In "The American Heritage Dictionary", the label Slang is applied to words which: A. strive for rhetorical effect through the use of extravagant speech. B. are considered insulting and derogatory. C. are acceptable only in conversation and informal writing. D. educated speakers and writers consider unacceptable. Answer D not for sure because of the way it says it in the dict.     "The  American Heritage Dictionary" Also if someone could tell me how to tell how many Language Abbreviations are used for all the different forms of latin, in this dictionary? I don't understand Anonymous Conversations, Abbreviations
