    This was too funny not to post it here, Hitler and the Grammar Nazis… disclaimer: not for the easily offended

    A good video about grammar in songs. :grin:

    But I am confused at why learning “grammar “is an issue in the United States.

    How can you put a coherent sentence together if you don’t know
    the basic rules?

    You don’t learn English via osmosis.You learn and practice it. In reading, writing and conversation.

    But it seems to be an issue at universities, where arts, languages etc are under funded, also known as “under paid”.

      koalabear, people seem to feel that the idea of “good grammar” is a way of segregating people.. a way of making someone feel low class and someone else upper class (exclusion).. and that certain groups of people may purposefully use a certain “type” of grammar to “fit in” with others in the same group. (And what’s funny, is that, by trying to fight the system of “proper” grammar, a new form of grammar is then created, which has its rules as well – much like how punk rockers wanted to be different, but ended up the same in their own group, grunge, emo’s, etc..).

      BUT… I do believe that there are certain rules that need to be followed in grammar… otherwise, what’s the point of even teaching grammar (or language for that matter) in school? I almost feel that this attack on the idea of “good grammar” is almost an attack on eduction as a whole.

      I feel that grammar rules allow children to be taught the structure of their language.. and if you standardize these rules, you can teach everyone in a particular language to be able to communicate with each other. If you do away with standardization, I feel that you actually run the risk of creating GREATER segregation, as different groups will sound totally different and may even have trouble communicating with each other… which is the exact opposite effect that those opposed to the idea off “bad grammar” want to see happen.

      Definitely a controversial topic that I didn’t realize was as controversial until this video came out :-)

        I totally agree.
        I also worry, that if students are not taught grammar they will consider English to be a difficult subject to be avoided, rather than enjoyed.

        I hope you enjoy making the videos as much as we enjoy watching them.

        All the best.

        Dearest Marina :smile: you explain it very well & I wonder if you believe that with such a large area
        accents play a very large role since the vocalization (sound)
        can & often are different{ being from bklyn N.Y.} accents have played a large part for me during my many years of travling . this country anyway :mrgreen: B.B.
