As it has been stated, this language is full of extremely unofficial jargon and even cuts of informal culture ‑ bits of rock lyrics, promotion of tinkles, and set phrases of exclusively TV origin. The voice that King’s narrators’ speak is empowered with the language that is highly spoken and easy to comprehend.

When the official language loses its power and appears to be insufficient for the scenes, King retorts to slang, jargon, and other means to avoid literary canons. Since King’s main characters usually use no literary language at all, it might seem impossible to find any official language in his stories, but it should be mentioned that even in spite of the unofficial language, the power of language is immense.
