Answer:
The issue I chose to write about is frequently confused words. The language legends of that time only wanted English to be seen as a coherence. Someone who studies deep into the English Language and its past would be able to explain their view on these perplexing words. Though I would never alter it, I believe that a language rule can be broken or changed. Dr. Johnson “Those who have been persuaded to think well of my design, require that it should fix our language and put a stop to those alterations which time and chances have hitherto been suffered to make it without opposition.
With this consequence I will confess that I flattered myself for a while; but now begin to fear that I have indulged expectations which neither reason nor experience can justify.” Even though he was against the language changing; he knew it could never be stopped. “Like it or not, language is always changing and English will continue to do so in many creative and — to some perhaps — frustrating ways.” Jonathan Swift once said, “some method should be thought of for ascertaining and fixing our language, forever it is better a language should not be wholly perfect, than that it should be perpetually changing” from researching and reading his excerpts I believe his view of language changing was acceptance.
I would agree with his statements, but not completely because someone of a common mind would change the language to benefit only them and their selfish ways. Samuel Johnson also agreed with Swift to some extent, trying to preserve the language. They only wanted the English language to prosper and change for the better. Examining both sides of the argument I am only left to conclude that it is better for language to change. If we tried to stop the progression of language then we would not be able to get to the next level in everything that's dealing with language.
Language also changes very subtly whenever speakers come into contact with each other. There is no way it could be. I am only agreeing with it because I know it's not possible to stop the progression.
