Pretty Snow

Sitting inside, warm with a cosy jumper and a steaming cup of tea, the snow is falling. Snow! Rarely do we get this cold wonder. As ever, it is pretty.

Though pretty never does something justice, does it? In primary school, people are told not to use pretty because it's 'too common'. This means it is hardly ever used, but even when it is used, people reject it. Such a shame. But language does change, after all, and the 'death' of a word inadvertently helps this process. Some may reject this change, but without change, all the languages of the world wouldn't be as different as they are from each other. This would mean people couldn't be proud of their language, or even have a language to unite their country. Changing language, thus, is essential for human pride, which is linked with humanity itself. So, in short, language change is part of humanity
