This weekend, I encountered three stellar examples of how our system of education provides. In order:
- I heard a college student use the phrase curled up in the fetus position.
- I heard a fan say ignorantest to describe a poor call by an ACC official in Virginia Tech’s win against Cincinnati.
- I read this quote by Macho Harris. He’s explaining how he finally made one of the big plays expected of him.
“I knew it, but I wasn’t pressurizing myself about it,” Harris said. “I knew my chance would come.”
Why bother teaching the English language if these are the results we can expect?
We need to reign that stuff in.
I’m laughing. Excellent comment.
