The French have that base covered already.

It seems like not a day goes by without me reading about some new absurdity. I ran across an article written by some left-wing lunatic who purports to be an English teacher and who is part of what she calls the “social justice movement”. She writes for a blog called Everyday Feminist. She claims that demanding that everyone speak proper English grammar is “grammar snobbery” and is oppressive and racist. Why is it oppressive and racist? Because the dictionary was written by a white supremacist, heteropatriarchal system:

Did you know that “QNP” stands for Quick Ni##er Please”?...............................Probably get kicked off FR for that one. :)
You mean cuz I don’t got good grammar it’s goodley now?.
“I’ll bet she doesn’t have a car.”
If she does its a prius or smart car no doubt.
Grammar win.
Math fail.
Try listening to people that use the wrong words.
Keep your ears peeled for the wrong use of then when they mean that, too. If you like liberal-speak, listen to ads that use the word "deserve". It doesn't matter if you're a deadbeat, you "deserve" a free cell phone paid for with my tax dollars. Idiots...
Just look at news stories posted on MSM websites. Proofreading is a lost art.
It can NEVER be the case the the "protected class" members need to try harder, or else admit that they have lots of people who can never meet the standard at the same level as white/Asian males.
Yes, but such people are in actual and probably perpetual control of every aspect of our society. We lost without even a fight.
I don’t have much of a problem with this actually.
I may not be perfect in my grammar, but I take it seriously and think I do pretty well relative to the rest of the general population. And I’m always trying to improve.
I’m instilling the same seriousness and discipline in my kids. Who are both considered amongst the top writers in their grades. Which will, in the long run, put them at a major competative advantage over the kids being “taught” by teachers such as this. Because her stupid little proglodyte mindset doesn’t, and will never, fly in the real world of corporate and business operations.
Yes it is. The irony is lost on them that the concept is also inherently racist.
There’s a language of technology and business. Like it or not, it is English. Successful people around the world, regardless of color, are all good communicators. Being able to articulate difficult concepts is critical.
Having a standard that doesn’t encourage this harms them. The real racist issue is believing they’re not capable of it.
Yet they attacked Megan Trainor for her “blackcent.” It’s racist for white people to expect proper grammar, and racist when white people speak black. Smh.
Banging their heads against walls would be more productive as well as more satisfying.

Because it is simply a fact of reality that in a modern free rational society, survival and life proper to a rational being requires certain skills,knowledge, abilities,and virtues.Being able to speak and write proper English is one of those abilities.And to evade a fact of reality is irrational.
They still want the outcomes of jobs and wages, but they don't want to lay the foundation of a basic education first. They don't want to add and subtract for themselves, they don't want to know how the world works around them, and now they don't even want to be bothered with communicating with others.
Just give them stuff.

Who knew. Effective, accurate and widely understood communication in English is racist.
Heh. Case in point....
Naw, MoFo, days bee seein yous bees ah creepyass cracka.
The problem with this attitude is consistency. The English language and its grammar have developed over years, and rules establish consistency and clarity of communication.
Ebonics snips off and simplifies so much vocabulary and syntax that it is imprecise. Worse, it’s not codified. I doubt that today’s ebonics speaker could be understood by one 20 years from now.
Contracts in ebonics will be a real trip.
