Seniors for the Future by Florence Wilkinson Anyone brought up by parents and teachers like those who tried to bring me up, must cringe regularly at today’s language usage. One of the best examples of what I mean is the use of the word “kids.” In a recent publication which was introducing the new teachers to the area, the transition of language was quite obvious — either that, or it has become acceptable for the teacher’s of today to use slang. Of the twenty-five teachers written about, nine were definitely quoted as using the word “kids” for stu- dents, and, it was implied, that two others had used the word. Four teachers spoke of “students” and the rest did not get quoted on the sub- ject. Use of the word, when referring to children or students is constant, not only in advertising done to catch the eye, but also in official kinds of information in both TV and other media. My 1982 Pocket Oxford dictionary still list i ae of “kid” to mean “child” as I remember what a eels i of my schoolmates would get if the word “kid” was used to mean child or student. Being called a little goat, or nanny, nanny, nanny would soon shut one up. At home it was not a teasing. It was a scolding. But was I cured of the habit? I am sure that I do not use the word “kid” for “child” as often as some, but I certainly cannot say “not guilty”, nor can many others of my genera- tion. The word kid is a very obvious example of how words change meanings over a time of usage, but there are many expressions or words which gradually take on new meaning, not counting the ones which come and go with the passing fads (such as neat, blast). Is it any wonder that misunderstandings arise? As much as we claim to be tired of the discussion surrounding the constitution, we at least have had a chance to get some of the talking done and some understanding to take place. True, no one will agree with, or understand all, but we have had a chance to, each one, do some of the talking and, each one, do some voting whether we have taken the opportunity or not. In spite of the fact that language changes over the years, and that understanding each other is diffi- cult, working on the constitution has been an effort to leave a better.” heritage for our “kids.” They, in their turn will have the chance to do their talk, talk, talking, and make their decisions oe i next genera- tion of — good: What will ee = called then?
