Vital, and English
The American language (called English, and never called American, though it differs widely from the English spoken in England) is constantly growing. Many new areas of business and technology, such as computing and the Internet, add words to the everyday vocabulary. Distinct social groups also have their own slang and vocabulary. Do not expect every American to speak or write English properly.
