Mothers Tongue

Amy talks about how she knows that her mother does not speak the perfect english and that some consider it broken because of that. To Amy, it's clear and understandable. Some of her friends say thay cant uderstand her at all and some say they can. But Amy speaks a different english with her mom as she does with other people. She has grown up to speak this english, and learned to speak a different english to not be considered stupid or dumb.

To me, it doenst make anyone stupid or dumb. Everyone has grown up speaking english differently within their home and learned to speak it differently to others. One thing that will never change is how we will be judged. We will continued to be judged on how we communicate with others, how we write, and how we speak. We will have to learn to speak what is considered "proper" and communicate that way.
