Our English language should come with a massive, bright warning sign saying “under construction”. If we were to look back to the year 1450 AD, we would discover the nascent stages of our current period of modern English. However, when studying Shakespeare's works, which date from the 1500s, a translation of many of his lines is necessary for most ordinary people to understand everything he implies. Therefore, one can only imagine the magnitude of the changes that will occur in our language. I predict that over the next five centuries we will have acquired a language eager to be effective, creating a less valued literary art and leading to a decline in common vocabulary. The highest rate of efficiency is sought in all aspects of the language. our current society. Our machines, our human labor, our learning and our businesses are continually searching for the perfect formula that will result in one hundred percent efficiency. So what would happen if we could communicate with perfect effectiveness? What if every word we spoke reflected the precise meaning we intended? Our conversations would be faster and more productive if we used fewer filler words or swear words, elaborate descriptions, and redundant synonyms or phrases. To achieve a language described previously, the articles “a” and “the” would be unnecessary. We use only one of the multitude of synonyms for a single word, and when we explain an item or situation, we describe it once and move on to the point of the story. A significant decrease in the use and incorporation of details will be easily seen. Speaking in this way, using less energy to communicate the same idea and message, will result in a shorter conversation...... middle of paper ......normally called happy, sad and mad rather than auspicious, discouraged, and irascible. I could have written this essay straightforwardly in two words and gotten the same message across. Certainly, I would not have displayed this information with such emphasis and exaggeration. My arguments about the state of our language in five hundred years in favor of efficiency, the devaluation of art and literature, the obtaining of a naive vocabulary would have been less reinforced, but the main would have been the same. However, twice as many papers could have been graded in the same amount of time, students would have had more time to devote to other tasks and, frankly, this course would have been considered more of a history course than a a course intended to broaden one's knowledge. internal dictionary. However, at our current stage of language use, being verbose and magniloquent is greatly valued..
