My native language English is my native language. As an American, and a native english speaker, I want to write about something which comes to mind when I think of the word native. For much of my life, when I have heard the word native, it has been used in the context of speaking of native American indians. That is not a bad thing, and neither is this a history lesson on what I know or have been taught about native American indians. I find it interesting that, depending on the context or the surrounding of a conversation or something written, the same word can involve different concepts. As a native speaking American, I love the English language. I believe it is a beautiful language, and it is capable of expressing many wonderful ideas. It can be used to express simple ideas, and also very complex ideas.
