Poor grammar shows the ignorance of a liberal education.

You may say a cat uses good grammar. Well, a cat does -- but you let a cat get excited once; you let a cat get to pulling fur with another cat on a shed, nights, and you'll hear grammar that will give you the lockjaw. Ignorant people think it's the noise which fighting cats make that is so aggravating, but it ain't so; it's the sickening grammar they use.

Clearly she has never taken a foreign language. If she had she would know that there are universal grammar rules.

Our HR lady could count the amount of grads who still cannot differentiate between “loose” and “lose”. There were even a couple of 40-ish guys who took the spell test and failed it miserably.

An inability to speak well will always be a handicap, and anyone who pretends otherwise is no friend to those he or she would keep in ignorance. If a certain dialect or manner of speaking is something that you wish to keep, to use with family and friends, by all means you can keep it for that reason. But, make no mistake, the larger world does not embrace it, and it has nothing to do with skin color.

We have a very famous influential member of the American right who everyday repeatedly abuses the word literally and that person is Rush Limbaugh.

it doesn’t matter if he tried for 20 years to mend his ways, he is constitutionally incapable of using the word correctly.

it really is too bad because Rush Truck continually try to improve himself and his daily bread and butter is the use of words.

I am a huge fan, still.

Sorry there, Mona Bologna, but we refuse to let you drag us down to your sub-level of existence.

You want to go through life acting like your low IQ fans, go for it.

Real people pass on such puerile behavior.

Loved the first comment...

“Lets eat grandma!”

“Lets eat, grandma!”

Proper grammar saves lives.

I wonder what the Guardian’s response would have been if they had been told that cockney should replace the King’s English.
