When I was studying English in San Francisco, I learned the 'Bushonics'. This is the dialect that most famouse speaker is President Gerge W. Bush.
The most striking features of 'Bushonics' are generally considered to be 'BAD' or 'UNGRAMATICAL' by linguists and society at large. But it is said that this attitude may be changing.'Bushonics' speakers strike back and are beginning to make their voices heard encouraged by Bush presidency.
University of Texas linguistics professor James Bundy says that 'Bushonics'
speakers are greatly misunderestimated and not lacking in intelligence
facilities.
However some linguists still content that the term "Bushonics"is
being used as a crutch to excuse poor grammar and sloppy logic. It
is difficult to say that how many 'Bushonics' speakers there are in America.
Former Secretary of State Alxander Haig is only the most well known 'Bushonics'
speaker in the U.S. Armed Forces.
In my opinion, I brought up in the suburbs of Sendai-city. I used to speak
ZU-ZU-ben. (It means the dialect spoken at East-North area in Japan.)
I am ashamed to utter it in public and will open up only to fellow speakers.
Because I was laught at by our classmates in a middle school days in Tokyo.
Then I am taciturn. But recently the young live in the suburbs do not speak
the dialect that their parents use to as it seemingly is due to TV. or
Radio.
