In "Did you know" video, China will soon become the English-speaking country. As what you mentioned, we knows that any country who speaks English, that country will normally adopt their tone of speaking. For example, Australian English will be slightly different from American English, and also from UK English. English in Europe and America or Australia will be much more different from English in India, Malaysia, or Philippine, because they adopt their first language style as the way of speaking. The same thing, English in China will much more different, then it is a large country, so it will affect the way of English in the world. However, we hope we can still understand each other in the way of communication and English will the biggest language, not Chinese, anymore.</p> <p>college and friendship<br /> <a href="http://sokhom168.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">http://sokhom168.blogspot.com</a> </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/china-might-change-english-as-we-know-it#post-1262 Tue, 29 Dec 2009 19:23:42 +0000 Anonymous 1262@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>China's emergence as a 21st century superpower will change the way English is used internationally, according to language experts at the University of Melbourne.</p> <p>In a book* published last week, Melbourne Graduate School of Education researchers Professor Joseph LoBianco and Dr Jane Orton argue that the world's communications profile will change dramatically because of increased English language learning in China and increased Chinese language learning in the rest of the world.</p> <p>The authors say there are now more Chinese people learning English than there are Americans. But they are learning a 'domesticated' form of the language with English words that have been adopted for social and identity purposes.</p> <p><a href="http://www.universityworldnews.com/article.php?story=2009121810474964" rel="nofollow">http://www.universityworldnews.com/article.php?story=2009121810474964</a> </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/what-websites-do-you-visit-to-get-your-news#post-1131 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:36:30 +0000 Anonymous 1131@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>Nice.

Now that practically all major media outlets are owned by one of like 3 mother corporations... its starting to feel like we live in China. There is absolutely no 3rd party voices involved in mainstream communication now and most sheeple don&#39;t even notice or care... so it just constantly devolves into back-and-forth whining and finger pointing. And they love it, cuz it helps their ratings.</p> <p>We shoulda had some law back in the day against media monopolies... oh wait, we did!</p> <p>Poor America has lost her way... </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/acorn-story-grows-but-mainstream-media-refuse-to-cover-it#post-1013 Tue, 15 Sep 2009 12:33:54 +0000 Anonymous 1013@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>Yeah, I think one part of the video had them discussing how to pass off these South American immigrants as the pimp&#39;s daughters or something along those lines.</p> <p>It seems laughable, but not when you read Huckabee&#39;s statements and realize how true it is.I&#39;ll say that whether you&#39;re getting your news from Fox or CNN, it&#39;s all going to be a biased pile of crap.Ok,exagerration,but I&#39;ve had enough of the misinformation from both sides. </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/acorn-story-grows-but-mainstream-media-refuse-to-cover-it#post-1011 Tue, 15 Sep 2009 02:48:48 +0000 Anonymous 1011@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>Update: Huckabee says that &quot;Journalism is dead&quot;...</p> <p><a href="http://politico.com/news/stories/0909/27125.html" rel="nofollow">http://politico.com/news/stories/0909/27125.html</a> </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/acorn-story-grows-but-mainstream-media-refuse-to-cover-it#post-1008 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 23:54:16 +0000 Anonymous 1008@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>[i]From the organization that Obama just awarded millions of dollars in tax money during the &quot;bailout&quot; :([/i]</p> <p><a href="http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2009/09/14/dan-gainor-acorn-media-ignore/" rel="nofollow">http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2009/09/14/dan-gainor-acorn-media-ignore/</a></p> <p>Dan Gainor - FOXNews.com - September 14, 2009</p> <p>ACORN Story Grows But Mainstream Media Refuse to Cover It</p> <p>Bruce Springsteen once wrote: “From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come).” I doubt he expected that story of love gone wrong would become ideal political commentary for the group known as ACORN. </p> <p>The small scandal showing an embarrassing video of Baltimore ACORN staffers looking like they were giving tax advice on how to set up a brothel, is now national news. -- This story has everything you could ever want – corruption, sleazy actions at tax-funded organizations, firings, government ties, sex, hookers. It is a network news director’s dream. Imagine the ratings!</p> <p>Only almost no one is covering it. </p> <p>This is the news media in the era of Van Jones and President Obama. The major outlets cover what they want and create the themes they want. When they find something inconvenient, they let it pass. They didn’t like the Van Jones story, so they ignored it. The network news media liked the financial entity known as Fannie Mae, so they ignored that scandalous organization for years. ACORN is getting the same treatment.</p> <p>But it isn’t working any more. The ACORN fiasco has now impacted three offices – Baltimore, Washington and New York – with laugh-out-loud videos reminiscent of the hookers and pimps from the 1970s “Starsky and Hutch” show. Huggy Bear returns! Four employees have been fired, with more likely to come. And the controversy was so laughably bad that the Census Bureau cut off all ties to the group known formally as the &quot;Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.&quot; -- They called it the “tipping point” to shed themselves of ACORN. More nuts for someone else, I guess.</p> <p>And yet. And yet it’s still been ignored by the network news. Nothing on ABC, CBS or NBC. The only thing any one of the three broadcast networks has done appeared in a blog post by ABC’s Jake Tapper. It&#39;s hardly worth noting except to show that the networks know about what’s going on. They just don’t care to report it. Only FOX News has bothered to report on the controversy.</p> <p>The video scandal is only part of the fiasco that is this Saul Alinsky-esque community group. Just last week CNN reported that other ACORN employees were arrested in Florida. “Arrest warrants were issued Wednesday for 11 Florida voter registration workers who are suspected of submitting false information on hundreds of voter registration cards, according to court documents,” said CNN.</p> <p>That’s typical. The Web site &quot;Rotten ACORN&quot; is devoted to election fraud complaints against the organization. The site’s map shows 14 different states where complaints have been filed. The last time any one of the broadcast networks talked about that was before the 2008 presidential election. That was NBC on Nov. 1. Nothing since.</p> <p>Yes, the newspapers have taken a passing glance at the video story. The Post wrote about the firings in D.C. The New York Times ran a story by the Associated Press. Nothing more. I am underwhelmed. At least the Times covered it this time. With Jones, the Times waited until he had resigned to report he was under fire.</p> <p>What’s worse with ACORN is that we’re paying for all this. At least in part. The Washington Examiner writes that they “found that ACORN has received at least $53 million in federal money since 1994.”</p> <p>For its own part, ACORN naturally blamed someone else. In this case, FOX News, calling itself “their Willy Horton for 2009.” The ACORN state reads like a paranoid’s interpretation of the videos. Here’s Bertha Lewis, Chief Organizer, for the group:</p> <p>“The relentless attacks on ACORN&#39;s members, its staff and the policies and positions we promote are unprecedented. An international entertainment conglomerate, disguising itself as a ‘news’ agency (FOX), has expended millions, if not tens of millions of dollars, in their attempt to destroy the largest community organization of Black, Latino, poor and working families in the country. It is not coincidence that the most recent attacks have been launched just when health care reform is gaining traction. It is clear they&#39;ve had these tapes for months.”</p> <p>Yeah, all that about under-aged prostitution, corruption and government connections isn’t news. People are just out to get ACORN. No wonder their name symbolizes a kind of nut. Too bad the rest of the media don’t want us to know that.</p> <p>Dan Gainor is The Boone Pickens Fellow and the Media Research Center’s Vice President for Business and Culture.
