She Speaks So Well: A Rant on the Importance of Good Grammar



(09.02.11)

So the other day, a friend of mine, Dana, posts a message confessing that she judges whether or not she'll accept a friend request by the person's mastery of the English language. And, ya'll know me, I see nothing wrong with that. Hell, I'll even DELETE a friend I know in the "real world" if their English is horrible. It's one thing to use slang and vernacular, it's another thing entirely to consistently use the wrong "their/there/they're" or "too/to/two" or "you're/your." Consistent improper grammar, spelling, and punctuation demonstrates a lack of education to me. And those that lack fundamental English skills are not those that I care to have in my stratosphere.

This is a complete rant and maybe I'm just in a bad mood right now because my ... well ... just because -- it's not something I particularly want to share right now -- not with the whole world. Maybe I'll write about that on Facebook since I actually know (and like) everybody on there but anyway ...

quote of the moment

"People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them."

-George Bernard Shaw
