I agree with Sara, I wanted to throw my book out of the window and curse his name. I mean how much can he rant? As for TV being the decline in the English language, I disagree. I think the TV Popularizes common slang and other grammatical problems but the problem begins with ourselves. It seems like people are just to lazy to speak anymore. There are slang abbreviations for everything.
I think that we get much more of our language from our peers and teachers. The opinion about quiet space defiantly does not apply to me. Personally I can write anywhere, as long as I have Bob Dylan streaming through my Sennheiser headphones.

Tell us more about your thoughts on this, Justin. You're making some great connections but I need more details to follow the argument. For example, why is slang a bad thing? Is it laziness, or is it creativity? What makes certain people (you for instance) uncomfortable with it, while others are not? How do these ideas fit in with the new generation in school right now. Lots more to blog about!
