The correct term is “We-uns”

This quack study is probably going to be cited as gospel in our universities. Sample sizes of 10 are fine if your study is for a good cause!

I can’t wait to see what happens to liberals when they try to inform Muslims or illegals about how to use a plural possessive pronoun! The Muslim will respond with a singular possessive pronoun and follow that up with a knife slice to the throat.

Aren't these the same people that tell us it is racist to correct black and Hispanic students' grammar and spelling mistakes in their school work?

Ever try to have an online discussion with a liberal on some political topic of the day? It is ad hominem, ad infinitum, ad nauseam.

DIMS are incredibly insecure and need to concoct studies such as this to feel better about themselves.

Notably, my students, who are almost uniformly registered Democrats, can barely put two words together.

I don’t know who suffers more from the class essay requirement: My students while they are writing it; or me, trying to read what they wrote.

Do you get the occasional gems such as this.

“Imagine a world without war, without strife, without hatred, without hunger, imagine a veritable Ethiopia.”

written circa 1972 BC (before computers) for a freshman English course

Depends on where you live; here it’s “we-all”. :)

I suspect a lot of Democrats are English majors. Beyond being able to correctly punctuate swear words on Twitter, their degrees are about as worthless as teats on a boar.

Odd, every discussion group I see that is populated by democrats is jammed with spittle-flecked rants chock-full of badly written and misspelled English.

I don’t believe it. My guess is that this was a study with a preconceived outcome.

In school, I had the worst handwriting and got bad grades consistently. It never improved. In my mind, the purpose of writing was to get your ideas down on paper as quickly as possible before the ideas faded. I had a lot to say.

That’s pretty terrible.

I get more narcissistic ramblings—The most common theme among them being he said he loved me until I got pregnant and he ran out.

It’s quite sad; but, at the same time, these women are back in school and trying to make something out of themselves and their lives.

hmmm... studying the differences between the two with regard to the changes in zeitgeist might be worth some serious grant money.

Revolutionary world changers vs Kardashian dreams shattered.

Hell, should be worth three or four grants with careful editing of the proposal.

I’m too old, feel free to go for it.

A better survey would have evaluated the literacy of each of the members of Congress, by political persuasion.

Thanks, but I’m no spring chicken myself.

The professor gig is part of my glide path into retirement.

I don’t know... but four grants at 75-100k could be nice. And think of all the LOLS! from reading those papers. A shout out to MLA and you’d get tons of material. And maybe a book...

:>)
