Whatever the future may hold for English,it has proved to be
eminently suitable for almost all forms of written expression as well as
for everyday use,It is sure to develop and change,for such is the
nature of a living language,Probably it will become increasingly informal,
under the impact of mass education and the mass media,Thus the
written and the spoken forms of the language will be drawn closer
together,making for greater flexibility,In the view of some,English
might in time become the one generally accepted international language.
