The standard of English used today is violating the conventions of the language..


Languages such as English are often vitiated by foreign speakers of the language. People have the tendency to transform any foreign language to the style of their vernacular language. English is more than just a communication tool. Erudite scholars of English are those who not only use language to convey their opinions but also embellish the language with flowery words that delights the people. Now-a-days erroneous language has become difficult to ascertain. Even clairvoyant people find it very complicated. This is because of the fluency that people have attained through frequent touch with the language. Today, we can hardly see a language that was used by bucolic poets, who exemplified all the qualities of a great poet a number of decades before. Scholars who have achieved numerous accolades for their language are acutely worried about the mutilation that the English language has confronted. Even trivial changes in the sequence of words in a sentence can impair its gist. Very few magazines adhere to conventions of the language. Flamboyant writing always has its significance. But presence of chaos in the language makes the kernel of the language incomprehensible. Hence the power of the English must be properly utilized to make communication more effective.
