For my first real blog entry here, I got an unexpected “inspiration” (if we can call it that) from a disagreeable discussion elsewhere online. The initial topic of discussion is not relevant to my questions for you (and yes, I am seeking your thoughts, so please share them).

Does language (any language, really, but in this I’m referring specifically to American English) affect how we interact? If so, in what way/s?

Do you see connections between our spoken and written language and sex education? If so, what connections do you see?

Do you believe that how we use language contributes to individual, family, and/or societal dysfunction? If so, in what way/s?
