Language... Enjoy it.

I feel as though Stephen Fry's message of, 'simply enjoy language for what it is and what it gives us as a society,' is targeting not only English speaking people but all speaking peoples. I feel as though he wishes people to just give language a break, and not try and show off how much one individual knows of language by cutting down an others speech or broadcasting. All in all I feel as though Mr. Fry just wishes for more people to take an interest in language but keeping a cool head about it at the same time.

Stephen Fry on Language

Stephen Fry, known for being a well spoken man, made a video about how people don't enjoy language anymore. He mentions how people these days get enjoyment out of everything except words and the only people who are concerned about language care about the wrong things. People have written Stephen Fry trying to get him to join their cause about changing "five items or less" signs in their local grocery stores because it isn't correct. Stephen fry comments on how these people try to show off and tell people how language "should be," while these people have never truly enjoyed language. Everyone speaks their own different version of English depending on where they are from or how they were raised. Stephen Fry states, "There is no right language or wrong language anymore than there are right or wrong clothes." What is important to him isn't grammar and punctuation it's the love a desire to appreciate language for what it is.
