Question for British. Do you think true British value and language can be menace by World American culture?

Question

We're heading to a world culture.It's isn't bad as such but English language came from so far to achieve a degree of perfection and clarity.Now today American Hip-Pop slang is transforming young British at a point that it's getting difficult for their own parent to understand them.

Slowly but surely, a new border is being created but this doesn't seam to interest minister Blaire and others.They rather send young English to die in Iraq instead of helping British English culture.Paradoxically if true Oxford English must survive one day in it essence, it will be in countries like Russia, Sweden,Belgium.

Why enforcing Mexican-American border if English language is doomed anyway?

Answer 1

Since no British have answered, perhaps an anglophile will do.

I'm finding it extremely hard to decide what your question actually means. I think you may mean "be menaced," or more accurately "be threatened."

You need to watch the reconstructed movie, "My Fair Lady." Note especially "Why Can't the English Teach Their Children How to Speak?" Note also that this film was originally made in 1964, which is getting to be rather a long time ago now.

Fads come and go, and hip-hop cannot be expected to endure any longer than the rest. But we retain a knowledge of good English even when we do not use it well, partly because the Queen herself, and her son and grandsons, will insist upon it. We know proper English because we learn it in college nowadays, although there was a time it was taught in grade school, then in high school. But don't take the lower classes as indicative of what remains, only what gets attention in the mass media.

The fact is, English is the most durable language in part because it is the most flexible. People all over the world speak English, do it in quite different ways, but manage to be understood for the most part. I, for one, am not worried that the Queen's English will die out. If it does, it will probably be because the human species has died out.
