The author of one of the leading textbooks, said Tuesday, grammar is used incorrectly everywhere.
George T. Arnold, former journalism professor at Marshall University and writer of Media Writer’s Handbook said, “I tamper with everything to the point that other people get mad and ask me to leave. He encouraged everyone else to do the same. He said, “It’s important not to embarrass the person when correcting them.”
He gave example stories of situations where grammar was used incorrectly. He said, other grammatical errors that amuse him are when people ask him, “What was your name?” So he replies, “George Arnold and it still is.”
Arnold said, when speaking to other people it is essential to focus on communicating rather than sounding smart. It is unnecessary to use jaw-breaker words. If possible, use the more simple word. Determine what words to use based on the education level of the audience.
Arnold also apologized about the price of his book. He said, he only makes five dollars per copy and he only gets nine free copies. Any additional copies he wants he has to pay full price.
There were 15 people in the audience smiling and laughing when Arnold told a joke. Everyone applaud cheerfully at the end of the speech.
