Almost every language on the world has dialects and American English is no
exception. At the present time there are an interesting study which is on American speech
habits. This study has show that different words are frequently used in different parts of
the country to denote the same thing. For example, in the east, Americans use the word
"soda" to denote a soft drink. In some parts of the west, a soft drink is "tonic". Such
differences are usually a source of conversation and sometimes misunderstanding happen.
Speech and life all over the world has often changed. New word are being used when
new discoveries are made and new concepts are formed. Usage determines when is correct
and what is incorrect. Fifty years ago, it was incorrect to say "It's me." But today it is
acceptable simply because most Americans says that instead of "It's I." People changed, so
language changes. Why is wrong today may be right tomorrow.
