the question is:
(Language doesn't improve. Nor does it decay. It simply changes over time through usage) Discuss.
then my tutor gave us those lines to help us
1-People certainly think, and assert, that it improves(mainly the young)or that it decay (mainly the old).
2- Some say it improves because it creates new words to adapt to changes in society, such a new technology.
3-other say it decay, because it becomes less "poetic" or "elegant" than in previous times. They also complain about poor "standard" of English, which normally means that new ways of speaking,new accents, dialects or items of vocabulary are being created, and that they disapprove of this novelty.
4-Over many hundreds of years there are examples of people complaining about declining "standard" in English.
5-Overall,however, these assertions are subjective judgements, not linguistic ones.
