second language

A concept well known to most educated countries.
A student is required to study a language different from their mother tongue.
In regions like Europe people speak at least two languages due to extensive utilisation of the second-languauge concept.
Americans on the other hand speak...erm wait...one language?

American person:
"Yo what the dilio, mah man mah man. I speaks them English, yo bro, sup."
"You're like so prep and like so like not cool, duh."

European person:
"Good day, I speak English, French, and German. When my peers and I converse we utilise an extensive vocabulary to express ourselves."

Language-rape

Language rape is the mis-spelling of phrases or usage of incorrect grammar that is so bad that it can be considered to be a form of violation of said language. The phrase may be used in a variety of contexts, such as a facebook post that is unreadable or even the deliberate warping of language for political purposes, most notably the feminist inventions: "womyn", "wimmin" e.t.c.

Raving feminist: "womyn have been oppressed for so many years, but things will change!"
Joe Public: "I know you were raped as a child, explaining your hatred of men, but does that mean you have to commit language-rape in revenge?"
