Opinion on Why do Academics Continue to Insist on Proper English


Based off the articles most of the professors disagree with different parts of Dennis Baron article. People should still learn the difference between “good” and “bad” English. Command mistakes like knowing the tense of the paper or the difference between “it” and “it’s” are small issues that shouldn’t happen as much. Though people phrase things differently doesn’t mean that it is technically wrong because it still gets the point across. Knowing the difference between proper English and slang in some way affects a person getting a job. Talking slag all the time compared to proper English can be the reason why a person gets a job or not. Once they get the job speaking will not do anything to their paycheck.
