“Because you’ve got to go and get your education. You’ve got to.”

You would think that a graduate of Princeton and Harvard would know that “You have to” is sufficient and more correct than you got or you have got. At one time, got was completely unacceptable and should be avoided still. Furthermore, when ever you can omit a word you should. These rules may not seem like much and certainly her meaning is clear, but when you are speaking of education I think you should make a concerted effort to speak correctly. She does not sound well educated to me.

Avoid got, unless you are Teddy Pendergrass: “You got, you got, you got what I need!”

Have you read Mochelle's senior thesis??

It's written on a 4th grade level.

Did you ever read her undergraduate thesis from Princeton? The best education in the world couldn’t make her literate.
