Modern British is a dialect of language spoken in the countries of the
United Kingdom and this sentence is written in it. To show you how
easy it is to speak and write in Modern British. Some people say that
the language it is written from is Global English in all its forms at
once. Could be.
The characteristics of Modern British are:
bad proofreading
poor especially ambiguous grammar with no abstractable standard ect
confusing use of punctuation
limited vocabulary
lack of interest on the part of speakers in semantic meaning
sudden changers of semantic meaning
fluid or no distinction between different parts of speech such as they are
adoption of vocabulary on the basis of fashion [e.g. issue, solution]
It may seem that Modern British is a creole and that should not be
entirely discounted; but there is said to be strong evidence that
people who cannot effectively speak any language well began speaking
this way when they were given certificates suggesting there are
proficient speakers. The prevailing notion that only paedophiles
should be criticised meant their delusions were never challenged.
Therefore everyone can speak Modern British as well as anyone else. It
is therefore a deeply democratic language and therefore a good thing.
However, Modern British was early on consciously developed by the
Public Relations and Customer Care Industries as a fluent means of
sounding as though they are saying something. Good style in Modern
British now tends to evade precision, answer falsely and deter people
from questioning. It has been enthusiastically adopted widely.
Modern British is sometimes compared to George Orwell's fictional
Newspeak the aim of which is to limit thoughts believed to pose a
threat to the regime. Modern British limits all thought rather at
random. So you can see.
It is thought that there are now more speakers of Modern British in UK
than there are living people in U.K.And numbers are getting bigger all
the time.
