It will be interesting to know the regional differences.http://www.englishforums.com/English/ImprovingTheSiteSlang/qnl/post.htm#4856Mon, 18 Aug 2003 13:46:26 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:4856hitchhiker1http://www.englishforums.com/English/ImprovingTheSiteSlang/qnl/post.htm#4856http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments41-4856.xmlWe can setup a forum for that, I've had it requested a number of times.. Kit: Could be all slang (keep each region mentioned in the individual post)http://www.englishforums.com/English/ImprovingTheSiteSlang/qjw/post.htm#4785Sun, 17 Aug 2003 19:35:31 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:4785kitkattail2http://www.englishforums.com/English/ImprovingTheSiteSlang/qjw/post.htm#4785http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments41-4785.xmlThe problem with that, though, is that slang varies so widely from region to region. Whose slang would you teach?http://www.englishforums.com/English/ImprovingTheSiteSlang/qgz/post.htmSun, 17 Aug 2003 10:54:42 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:4731pieter3http://www.englishforums.com/English/ImprovingTheSiteSlang/qgz/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments41-4731.xmlI beleive that for non-native taechers and students rading some short texts with slangs could be extremely useful.
