| Do you find the grammar used in public statements is atrocious these days? I cringe nearly every day at the obvious errors made in newspaper, television and radio reports. Today an instruction to a group I am associated with stated that for a performance the Band was to wear "Uniform: Marching Shirt no hats, pants, shoes etc". This was written by a lawyer who I would have thought would have a high standard of English. (I commented "Wow, that will get the Band some publicity!") I made a joke of it, but really it is quite appalling. |
