?Spanish?Arabic?
LANGUAGE
We use it everyday to communicate.According to Wikipedia,language is a dynamic set of visual, auditory, or tactile symbols of communication and the elements used to manipulate them .Language is considered to be an exclusively human mode of communication; although other animals make use of quite sophisticated communicative systems, none of these are known to make use of all of the properties that linguists use to define language.
Without language i think most of our lives will be very dull.Tell me honestly,can you sit down and not say anything for a whole hour?I don't think so....However,language has to be used wisely.The words we choose to use must not be hurtful and disrespectful.Some words in English might be an offensive word in Chinese.
And people...why must we really use the F-word?Is it really a necessity?Is it word vomit?Or just an attempt to be cool? To me whenever someone uses this word..their mouth should be scrubbed with a gauze and washed with dettol! The other day i was observing this boy,he used the F-word at least 20 times in 5-7mins!!!! Aiyo.
Yea,so,anyways this is kind of what i want to say......Megan signing out for the week! Have a nice week and Happy Raya to all the Muslim students!!!I'm sorry if my WORDS or LANGUAGE has hurt you in any way : )
"wei..you see ah.. tht f-er ah damn f-ing f-er lah dei. tht day i was like 'what the f!?' yala.. eh f lah why u so f-ed up lah u f-er."
i still remember standing there with you counting the number of times the fella used a swear word... daaamn.
