Language constantly changes, grammar, words and spelling evolve - they come, they go/become obsolete in society. It is mainly due to the media, though, if you ask me, as well as the education system. The influence of the media that makes people think that slang is cool, and the laid-back attitudes of some teachers plays a significant part. I have plenty of tolerance for mistakes, we all make them, but what annoys me is that people are reverting to the American ways of spelling, 'Mom' is something that I constantly see now in writing - and it seriously irritates me! Basic grammar errors are also a peeve of mine. I appreciate my language teachers so much more now than what I did at school, because they basically taught us the English grammar that we had so little experience with in our English lessons. When I graduate and become a French teacher, I hope to continue this, because I am not expecting much change in the education system, even though it is a prominent feature in the news these days. I couldn't care less about accents though, 'received' pronunciation means nothing to me at all. In fact I love all the accents a lot, and we should keep them all, but we seriously need some improvements in grammar and language.
