The american language has disintegrated into monosyllables
I have noticed that the English language has disintegrated into monosyllabic verbiage. This is odd considering I see people reading all the time. However when you speak a 3 syllable word, they all stare at you like you just farted. I don't get it. It's such a marvelous language full of such varied words. It's why I like the movies from the 30s and 40s so much because they used words that evoked images and feelings. Unlike today's movies which consider guttural sounds a conversation. This also speaks volumes about today's politicians and those that listen to them.
