@teachergoals Whilst I won't write it, and don't like it: language changes, and you can't stop it.

Bet that at least one of them would correct ‘less’ to ‘fewer’.
Wasn’t disappointed.
#Prescriptivism is so predictable…

Is this an email from Amazon offering to sell me a platform from which I can observe fraudsters? Or is it telling me I should look out (which normally has a space) for them?

(It's a real email.)
This is how Ofsted inspectors are trained to respond to teachers who resist standard language ideologies. Note how they use guises of 'social justice' to do this, perpetuating the myth that if marginalised people would just modify their voice, this will solve social inequalities.
I’d add that the “grammar” correction of her apology currently doing the rounds is classist, discriminatory nonsense which does nothing to improve anyone’s life other than giving a few snobs the opportunity for a belly-laugh. #prescriptivism
I couldn’t give a toss about Andrea Jenkyns sticking up her middle finger. If only there was so much outrage over actual Tory policies which drive people into poverty and misery.
Classic British politics: fury over tone and style rather than content!
AAE (Black English): Dialect or Language❓️ #weoutchea #gullah #geechee #linguistics #linguicism #prescriptivism https://t.co/4XdsojpPJb
Why couldnt chaucer just write normal English?? #prescriptivism
Nice overview of insertion of consonants in certain words which if they've happened in standard varieties are considered "correct" but are judged "wrong" in non-standard #dialects.
As often the case with #prescriptivism there's no logic to the judgments! 🙄

Important work by @ian_cushing and @SnellJulia 👏

https://t.co/x9PgzSCUNp We built a corpus of over 100,000 Ofsted inspection reports for this work. There’s so much more to do with this data. For example, here’s an example of accent discrimination targeting the speech of young boys in an economically deprived area of Manchester.
"For much of history, the vast majority of language was spoken.” So this short video by @AndreeaCalude for @TEDTalks asks whether grammar actually matters. Watch it here: https://t.co/KrHVxJobWP #prescriptivism #descriptivism
