I, as am amateur grammarian, love the comic strips where the mother corrects her son’s grammar. I do that to my children whenever necessary, as well as correct their mispronunciation of words. I don’t do those things in front of others, mind you, but I do them to make sure that they are well spoken. Poor grammar creates the idea in the minds of the listeners that one isn’t intelligent or well educated. I hope that the grammar-based strips continue. (As for the language being fluid, does one want to hear the President, during a speech, use “like” continually? I don’t think so!)
