When reading about Vershawn Young and listening to Jamila Lyiscott about english, I’ve noticed many similarities with the message they are trying to spread about the English Language today. Both explain how English has been changing and it is not the same as it was not so long ago. To set aside the differences first, Vershawn Young explains how culture has an impact towards how certain people speak English, and that is what they’re accustomed to. A brief example could be the English that I speak would be difference to how a British person may speak, we both speak English but the British have different terminology and slangs to describe certain things. Which allows to British to believe we speak a broken english compared to them. As Jamila Lyiscott was saying in her speech, the new “norm” would be to say What’s Good to your professor instead of hello or other forms of greetings. Something that Lyiscott also mentioned was her effort to stop her other tongues from expressing themselves in places like the classroom or at a workspace. I find this interesting because it is very similar to Gloria Anzaldua’s, “How to Tame a Wild Tongue” and how an accent or ones’ terminology can make a difference when speaking English, in Anzaldua’s passage, their problem was trying to get rid of their accent so they wouldn’t be in classes that will require her to lose the accent. But because we all experience different things coming from different cultures everyone should use their own English, which is the main point of what Vershawn is trying to express in his passage. I believe everyone should be able to use their own language and what they have been taught throughout their life wherever they can. Some words could be passing the line of disrespect and not be recommended to say those types of words. I believe people can be more productive and engaged with their peers and assignments when they are able to use the language they use everyday for their friends and casual interactions. There shouldn’t be one proper form when there are so many “tongues” across the World and English Speaking countries.
