Well, I think grammar mistakes in speaking are inevitable.
I fall victim of saying words like "You was" or "He don't" all the time because I tend to mix up singular and plural when I am talking. Especially in an unprepared speech when I am nervous, my grammar is really screwed up. At least I will try to speak in proper grammar during formal interviews, etc. How about you, do you speak in proper grammar? |

Im black by the way.. It is soo annoying when I get asked that.. Its a little offensive. |

Anyways, fortunately for me, I go to a predominantly white all girls private boarding school. Yeah, I know. Anyways, I always speak in proper grammar. Everyone at my school does. However, funnily enough, I always have, ever since I was young. Maybe its due to the fact that I've always attentended Proper British Schools where grammar and proper english is prime. |
