You're in Amurca - Part II

You may recall my January 17th post about a scholarly soul urging Amurcans to sign an online essay to make English the United States’ official language.

Some scholar wrote this in that same thread the other day:

"We do need to ban ESL concepts in public schools. The only way for non-English speaking children to learn EFFECTIVE English to succeed in college and the work environment is immersion in English only."

My response:
”That's just about the stupidest idea I've ever heard. Are you suggesting non-speakers of English be immersed in the American populous to learn the language? Right! The average American citizen can’t write, speak or punctuate his or her way out of a wet paper sack, let alone teach someone English. Just take a look at some of the posts in this thread.”

No Espeeka The Eenglish

So posted some dumbass who calls herself jedimasterwendy (aka Wendy Higgins) in an internet forum. I won’t post a link to the forum, but I will send you to the online petition she urged everyone to sign (my signature is #249): happy reading. Not surprisingly, she doesn’t possess anything close to mastery of the language she so yearns to see become legally official.

Here’s a link to her Myspace page if you want to see some more grammatical blunders. Though most of the content isn't surprising, her claim to be a college graduate is.

Stunning.
