prejudice
I believe that prejudice is never aceptable, but i also believe that it excistes every. and by being a "Somewhat Prescriptivist" person does not mean you are a prejudice person because a prescrptivist person is a conservites and old fashend that do not like change. for there own reasons. when some people in the class said that they were "somewhat prscriptivist" they ment they think they want the launguage to stay as it is now because they want someone in many years from now to undrestand there writing. but also think that the language is always going to change and it maybe for the better. because if you think about it old english is so different from todays english, if you have ever seen old english you will see that the launguage is so different that it seems to be german. and change is always good!!!!!!!
Change is good; the adaptation to language I believe is a wonderful expression on the inner soul and our creativity. Prescriptivist have their pro's and con's as well as descriptivist and I think either way we're inevitably looking at the progression and exploration of language use.
