There is nothing humorous enough to stop the grammar police. We have no sense of humor. We will not be amused. And you cannot stop us.

ok
1. asshat – my new favorite word.

2. this is so NOT the commentary I expected to see on such a picture. How much more flamboyant and ridiculous would a person have to be to entertain internet grammar police enough to keep their minds of the spelling of “to”? You people crack me up. As well as also being a total buzzkill. Just let me enjoy the picture!

“The next is Evolution. If you are a Darwinist, then there should be no need for homosexuality, since relationships, and eventually, sex, are only needed for procreation.”
Here’s another thing he needs to fix- Darwinism is about evolution of species, not procreation, therefore homosexuality is unrelated to Darwinism, regardless of whether it makes sense or not.
Also, humans are one of the species that mates for pleasure, Chrono, because Darwin is probably right about Evolution, yes, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be circumvented. Haven’t you been to Wal-mart recently?
There are plenty of religions that openly accept homosexuality, Chrono, you just need to look for them. Trust me- there are quite a few, despite what the Catholic Church may want it to look like.

Jane,

e.e. cummings definitely has Voice. But he could write eloquently in standard English, too. (The Enormous Room) Alice Walker, too; compare The Color Purple to Meridian.

No writer can truly give Voice, without a strong foundation in English Composition – spelling grammar. What does it mean to spell something “wrong” if you don’t know how to spell it right?

And I couldn’t “hear” either of those voices without a solid foundation in standard English, either.

If you want to paint with words, you have to know how to use ALL the brushes and ALL the colors.

I’ve seen some traditional bellydance on youtube–very, very impressive. And rather buttoned-up clothing, too.
I’ve also been in the audience of a somewhat ‘provocative’ bellydance…and what a pro! She managed to be a little bit naughty, without offending anyone. Good group social control, entertainment, and impressive dancing skills in one package.

In that same vein, I had a friend “correct” me for using the proper use of “too” once. I had previously noticed his errors and when I replied to him using the word correctly (not giving him crap, mind you, it was just part of the response) I was told I was doin’ it wrong. He was a friend from high school and I know he was taught what the correct words were, I was in his English class for several years.

“how to properly use grammar” = split infinitive
“would be ok if it was spelled right” = conditional (“were,” not “was”)

Out of curiosity, what kind of things do your kids read? I loved books as a kid, but these days I get most my reading from the internet, magazines, and video games. Newspapers, sometimes. Magazines aren’t too bad for reading to pick up on standard grammar–they come in tons of topics and articles are short.

BTW, good on you for allowing nonstandard grammar in your classroom. There’s a lot of situations where it’s appropriate–like, say, brainstorms or note-taking. I remember having to work very hard to conjole my Freshman year English teacher into not penalizing me for using “improper” English to reflect dialect. Honestly, in a classroom with copies of Huckleberry Finn, it should have been a no-f***ing-brainer.

If I might interject, let’s not forget that the very same sort of politician squandered his own education by not fulfilling his own academic potential. In the meantime, his legacy acceptance into the Academy denied another, likely more deserving person, a chance to excel in his stead.

By: slanagat

slanagat — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 22:04:55 +0000

You make a point worth considering here. As long as the sort of politician who can’t keep track of how many houses he owns has the option of sending his kids to private schools, it’s that much harder to hold his feet to the fire about properly funding and developing public education.
