Obviously I'm talking about large groups of people and trends just as the woman in the video is. She's saying white people should care less about grammar I personally think people in general should care more about it including myself. I'm not a big fan of grammar nazis on forums and chatrooms but I've learned a few things from them over the years and I think that's a good thing, I never felt like people were just trying to shut me up.
I really don't think it has anything to do with the level of education and personal vocabulary of the person and more to do with the person.
I liked this preliminary study: http://www.techinsider.io/people-who-cor...nds-2016-3
From the Article:
Quote:More importantly, the team found a separate (though somewhat small) negative correlation between a person's level of agreeableness and their likelihood of highlighting the errors. The least open-minded people, in other words, were the ones who stood out as the grammar police.
So typo-obsessed people beware: Your actions do speak louder than words.
Hypothetically, if I'd point out to the author of that article that typos and grammar mistakes are by no means the same thing and shouldn't be conflated, what does that make me? Worse than Hitler?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
