Yes, we all know that problem…children and juveniles nowadays make frequent use of bad language. As a teacher, I am trying hard to counter this trend, but obviously to no avail. And all of you might have already figured, this is of course attributable to the music played on the radio and on TV these days. While listening to one of my favourite records, the album “Rage against the machine” by a band with the same name, I immediately heard an example for what is going wrong nowadays.

The song “Killing in the name of” features the following line, which is repeated over and over again:

“Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me!”

Phrases like that mess up our children’s language. As responsible adults we all know how this should have been phrased…it’s got  to be:

“Fuck you, I shan’t do what you tell me!”

There you go…watch your language, people!
