Hello Chola and welcome to the forums. Slang is singular and uncountable - it doesn't have a plural form. If you type American Slang into your browser, you will find lots of sites, but here are some to start you off:

Hello Chola, hello Abbie,
I guess all the languages have their slang, don't they? Does it have to be only American?

Uh... in which case, it would be 'slangs' (countable plural), as in The Slangs of the World, an Investigation of the Ubiquity of Non-standard Lexes. But yes, the noun is normally uncountable.

There r quite interesting slang in American movies, I suppose theyre all using American slang.. ? I could really use slang that describe a good action or an accomplishment, that describe a looser, a busted computer or something, and describe a crazy idea or action..
help?

'Slang' is an uncountable noun in these sentences, Chola-- please remove your 's's. And 'are' is spelled using three letters.
