Oh, please. I’m such a meanie. Using proper grammar should be a habit. “I’m so lazy; I can’t even take the time to type some commas. I’ve got too much stuff to do to let some punctuation stand in my way!”
When I said, “Do you wish to continue this argument? If not, I will let this rest. If so, then, you know what to do,” I was not “insinuating that [you] have no business defending [yourself].” I was asking if the hijack should end there, or if we should keep arguing about this. This does seem rather silly in retrospect, and I apologize for hijacking (although, I am probably going to get my ass kicked for “trying to back out of this argument”).
I don’t deny the fact that I was the first to insult you. If you had insulted me first, I probably wouldn’t have taken it too personally. I admit it was childish, and that’s probably what I would have thought of you.
Proper English is required to teach any subject effectively because you must communicate new concepts within the boundaries of the language students already know. “My math teacher doesn’t speak English very well, although it’s her first language. That’s totally okay, however, because she’s teaching me math and not grammar.”
If you agree with the fact that “one who has committed his/her life to education should know and use proper English grammar,” then why do you continue to not do so?
If you wished to prove your point that you are actually able to form grammatically correct sentences, then you should have done so in your responses to me.
Also, you called me “immature.” However, you then sunk to my same “immature” level with these little gems:
**Oh shit it’s the grammar monitor.
…some of us will be waiting for you to fuck up so we can feel grammatically superior too.
Fuckin A I know what to do.**
To Techchick68: Yes, I actually could be more picky. I could point out that you should have said, "This is the Pit**,** not a nomination for the Pulitzer Prize.
