Just saw this on facebook

Y’all President said he is thinking about giving a Pardon to Muhammad Ali. Problem is, the Supreme Court overturned Ali’s Draft Evasion conviction in 1971, therefore there is no conviction to Pardon. That dumb ****.

must the rest of the country engage southern slack jaw as if it's cute? It's you all...if anything. Don't sound stupid...dt is enough for the time being. The red states down south have done more than enough to dim down the rhetoric and spelling. Love my cousins, but, they talk lazy. JUST MY OPINION. English is a beautiful language...hopefully they start using it. Russian will sound worse.

I don't mean to be critical. When we sit back and take it like it's normal, we all get dumber. Attacks on teachers, Southern Repubs....mistreatment of minorities....I'm just tired of cajoling myself. Cringeworthy.

I understand diversity. Just seems strange in print sometimes. When you hear it it flies in and out. I know I personally took English on purpose to TRY to speak, (and to a lesser extent write...tsk tsk.), the language myself. When right wnjs go off about speaking the language if you come 'here' being America,......just seems ironic at times, and worthy of a post.
Teachers work hard, and language teachers understand an even higher tier of scholarly conscription. I'm not saying anyones bad. Just seemed weird to have someone actually TYPE it in knowingly. In the days of the "troll hunters" ...statements that imply location just may have double entendres. I thought it was interesting in the context of what we face ourselves to clear away the chaff.
Please see my signature I guess.
