Language is the beautifully complex way that humans communicate with one another. Meanings and translations differ from region to region, but there is no denying the necessity of language for daily communication and meaningful relationships. People tend to think of the English language as improper and somewhat ugly, but English has some beautiful vocabulary available for use!
