Not only do they break every grammar rule, but these days, they get to insert their own opinions into every story. That is NOT what I was taught in journalism school!

But as a trained missionary/translator, we know all language is organic and we have to accept change. We just don't have to like it. Thanks for writing!

Imagine a carpenter using a hammer to turn a screw. That's the first clue to look elsewhere.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16206585604122387398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193745359560427451.post-17346919181346373722022-04-14T03:11:59.846-07:002022-04-14T03:11:59.846-07:00I too cringe when I hear the English language bein...I too cringe when I hear the English language being decimated. Do you believe or think that Hebrew was the original language from the Creation to Babel?

Their editors are just as much to blame. Language is the tool of their trade and they cannot use that tool correctly. I often can be heard talking back to the t.v. or radio correcting their grammar. It makes my ears hurt. Don't even get me started on the ordinary person. My son gave me a tee shirt printed with, "In my head I am correcting your grammar right now." I guess I have a reputation...Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16206585604122387398noreply@blogger.com
