Someone asked in this homeschooling section:
How do I know if homeschooling is the right choice for me and my son?
Somebody (nicky 7372) replied, "After the way you worded that question, I'd be sending him to school for English!"
Now, there is a very small error in that sentence. I'm curious to know if people actually know what it is or if they only think they know. Or if people can actually see the error. Perhaps where Nicky lives, these errors aren't rampant, but here, the wording is very much the kind of thing we hear on tv and read in the newspaper .
I'm also curious to know why someone might think a parent shouldn't homeschool simply because of the wording of the above question. Do you think it's really that bad? Is one sentence indicative of a person's inability to use English correctly? I had English teachers who used "I" and "myself" incorrectly and some who never used "whom". No person has perfect grammar. No place is a guarantee for learning it.
