17 September 2013 Vanishing Vernacular In his article, “The Cosmopolitan Tongue,” academic linguist John McWhorter explores the importance of language diversity, and how its death is steadily increasing while its uniqueness diminishes. McWhorter harps on the death of language and how people should be more linguistically cultured. He discusses that, over time, words have been shortened from multiple syllables to having only one or two. McWhorter writes that, when people come together, their different dialects disappear and mold into one concise language. The article states that language originates at its Latin root.
In spite of this great amount of terms, a single word in English can be loaded with meanings. Fine, for example, has fourteen definitions as an adjective, six as a noun, and two as an adverb (Bryson 69). However, there are still gaps. English lacks words describing the middle ground between hard and soft, near and far. English has also a large number of negative words, like inept, disheveled, ruthless, unkempt, for which the positive counterpart is missing.

Technology evolves rapidly and what was considered new and unique becomes old and commonplace. The following three different types of literacy practices are all currently in use: Newspaper vs. Blogs Regular mail and phone are typically used for one-on-one communication.
Andrew Fuemos Mrs. Baum Comparative Essay 27 September 2012 Diversity is the inclusion of different types of people as people of different types of races and culture in a group or organization. Although “Remember the Titans” takes place in the 1970’s, the movie shares the same theme of accepting diversity as “My Mother Pieced Quilts”, “Theme For English B”, and “Where I’m From”. “Remember the Titans” and “ My Mother Pieced Quilts” are similar in the way that all of the pieces of the quilts and all of the football players have each come from different places and have seen different things. The pieces of the quilt and the football players are each diverse from each other, They each have their own special things about them. For example Coach Yoast is a white man from a town that doesn’t welcome blacks and Coach Boone is a black man who came from a black family.
For example, they were said to be ‘the best literary institution in the state’ by Horace Greeley (228). Along with many of the other colleges it seemed to be a self-sustaining village. Visitors claimed that it was like ‘a village more than a mere institution for educational purposes’ (229). One of the more sophisticated compliments that Santa Clara College received involved its educational success. Santa Clara College itself was able to claim to have ‘the largest number of Professors and Tutors connected with any institution on the Pacific Coast’ (230).
Textbooks and the Native Americans Within the confines of textbooks, it's easy to take the commonly straightforward dialogue as truth. However, it's crucial to be aware that these texts come from scholars who have simply been influenced by other scholars and their own personal accounts and understanding. This becomes even more visible as we look at texts from different time periods and see the change in accepted information, as well as how this information is presented. In the case of the Native American social structure, through the eyes of European explorers, we see many drastic changes in presentation, and with good reason. “No one knows how many people lived in the Americas in the centuries before Columbus.
