Guest guest Posted May 13, 2006 Report Posted May 13, 2006 Just thought of something. Why don't we have " American Conversational Idol " and have people talking to each other, and whoever makes a grammatical error gets voted off the show. Survivor English as a First Language. Then a teacher, preferably with glasses and a severe hairstyle, can explain WHY it was a mistake. Indeed, you'd cringe to hear what people say. I read a great deal when younger and that is why my writing skills are as good as they are. It is appalling how so many people cannot even talk proper English. I watch a few of the tv court shows and its amazing how poorly many people speak. And sadly, there are NO connections to race or gender. Quote
