In grad school, I came across a professor who said bad spelling, grammar and punctuation are still legitimate forms of communication and promptly made him my advisor. I used to teach inner city high school, and I told my kids, "The way you talk isn't wrong, but I need to give you the skills to get hired, and if you can't write or speak clearly enough to be understood, you aren't going to get a decent job." Part way through the year, the kids started trying to teach me how to "Speak ghetto," and then laughing hysterically when I tried. I figured it was fair; if they were going to learn my language, it was only fair that I learned to speak theirs.I have sat through two youtube seminar classes on Writing theory and what was once supposed to be stringent was wrong; i.e. used improperly/ I mean properly.
