English homework question

Comen agayn?

I don't understand how you can say the English language has degenerated. Perhaps there is a growing number of individuals who exhibit poor use of it, poor grammar, poor spelling and punctuation, or impoliteness by today's standards, or limited vocabulary, but the language itself is ever living, breathing and morphing. It's a wonderful thing. New words come into being and some go by the way side. Grammar changes as the language adapts to our cultural changes. Chaucer's vocabulary, syntax and pronunciation were vastly different than the language modern Brits speak. I think we'd have a hard time understanding each other, but is this bad? I don't think so. Language changes with us and we change the language.

That is the truthiness of my world view.
