When I was out on Tartan Day I met a lady who didn't know what a tartan was and, although she recognised the kilt, she didn't know the name of it or that it was okay for men to wear (I've stopped telling people it's actually for men and it's okay for women to wear it).

Sigh. What do they teach in English class these days?
I had a debate with a prof one day: I was saying that the accurate use of the language is important, he said it wasn't.

"We have to value other people's ideas, even if that person doesn't use the language well."

"That may be true but, if the language is not used accurately, the valuable idea may not be understood."

I wrote on the board 'there home' and asked "What is that supposed to mean?" He said that was a bad example (although it's one I see constantly) and insisted that he was right. A university professor who insisted that poor use of the language was a good thing. What chance do we have? Their is going two bee know hope four hour language if wee keep this up.
