Speech to the Virginia Convention--
This speech is a very powerful and convincing word of wisdom that effects all Americans in 1775.
This is a fight against slavery and freedom of our liberty. We must all stand together and not back down. This speech is titled, Speech to the Virgina convention. Written by Patrick Henry. He spoke that he is guilty of taking advantage of freedom and liberty, so he can tell us all first hand that he wants to be a better person and not just sit back and watch, we all need to act. He has researched this and is a very intelligent writer. He acknowledges where he's gone wrong in all of this battle. The tools in this speech are very powerful, he starts out and throughout the whole speech as being very persuasive, getting all of the world to realize we need to fight. Second, he is very knowledgeable in what he's speaking according to what he's researched.
1. He sees that all of every man across this nation seeing slavery and war through different perspectives. He is one to have spoke and admitted to taking advantage of liberty. While greatly acknowledging those who are fighting and risking there lives for our freedom and liberty.
2.The word "light" means that every man has different point of views. Some might be offended, but Patrick Henry is going to share with the world his point of views. No matter what man might think they all need to listen and act like men. He uses this to hopefully open up people's eyes and show that there are different opinions. That's fine, but when it comes to slavery and liberty we need to listen with our ears open.
3.The word "it" is portrayed as someones life in all of our hands. He was very persuasive by letting us know freedom or slavery. We can't do this alone we all have to stand up and "fight. It's liberty or give me death.
4.What God gave us was a world of peace not a world of war. We need to show God the truth in which our country has fallen to slavery. Fight for what we know is right. Let every man live with liberty and peace as we know it. God is really the one over our country and we need to fight and get him back to where he belongs. As the true king of all that we stand for.
5.In using the word Majesty, we all live in Gods kingdom. He is over all of us just like King George the III. We need to respect what he has given us. Not take it all for granted. Our country needs to realize he is our majesty and we need to fight against slavery. Get the liberty back that God has given to us. "Fight."

In Britain, it's an apostrophe catastrophe
Really this is so crazy to be having a huge controversy over such a small thing that's been around forever. I don't agree with doing away with the apostrophe at all, I think it's very important and it makes the statement,or signs as there putting it correct. They look much more formal when you use an apostrophe where needed. Especially on a business sign; your advertising something you want to make money and for the world to have a desire in what your advertising, I think you need to make it look as formal as possible. You want it to sell don't you. Generally people with a lot of money are very proper. But that's my opinion.
If we all do away with the apostrophe whats next? Do we say good bye to the comma's, periods. Even as far as capitalizing letters at the beginning of your sentences. How would we understand what people are trying to say? Especially since this article is based on advertisements, those are so important to come across clearly and correct, so you know exactly what your reading and the advertisement will actually succeed in what it's trying to accomplish.
The big area's of grammar that bother me is words such as there, their, they're. Or even words that have almost the same meaning and its really your personal preference to which one is actually accurate. I do believe silly mistakes like that should not be affected by the writers intentions. There are a few instances where coma's are hard to know exactly where they go, but i do believe we all need to learn the correct way. I would love someone to look up to me because of a wonderful paper I've written or article, and say "Wow look at That". No one in there right mind can deny they wouldn't like to have that same feeling.

MESSAGE BOARD SLANG TALK
Message Board-
Me &my bf have been 2gether for 1yr n we split 4 6months then i got tired of wating i ended up cheating.its been 2 months since that n we broke up b/c it still bothers him.he says its for a lil while till he can b happy again.what do i do?how do i fixit
The correct way to say this in English now is as foll owes:
My boyfriend and I have been together for one year. We split up for, four to six months. I finally got tired of waiting around, so i ended up cheating on him. It's been two months since that happened. We broke up because of that and it's still bothering him. He says it's going to be a little while before he can be happy again. What do I do? How do I fix this?
My Opinion:
Wow I'm really lost for words. This whole message board idea is terrible. I had never been on one before and it was very shocking to see. People just say about anything and in anyway they can to get there feelings out.
The author of this message is telling her life story to a complete world of strangers. Admitting that she cheated on her boyfriend, not knowing what kind of people she's going to get that respond to this. The language she uses came from, really I don't know. It was terrible. Half the sentences were not finished and I had to add words to the sentences just so they would make any kind of sense.
I know I'm at complete fault of some of these slang terms and short words being used. This is a complete eye opener to how pathetic this looks to the whole world. Which in all reality the whole world is reading this. You look under educated and plainly stupid in my opinion. I think people need to step back and take a look at these message boards and maybe it would sink in on how sad and degrading we all have looked at some point. Okay maybe not that bad, because it was bad. I know for me personally I'm going to try much harder at not using those short words. That way they wont become just a habit or an excuse at trying to make things easier per say.

THUMBSPEAK-
I completely agree with whats happening with the world and the lack of communication going on and the way people are choosing to communicate. I'm completely one of these people who choose text messaging over what most would say normal communication. Like picking up the phone and calling someone. I would much rather text, or go online and send messages. That way you can end the conversation without sounding rude or as if you don't want to talk anymore. It is affecting all of us of all ages. My children that are 8 yrs old even use text messaging, because its the new and cool thing to them. People forget how to write sentences that actually make sense because of that whole world. Were all so use to abbreviating and shortening words so that we can do this kind of communication fast.
Most people have learned the three or four letter words that actually mean whole sentences, and its very scary. I think texting is a dangerous world and you learn nothing good by doing it, but yes i still do it. When I'm doing papers for school or trying to write a letter to someone I catch myself using those short lettered words by habit. We all text so much it just becomes a normal way of writing when were doing anything in our lives. The problem isn't getting better either it's getting so much worse as each and everyday passes. I worry a lot about the younger generation with this growing industry of text messaging. It does not teach you the correct way of speaking and it can be very dangerous. In all reality I think we should get rid of texting. It would force so many people to communicate in the right and appropriate ways. There wouldn't be a lot of the garbage that is said on text messaging because a lot of times its very inappropriate things and people are not going to say those things to someone on the phone or in person. For the most part at least.
