Language is directly related to the power of group of language users. Language changes all the time because of the power of the group of language users. Because of English class, it's become a habit to over analyze even simple tweets on twitter. In one of P. Diddy's recent tweets he used the word "reppin". I often hear this word and if P. Diddy did not have the fame and was not the celebrity that he is, many people would not use "reppin" in place of representing. Another good example of how language is directly related to the power of a group of language users is the movie Mean Girls. During the movie Gretchen Wieners tries to make the word "fetch" something people regularly use when describing something cool or awesome. Gretchen, one of the plastics is not as popular and does not have as much power as Regina George in the plastics group and yells at her saying, "stop trying to make fetch happen!" If Regina George was trying to make "fetch happen" fetch would happen because she has the most power.
