Hi,
In another tile, Don and I had a brief discussion on slang (reproduced in the next post in this tile). However, it seems to me that the subject is a very wide one and has big implications for all writers. So what do you think about slang? Do you / would you use it and, if so, when? What are the dangers and advantages of using it? Please post your thoughts in this tile. Oh the sub-title?? "mince pies" is Cockney (London) rhyming slang for eyes. James. |
