British Oscar- actress Emma Thompson has hit out at the slang used by her . The star of Harry Potter and Nanny McPhee movies told the British magazine Radio Times that she thought too many people in Britain didn’t speak . She said a lot of the language she heard on the made people stupid. In particular, the “innit” and “ain’t” her insane. “Innit” started off as a of “isn’t it” but is now used to a whole variety of tag questions, from “wasn’t it” to “don’t we” and “won’t I”. She made her after visiting her old high school. She told the students not to use slang so much, “because it makes you sound stupid and you're not stupid”.

Ms Thompson told her she thought people needed to rethink how important grammar and language are. She said: "We have to , I think, in the idea of articulacy as a of personal human and power.” She didn’t say people should not use slang, but they should remember where and when to use it: "There is the to have two languages – one that you use with your mates and the other that you need in any capacity. Or you're going to sound like [an idiot]," she said. Language say Thompson’s rant was an attack on “teenspeak,” which has developed through messaging and networking sites. Many parents say they don’t understand their children.
