However, you could become mayor of NYC. Apparently, proper grammar is no prerequisite.

Compared to some other big city mayors, Bloomberg is an English scholar... faint praise, I understand.

But the man does have a good point. I run into far to many young people today with very limited communication skills. I'm an old guy I admit, but poor grammar was simply not acceptable when I was in school. Back in the neighborhood, you could revert to the local norm if necessary, but in school, only standard American English was acceptable. We all learned it and prospered.

To become mayor of NYC you have to have a command of the English language or, alternatively, you can have made billions of dollars. In the latter case, you don’t gotta speak no good English.

THIS is the piece of steaming excrement who is PROUD of NYC being a "sanctuary city" and who impedes the arrest/deportation of illegal aliens. Heck they even have high schools devoted to Hispanic, Chinese, etc. "immigrants". The halls in these high schools are festooned with posters such as "Columbus didn't discover America...he INVADED America" and other such rah-rah-America stuff (not!). Other posters demand immigration rights and a halt to stop and frisk.

What a nerve then, to complain about improper grammar use by NYers. They don't even speak ENGLISH, fool!
