It's very difficult nowadays to instil a sense of pride in ones language (which means not abusing it) in the young. They know what they mean and they can communicate with their friends and family and that is all that seems to matter to youngsters today.ManicScribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08528286761500899521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13477061.post-40730250790296049882012-10-16T05:15:46.330-05:002012-10-16T05:15:46.330-05:00Oh,how I agree with this!

Yes, there are times when the rules can be broken e.g. in everyday speech we often end sentences with prepositions, but unless you know the 'rules' you don't know which can be broken and which shouldn't. I've lost count of how many times I cringe at 'dangling modifiers'!

It's as good as saying his job is obsolete!<br />Just imagine, many generations from now-if we follow his logic-we will be reduced to the grunts of a caveman as way of communication, because the downfall might start with grammar, but surely more will follow. <br />*RANT OVER*<br />Bedtime Su Halfwerkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17705024274066656389noreply@blogger.com
