Au contraire, I think it's a dire shame that we not teach children (I myself am 17) to use proper grammar. The state of the World's speech is looking pretty bleek. I don't know if you work as a teacher or something similar, but there has been a huge rise recently in children using "slang terms" such as "u" meaning "you" and "r" meaning "are" in exams and schoolwork, simply because the only time they ever read anything is when texting. It is appaling and anyone who thinks otherwise needs their head surgically removed from elsewhere in their anatomy.
It is not wrong, and we must continue to fight the good fight. Grammar and spelling is the baseline to define a well educated human being. These traits are being lost though, and it is a very troubling idea that the english language as we know it could disappear forever.Is it wrong to suggest to our youth that they learn how to use correct grammar and spelling when they publish?
I call the phenomenon verbal economics, the straightest path to communication. We opened the door when okay became ok and all right became alright. And, you ain't seen nothin' yet!
Apparently, it's wrong to teach anyone under the age of 30 to do so.Is it wrong to suggest to our youth that they learn how to use correct grammar and spelling when they publish?
No, it's not wrong.
Thank you.
That is all.
I agree with you on this.
