Language and Knowledge



Do you think knowledge you have affects your language? I don't know your opinion, but at least, I think so. This helps you to speak some jargons or argots that many other people wouldn't even imagine they exists. For example, the ones that have got knowledge in computers, they can speak a different language that not everybody would understand, and maybe they are still using the English tongue! This is quite amazing, and that's why I think it deserves a post in my blog.

Another feature that you can understand if you have more knowledge about the situation in which you are, is what type of words you can use in that moment. This vocabulary is called "politically correct language" and it's a "neutral" language, one that doesn't bother any other person. It shouldn't disqualify or discriminate others.It's more polite and kind. If you are used to the some words like "nigger", for example, it may be difficult to you to use a synonym, because maybe you don't know any other as you always use the same word to refer to African American people. It may be an uncomfortable moment for you if you are talking with a "nigger" and you say that word.
