Just take a moment to appreciate the glory of the English language...... English is the language of Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, William Wordsworth, Thomas More, (and Henry Higgins!) Not to mention Walt Whitman, Mark Twain, Longfellow & Louisa May Alcott . It is truly sad that in schools today our language is not taken seriously, and those who speak it well are looked upon as "cukes". (sorry, I had to!) How hard is it to use "I" only in the nominative case and "me" in the objective? And how many times must one explain that in most instances, "good" is an ADJECTIVE?!?!?!?! English is being watered down by a slow but toxic starving of the human mind... How often does the average American have to pick up the dictionary just to read Shakespeare?? What has happened to all the words like infantile, mendicant, pertinacious, diffidence? It is better not to read and write at all, than to abuse the language of your heritage.
Go have an exemplary day now!!
