Languages: WHAT IS THE POINT?

Lets face it, what is the point of any language but the superior English language? Well, no let's re-phrase, what is the point of learning any language that isn't English in England? If, like me you are forced to study a foreign language, such as German, I'm sure you ask yourself the same question before every lesson, "What is the point of this." The truth, there is no point. If you were to visit Germany you would find that most students are taught English as a language, thus they will be able to speak English. It is the same in most countries of the world. The next generation is being taught English, so will be able to talk to us English people in good old English, so why should we be forced to learn their language, which they won't be using, as they can speak English.

However, this problem doesn't stop with the simple learning of English, there is another problem, a problem that originates in the stupidest of all countries, America. Here we see a new version of English sparking up, this "US English" features such disgusting words such as 'homie' and 'wassssssssup'. They also insist on denying the existence of the letter 'u'. In their laziness they have decided to cut words, for example, who told americans that they could take the 'u' out of 'colour' and 'favourite'? Let's get this straight: There is no "US English", it is merely "English", so learn "English".

Let me return now to England to give you an example of one such person, who has also 'edited' the English language. His name is "Ali G". He is a white male who wishes to be black and has made the youth of today into rambling fools who use such words as, 'Bo' and 'Selecta'. These words appear in no dictionary and are of no use.

Another problem I have with language and its use by people is the way people use words out of context. A prime example is the word 'Gay'. This words true meaning is happiness. It has been since linked to homosexuals. Now, although I have no problem with homosexuals; they do as they do and so be it. There are people who don't like them. These people, and in fact any other person use the word 'Gay' as a slang word for anything bad, for example, if something goes wrong, it is Gay. When you have such brilliant English words such as 'disastrous' and to a lesser extent 'Shit' what is the need for describing something as Gay, when it is so out of context? How can a crashing computer be Gay? It is my opinion that people who use this word a lot have it on the brain and are probably closeted homosexuals themselves.
