It's your language. You use it every day. You should strive to master it. My late mother, a 27-year, graduate-level professor of English, embedded that in my brain once upon a time. I’m not nearly as smart as she was, but I’m sharp enough to recognize that the vast majority of native-born Americans can’t speak or write English worth a lick.

There Was...Really
"There was at least two guns here." --Kristina de Leon, WOAI news, while reporting in the field
Ahh...WOAI, again. I wonder if the reporters at this station are required to have a degree in journalism, English or anything that has to do with reporting the news.

It really is stunning. They're my most frequent flyer.
Man, I need to move to SA to catch this stuff. Either that or start actually watching the Dallas news because I'm pretty sure ours are just as bad.
