Corrupting The Queen’s English:
Whereas the popular language English should have been getting enriched over centuries of wide usage, it has been the other way round. English words are getting thoroughly corrupted with each passing day. Every new speaker of this language is adding his/her distorted meaning, exaggerated phonetics, slipshod pronunciation, horrible grammar, inappropriate usage, misspelled words and misplaced idioms and phrases!
Pulverised English Words:
Users of the English language, particularly writers of English, are to be blamed for this malaise. Without understanding the Queen’s English as such, these writers go on a rampage with their pens, and their keyboards of late. Several items on Triond have become a garbage dump for thoroughly corrupt English usage. Some of the poetry, articles and even readers’ comments are absolute trash. Most of these articles are plagiarised versions with bad spellings, no style or even topicality. Sorry to say that some of these writers and poets pulverise the English language to pulp, leaving the tongue twisted with this modern Babel.
Corrupt English Examples:
In India there are several prominent English language newspapers and magazines, plus English TV-Channels, English publications like story-books and of course, text books. Maybe because the British once ruled India, the Indians have a slight affinity to the language. Call it an advantage of sorts. In India we have the influence of the regional languages holding sway over particular types of pronunciation which sound funny. There is typical Hindi English or Hinglish, Bengali English or Benglish and the rrr-o-lll-ing South Indian accent. Anything remotely connected with computers or Information Technology is called hitech. Anybody working there is a techie. Borrowing silly Americanisms, the Indian considers himself more American than many and mouth words like anyways, freaking, pissed-off, beefing up, “skedule”, recce, anythings, kidding etc. As for SMS and texting, the less said, the better.
Conclusion:
It is a matter of credit for the English language to retain its rich structure, strength and flexibility, despite the onslaught. Some corruptions of English are interesting though inappropriate. True English is dead, long live the proper English language.

Nice illustration there. Many languages are gradually collapsing to join the English language. No surprise here.

English is my first language, so I have an affinity towards it. Jennifer cannot take bad English. especially grammar. She is a big fan of rhymes and alliteration. Pattiann

Proliferating websites make it easy to get your writings published. People want to earn and they think this is an easy way to earn. Few write for the love of writing, and even fewer care for the quality. Even if English is not their native language, they should make attempts to express better. My constant complaint is that even when I write private messages to the erring members, they do not take it seriously. Probably they do not see their mistake, or don’t care and have no pride in their work.

English is my second language, and that’s why I always proofread several times before I publish my articles. I believe that quality always win versus quantity.
