Bill Cosby is right.

"Just get it did" "I didn't never say that!" "I ain't NEVER . . . "

Prudential used to run remedial English classes for their customer service representatives. Can you imagine the expense if a customer got a letter with a double negative in it and decided to hold the company to exactly what the letter said?

When that's the sort of misuse you hear all around you, you start to wonder if anyone knows how to speak correctly. Just like some black children look down on their studious classmates as "acting white" speaking correctly can get children ostracised. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could get some positive peer pressure to encourage learning and correct English usage?
