   Language is like a chameleon: it changes its colors according to the place where it is. What can be considered as good use is using language with certain standards in mind. Such standards do not necessarily have to do with grammatical correction; it is actually a matter of social context. Depending on where one is and whom one talks to, language will certainly have to be used differently, that is, in a particular, sometimes even peculiar way, if one's goal is to get himself or herself across.

   A certain level of grammatical correction is necessary, sometimes more, sometimes less, but it has to be there. After all, certain elementary rules must be followed so communication can be achieved. There are language conventions that cannot be taken for granted if one wants to be understood.

   A certain quality of language and usage must be maintained. That does not mean one has to talk like a scholar who is giving a lecture all the time. One should simply bear in mind the various situations of communication, the many different contexts in which individuals from all walks of life interact and talk. The rules of context correctness can be applied by always using common sense. Language effectiveness requires sensibility and empathy. Depending on the context, this or that approach must be used.

Answer:

Language changes according to the place where it is. It depends on where you live, who you talk to, hangout with, etc. It will change due to all of the different cultures in life. Although I think a level of correction for grammer is right, it has to be there. Certain rules must be followed so communication in our everyday lives can be achieved.

Slang uses invented words and assigns new meanings to old ones.<br> a. True<br> b. False
TEA [102]

Answer:

true.

Explanation:

Slang is a part of all languages, usually identified with sub-groups in a community, that make use of non-standard registers in order to capture new or complex realities of this sub-group that cannot be fully accounted for through standard language conventions. The ways that slang words are implanted in a sub-group are spontaneous; however, they always carry meaning and sense, sometimes through sheer invention. Many argue that slang enriches languages, not the other way around.
