Sounds like a lot of Freepers here who complain about the "Grammar Nazis."
But seriously, this article is further evidence that attending the moron factories formerly known as "college" is an absolute waste of time and money, unless you are a STEM major, and your classes aren't taught by professors/teaching assistants who teach that man-made global warming has been proven by science.
You mean cuz I don’t got good grammar it’s goodley now?.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
A PLAN FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF ENGLISH SPELLING
by Mark Twain
For example, in Year 1 that useless letter “c” would be dropped to be replased either by “k” or “s”, and likewise “x” would no longer be part of the alphabet.
The only kase in which “c” would be retained would be the “ch” formation, which will be dealt with later.
Year 2 might reform “w” spelling, so that “which” and “one” would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish “y” replasing it with “i” and iear 4 might fiks the “g/j” anomali wonse and for all.
Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants.
Bai iear 15 or sou, it wud fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi ridandant letez “c”, “y” and “x” — bai now jast a memori in the maindz ov ould doderez — tu riplais “ch”, “sh”, and “th” rispektivli.
Fainali, xen, aafte sam 20 iers ov orxogrefkl riform, wi wud hev a lojikl, kohirnt speling in ius xrewawt xe Ingliy-spiking werld.
The United States is circling the bowl and going down.
The stupidity of the clowns defending Ebonics miss the point that even if the people speaking Ebonics can understand each other, nobody else can. Ebonics speakers are virtually unemployable in the market place.
How’s this for proper English grammar? A beautiful love ballad from Dr. Dre, a Democrat homey. Warning! Do not open link if you’re offended by filth. And this guy is worth millions.

And this from Obama’s homey Jay-Z who attended Obama’s fiftieth birthday. Nice, real nice!
