Interesting article about the American people’s lack of grammatical skills
thanks to Nicole at A Capital Idea.
Not really sure the blame should be placed on the linguists though. Seems
more like it should be placed on the departments of Education that
misappropriated the theory in the first place.
And yes, I know my grammar is not perfect. I fall right into the early group
screwed up by the scenario described in the article. My sister who is less than
2 years older than me parsed many a sentence in elementary school while I parsed
nary a one.
