Dear All,
The most appalling aspect of the article is that the English professor who is decrying poor grammar and usage actually said "I go"...
"I get their essays and I go 'You obviously don't know what a sentence fragment is.
You think commas are sort of like parmesan cheese that you sprinkle on your words',"
said Budra.
Horrible! Professor Budra should be ashamed!
the Bach-man
When my ex-wife and I were raising her children we always asked them where they were going when they used this expression. They hated it but they stopped. Plus one for the 'rents.
Many teachers in the school, where I work use the word "Goes" in place of "said".
Then there are the many, many people who use "seen", as in "I seen that the other day" in place of "saw".
