'Teens slang' article.
Teens are named as the worst people for using 'slang', and Emma Thompson says that 'sloppy' language drives her insane and she mainly criticises teens for using the words like 'innit' and 'like.' Like is now known to be used in many sentences, as a filler or even a pause.
She explains that, in her eyes, using the word 'like' in a sentence is a crime to the English tongue.
Teens are constantly victimised for being the main users of slang, and whether or not that is statistically true, all teens are being categorised as one another, and in my eyes i don't believe that is fair.
In this generation, to fit in you have to mirror and duplicate everything anyone else is doing. This is why the language of slang is multiplying rapidly around the whole of the world. People are trying more than ever to fit in, especially at the adolescence life stage, this is because if people see you as anything more or less than them you will not be accepted. 'Like' is now being used as so much more than just a word, it is fillers in conversation, a facial expression, a speech descriptive and more.
