Synopsis

The English language is taking a beating every day. More and more “abuses” are being “accepted” as normal. A case in point – The lost grammar battle over the use of WHO and THAT. Grammatically, it’s people WHO… and things THAT… Unfortunately, the phrase “PEOPLE THAT…” is now linguistically acceptable and used almost universally, even though grammatically incorrect. The goal of That Ain’t Not Right, The Use and Abuse of the English Language is twofold: to make you more aware of the proper word words, phrases, tenses, and punctuations to use in particular situations, and to suggest how to monitor and correct your own use through simply learned techniques.
