I am a grammar police. It's not because I write and speak flawlessly because I know I do not. It's because every one of us is a grammar police, consciously or unconsciously. We find ourselves reacting to misused phrases, wrong enunciated words and faulty dictions. No one can deny it. It's simply innate.
Since it's Sunday today, I spent half of my day sitting down for my review class. So far, we've covered English, Logic and Math stuff in about 10 sessions and we're down to abstract and critical reasoning (which is, by the way, a big headache). Meaning, that whatever I write here did not come from our English instructor. I would have let it passed if the rest of my classmates were not reacting on it. But they kept on snickering! I am a good student so instead of conspicuously talking about my instructor's boo-boos, I wrote it down my notebook. Here are a few:
I do not have something to write on. (She was looking for a marker).
Look something like... (Look for something like).
Find the one most helps (Find the one that helps the most).
It ask you how
Does it directs?
Does it points out?
The way you argues...
Dowing su (Doing so).
... And more.
There goes our 8 thousand pesos! But mind you, she knows her craft well and I think that's what's important. She talks so fast though as if she has memorized everything that it sometimes seems impossible to understand what she's saying. Then again, she's great in teaching super-duper-headache-maker critical reasoning.
