Why is not good to use faulty language?

Question

This is really important because I need to make a speech on this theme for using faulty language at a english class... thank you.

Answer 1

Here are some reasons you should not use foul language that you can put in your speech. Good luck! :o)

1. People make assumptions about your character (usually negative) when you use such language.

2. Using foul language conveys your intelligence - people who use such words do not have an extensive enough vocabulary to express themselves more eloquently.

3. Swearing shows a lack of self control...most people cry out such words when frustrated or angry. Not mature!

4. Cursing becomes a habit - and quickly, too! Using this language means that one day is can slip out when you really don't want it to...if you don't use such language, it will not slip out.

Answer 2

Because language is all about communication. The reasons we have grammar rules and so on is so that we'll understand each other. There was a case in the news in England a week or so ago, where a French doctor working in England didn't use the right word when calling an ambulance to a patient and because of this the control centre didn't realise how urgent it was, the ambulance was delayed and the patient died. The doctor should have told the control centre that the patient was unconscious, but he didn't know the English for that, so he said "asleep" instead. They took that at face value and it cost the patient his life.

That's why it's so important to use correct language.

Answer 3

It is not a good idea to use 'faulty' or incorrect language as quite often it could get you into trouble as people will miss understand what you are saying.
By the way its not 'an speech' but a speech; you do need to say 'an english class'. 'an' goes before a word starting with a vowel - a,e,i,o,u.
Good luck :-)

What is the definition of faulty language? I am assuming, you are not referring to the general misuse of words, due to a lack of knowledge of the definition. By failing to precisely define the term "faulty language" used in your question; is this an example of faulty language? Does the language used convey clarity to your audience? Ambiguously framing a statement leads to miscommunication and misunderstanding. If one uses language to stereotype an individual or group, is this an example of "faulty language"?

Faulty language appears in the framing of arguments. The fault lies in the employment of fallacious argument structure. Arguments based on fallacy have always been successfully used, in areas such as, advertising, politics and the practice of the law. The results being relatively benign or dangerous and deadly.

Faulty language is not good, if you intend to be forthright.

Answer 5

It makes you look less intelligent. People who have good vocabularies are perceived as more intelligent then those who don't, even if it isn't true.You are more likely to get a job, and writing and speaking skills are important in a business environment. After all- no business wants someone who only uses one-syllable words representing their business- it makes the whole company look bad.


Oh, and ignore that idiot at the top. It is 'a speech', not 'an speech'.

Answer 6

if you use faulty language, people will not understand you, and you cannot communicate, it's that simple. This is not just true of foreigners trying to speak your language but also of people from the same country who have poor grammar. I imagine from your name that you are not English, but there are plenty of English-speaking people on here who cannot make themselves understood, which is a shame because they cannot get good answers to their questions.

Answer 7

for the same reason you wouldn't use a faulty tire on your car, or faulty logic in math.. it doesn't give the same results you would expect from the opposite forms of each. faulty grammar is hard to understand as it is inherently 'broken'. we are all taught at a very young age how to use and utilize our language, and so we all have, whether its conscious or not, an understanding and expectation of how to interpret and decode language. if its broken, its that much harder to interpret and decode than if it wasn't broken to begin with. if like was i talking this way, hard understand it would be me, yes?

Answer 8

People tend to get away with using poor grammar and poor sentence structure when they are speaking but the written word can show up all the errors and mistakes including falacies. Because many people don't like to read much these days, they don't realise the differences between certain words, words that sound the same but are spelled differently.

Answer 9

"The difference between the right word and the wrong word is like the difference between lightning and the lightning bug" - Mark Twain.

Using faulty language can make a message harder to understand, or impossible to understand, and it can lead to a meaning that was never intended. "He got laid" is a sentence. So is "He got laid to rest". Add two words and the meaning is entirely different.

Answer 10

It makes you appear uneducated and stupid and inferior - in that others will feel superior to you for spotting mistakes you have made. It may lead in some cases to misunderstanding or ambiguity - or just meaninglessness
