         %PROPER LANGUAGE WORK USAGE GRAMMAR PHRASE 910620

     If  people  whose  purpose in  life  is  to  preserve
traditional   usage  of  words,   grammar,    phrases  and
punctuation  were  put in charge of education;   then  our
patterns of thought would stagnate,  and creativity  would
be stifled.

     In   the   process  of  thinking  new  thoughts   and
giving  expression   to new experiences it  is  inevitable
that  new words  are invented,   old words are used in new
ways,    new  combinations    of   words   are   used   as
pointers,      old combinations  of words are used in  new
contexts  which give them new meanings,   and punctuations
are  used in new ways.  Languages  came  to  be what  they
are  today   through  many processes  of  change,    which
reflect the changing cultures and activities of the people
who conceived the languages.

     The  keepers  of  language  play  an  important  role
in stabilizing language;   but they are not the right kind
of people to put in charge of education.
