Good Use: What is it Good For? :: Teaching Writing Education

true(p) Use What is it Good For?I sit here at my calculator surrounded by writings astir(predicate) veracious phthisis. They are beside me, in front of me, next to me. I have read them all numerous times and I still wonder if I have reckon out an answer to What is good enforce and what is it good for?Good use is something that I feel is ingrained in us from kindergarten on. We are taught the priggish way to write and the proper way to talk. It distinguishes the educated from the uneducated. Oh, we may sample to say that good use does non matter, but we notice when bad use is evident. We go over words that are misspelled and sentences that make no sense at all. We render words used totally out of context or mispronounced. We evidence not to be judgmental, but, in the back of our minds, there is a circumstantial gnome whispering little opinionated thoughts about the ignorance before us. sanction Okay I can see everyone getting defensive on that last comment. But if we ar e honest with ourselves, it is true. We talked in class about good use being a class distinction. There is no avoiding it. Of course, there are the extremes. The example of Niles from Frazier is the utmost extreme in unbroken good use. Or is it? Maybe it is just an example of class. But Frazier would be of the same class as his brother and he does not speak in such extremes. This is very sad. Now I am lay out with myself in this paper. I mean I have triggered an idea, though - Niles is not an example of good use. He is using a dialect that he is comfortable with, that is not common among us. It makes us think of good use because it is so formal. The dialect does consist of good use, but it is not the summary of it. Frazier and even his Dad speak in ways that would constitute good use. You do not have to use formal english to be considered using good use. Now it may sound like I am getting away from the class distinction, but I dont think that I am. I think the class still shows up, especially in people who have not had a chance at an education. therefore there is a definite lack of good use, as we have it.
