Do teachers teach proper English or just teach common language skills to conform to modern standards?
For example – bike instead of bicycle.
I do realise that the words “ye” and “thee” are now considered archaic but other common household words, once considered proper words, are now being contorted and distorted for ease of use. Don’t foreign-speaking people have enough trouble with English without English-speaking people changing the context and meaning to words?
What are your opinions and thoughts about my argument?
Do you have any examples of your own?
