When the ranch workers talk to one another‚ they speak with bad language‚ not the refined English of a more educated class. The raw

An upsetting display results with Holden’s rant‚ “Somebody’d written “Fuck you” on the wall. It drove me damn near crazy… I kept wanting to kill to whoever’d written it” (Salinger‚ 201).
