The heat of reality is not the fire of breath as the confession of only one tongue shall demonstrate this flame. The famous speech made by Martin Luther King Jr. announced in what are now only quotations to be repeated as the leisure of a language that has been lost in translation for the understanding evaded the United States of America on that day that man uttered his truth: "I have a dream" (said with impulsion).
This dream is the "American dream" at the cost of the world and the languages of certain facts that have locked up the actual virtue of this Earth. To not understand the american dreams is to negate a photo finish? What is the gathering of people around the world to the blank stares of night duty called sleep? That is the ability to live and abide by dictation of that persons country and or state of residence. Another words, the dependent state of birth itself becomes the dictator as the actual grandfather clause must really bite hard and the realm to reason of change must be charged as the charger of the next generations fury.
To regard only I had a dream as the honor that I both rise to the sun and know a moon as I am afforded a schedule that has allowed the timing on such it is the navigation of more than N.A.S.A. or a beach. To this I state with no stagger or weave as implicitly the words that brought the world the decks to build harbors and an ocean that gave rise to tides to comprehend the turns it is now on a 24 hour clock? Please accept the pardon as the table of setting will enhance more than a watch for any seat.
Wall Street is either a day ahead or a day behind and the traffic on the highways and freeways in California are by example the actual Cavemen by lane. The Toll Bridge's that run this country simply by not understanding that the only adjustment needed to be made is not to accommodate the growth of only the Instant Message phenomena formerly known as the worldwide web now only called the Internet, it is the actual reality that the congestion is more than a cold. The sands of time, the clock, the second-hand, and as sixty minutes relieves only those that have 20/20 vision it does not discover Big Ben as this arranged the Greenwich Mean time to introduce the dream? A zone or a time to wrap the mechanics that have now become the digits? Reach within and know yourself for the only thing you have to fear is fear itself. This is yet another announcement from a man (quoted, as is, above paragraphs, name both known, respected and honored), an American citizen, the holding of position that is our primary as I am only a girl and love to understand that to have a nightmare I would have to comprehend a world without a sun.
The fact that not one person has researched the dream state worldwide is a horrid concern and the facing of such ignorance that I must not be moot or muted. Does the immigration or the alien problem hear a discovery in the dream as mathematics to only the dream state? Is this the reason for our compromise at the border of our nation? Is the United States of America suffering the lack of the world's ability to simply dream? And if so does the sadness caress the people as a warm blanket or does it enhance the hatred of all other countries so badly that my simple city has suffered the brunt of its attacks? I tire this at the American Language as the British only have a tongue and the verbiage is only it's breadth to task as the people of the United States of America must now only speak English-American and therefor we as a nation never found defining lines to produce even one sentence that has not suffered the construction of a British Wig. I refute the prowess of this convulsed measure of expressive darkness and employ only my birth as my registry to the certification of simply being a prodigy that tested genius by word association.
I have loved the dream as neither a state or a speech, as the dream for I was for man and held no scope to the color of as it was the words that the radio gave audio to the speaker for I to hear as breadth in depth and not a wheel of fortune. As the fortune manifested itself with electricity and the wisdom to whom allowed me to hear without a screen.
The American Language
1921 title page
Mencken was inspired by "the argot of the colored waiters" in Washington, as well as one of his favorite authors, Mark Twain, and his experiences on the streets of Baltimore. In 1902, Mencken remarked on the "queer words which go into the making of 'United States.'" The book was preceded by several columns in The Evening Sun. Mencken eventually asked "Why doesn't some painstaking pundit attempt a grammar of the American language... English, that is, as spoken by the great masses of the plain people of this fair land?"
In the tradition of Noah Webster, who wrote the first American dictionary, Mencken wanted to defend "Americanisms" against a steady stream of English critics, who usually isolated Americanisms as borderline barbarous perversions of the mother tongue. Mencken assaulted the prescriptive grammar of these critics and American "schoolmarms", arguing, like Samuel Johnson in the preface to his dictionary, that language evolves independently of textbooks.
The book discusses the beginnings of "American" variations from "English", the spread of these variations, American names and slang over the course of its 374 pages. According to Mencken, American English was more colorful, vivid, and creative than its British counterpart.
The book sold exceptionally well by Mencken's standards—1400 copies in the first two months.[1] The book was an early title published by Alfred A. Knopf and would go on to be revised three times in the author's lifetime.[1] Reviews of the book praised it lavishly, with the exception of one by Mencken's old nemesis, Stuart Sherman.
Many of the sources and research material associated with the book are in the Mencken collection at the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore, Maryland.
