English language

RahamatAllahi: /* Spelling */ The alphabet is known as the Latin alphabet, rather than Roman alphabet.

The '''English language''' (originating in [[England]]) is the predominant language of the [[United States of America|United States]], the [[United Kingdom]], [[Australia]], [[Canada]] as well as other former members of the [[British Empire]]. Due to the enormous economic, scientific, political and cultural influence of the these nations, English functions as the world's major international language.

==History and Development==

English is considered a member of the Germanic language family, one of the oldest surviving Germanic languages within the North-Sea Germanic/Ingvaeonic sub-grouping of this family, with a vocabulary based upon Saxon, Angle, and Jute descent. The language has changed considerably in its existence; predecessors to modern English are highly distinct and are often mistaken for a completely different language, as evident in Old-English and Middle English. [[French]], amongst other Romance languages, has had a large impact on the language as well, due to the conquest of England by the French speaking Normans in 1066 AD. French also had a great impact on the language as it was the Lingua-Franca, considered so up until [[World War II]] (where English itself became the Lingua-Franca), in subjects such as law, science, philosophy, and politics.

Scholars typically identify several key factors in the development of the language in regards to the insurgence of non-native terminology. These times include the influence of French, mentioned above, the commerce England had with Spain, introducing Spanish to the language, and the effect of the [[Renaissance]] and [[Enlightenment]] period, which brought Latin and Greek based words to the language. Based on the history of the English language, it is sometimes compared to a common [[Creole]] language due to the many factors that have helped it develop over hundreds of years.

After World War II, the rise of the United States as a world superpower led to English replacing French as the Lingua-Franca, becoming the world's most used language for diplomacy, commerce, science, and so forth. Because of this, English is considered the world's most important international language by many.

==Spelling==
English spelling, technically phonetic based on the Latin alphabet, has changed considerably over time. Because England had vast differences in pronunciations and [[dialects]], and because there was no standardized agreement of how to represent each sound nor which Roman letters corresponded to which sound, spelling was quite variable. Standard spellings did not come about until the late seventeenth century. In or around 1828 in the United States, the lexicographer [[Noah Webster]] argued for simplifying some spellings which were no longer phonetic, such as the -our in words such as "colour". Most, though not all, of his proposed changes were adopted, such that US English spelling differs from UK English in some hundreds of instances. UK English spelling is the standard in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and most of the Commonwealth of Nations including Canada and Australia; US English spelling is the standard in the [[United States]] and its territories.

The term "English" may also be used to refer to a person from the United Kingdom born in the country of England, or to describe something from England or with characteristics particular to that place.

The '''video game industry''' is a major entertainment industry that has over $20 billion in annual sales.<ref>http://www.npd.com/press/releases/press_100114.html</ref> Video game sales surpassed [[Hollywood]] revenue in the year 2007.<ref name="Video">http://seekingalpha.com/article/89124-the-video-game-industry-an-18-billion-entertainment-juggernaut</ref>

The biggest one-day movie opening was ''New Moon'', which grossed $72 million on its first day<ref>http://boxofficemojo.com/alltime/days/?page=open&p=.htm</ref>, while the biggest video game opening was ''Call of Duty: Black Ops'', which grossed over $360 million its first day<ref>http://www.gamershell.com/companies/activision/792760.html</ref>, more than most total revenue of most movies. However, it should be taken into consideration that the average video game can cost more than 7 times the average movie ticket (games can exceed $50, often reaching $60).

==Video Games and the Spreading of Liberal Values==
The Video Game Industry has a long history of spreading liberal values to children. The spread of these values has had negative effects on society and children. Video Game Designers seek to promote immoral behavior such as profanity, violence, gambling, alcohol and drug use, theft, premarital sex, extramarital sex, polygamy, and many others.

====Examples====
*Overusing profanity (Many games rated "T" for "teen")
*Having [[Christianity]] used as a means to control the people (''Medieval: Total War and it's sequel, Medieval II: Total War'')
*Meticulous designs of blood and gore (Virtually every game rated for 17+ players, but commonly sold to children younger than 13.)
*Regurgitating disproved liberal myths to the player (''Grand Theft Auto IV'')
*Presenting sanitized versions of other religions, but open hostility to Christianity (''God of War'')
*Letting players get to be terrorists and perform terrorism (''Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2'')
*Allowing players to have fornication with prostitutes (All ''Grand Theft Auto'' video games)
*Depicting graphic sexual acts in hidden modes that can be unlocked by downloadable mods (Hot Coffee Mod: ''Grand Theft Auto San Andreas'')
*Welcoming to more violence, such as providing bonus points for extra murders (''Grand Theft Auto IV'')
*Incidents of "unintentional" programming errors resulting in fully nude characters
*Fornication (''The Sims 3'')
*Typical Liberal use of [[deceit]] (''God of War'')
*Young characters exposed to violence, used to make young children think it is okay (''Red Dead Redemption'')
*Over reliance on violence than story (''Gears of War'')
*Unending waves of incompetent police forces (''Grand Theft Auto IV'')
*Subtle overtones of pro-Islamic messages (''Starcraft II'')
*Liberal [[bullying]] (''Bully'')
*Yiddish used as a "terrorist" language (''Mercenaries II'')
*Deceit is shown as a common and acceptable tactic (''Red Dead Redemption'')
*Overtones of [[Hollywood Values]] (''Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony'')
*Godless protagonists, religious antagonists. (''Sins of a Solar Empire'')
*Young Earth Creationism mocked (''Starcraft II'')
*Sanctity of the human form violated (''Starcraft'')
*Overtones of [[Professor Values]] (''Bully'')
*Underwear worn as everyday clothing (''The Sims 3'')
*Unnecessarily violent torture being used by American soldiers (''Call of Duty: Black Ops'')
