Christopher Mulholland ... wasn’t that the name of the Eton schoolboy who was on a walking-tour through the West Country‚ and then all of a sudden ...” “Milk?” she said. “And sugar?”’.

With every generation come cries that teenagers are destroying the language with their newfangled slang. The current grievance harps on the way casual language used in texts and instant messages inhibits kids from understanding how to write and speak “properly.” While amateur language lovers might think this argument makes sense‚ experts say this is not at all the case. In fact‚ linguists say teenagers‚ far from destroying English‚ are innovating and enriching the language. First of all‚ abbreviations
