[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grammar isn’t really taught anymore in public school. [/quote] My 6th grader has sentences to diagram this weekend. Personally, I consider think that is teaching grammar.[/quote] Good writing instruction is a much, much better way to teach grammar. When you have to write it correctly, in context, it really sticks in your head. Womp womp. But I will say that plenty of people who have standard American English grammar in writing speak in their colloquial accents. I suppose that's code-switching? Anyway, while you might learn to use standard, prescribed grammar in formal writing, you can still use your colloquial grammar in speech and informal writing and I'm of the persuasion that there is nothing wrong with that.
