LONDON: Ending sentences with 'yeah' or starting one with 'basically' has now been banned by a school in South London. In a clamp down on urban slang, the school has also banned its students from using words and phrases that include bare, innit, you woz, we woz, coz and ain't
The school has warned that students heard using informal language will be asked to 'reflect' on it. The school has set up sign boards across the campus pointing out words that students cannot use anymore. The move by Harris Academy in Upper Norwood is facing a severe backlash on the social media with people saying the move will censor a 'young person's natural language'.

Experts say the use of urban slang has made youngsters forget proper English. The school however has clarified that it isn't saying slang is bad, but simply that it shouldn't be the only way that one is capable of communicating. Britons were recently found to be losing their hold over English.

I could sit here and poke fun about how British Islanders have no sense of humor, but I won't, because old English, when spoken outside of the ghetto, is the purist form of the English language. I dig it.
I was not allowed to say "ain't" when I was younger, and I was a country bumpkin in lead mining country. I do like "yeah" though.
When proper English is spoken, you hear every syllable, and it is perfect. I met a woman who claimed she was from England last night, and I was disappointed, because she had the ugliest accent I have ever heard. Surely she was faking. Typically, I love hearing British Islanders talk. It is cool.

I think that "ya think?" should be banned. Makes my blood boil, and it is never funny. It is always some spoiled, smart-arse chick saying it too.
