to be frankAnd going my experience as a copywriter/journalist/teacher/academic, it's really a waste of time to preach good grammar and punctuation to the masses, just as it is to correct an old man who says "nigger" in the supermarket. Most people just don't care and don't even notice bad English. Just look at all hideous song lyrics and scripts on TV. I correct texts written by high-powered lawyers (not Ms Swipe I hasten to add), accountants and medics - none of whom are much good at grammar or punctuation. Think they care?
By all means teach kids. But we teach kids Shakespeare, too, and you know how much they appreciate that.
