Oregon CPS has long been one of the worst in the country. Attacking a person through their children is the vilest evil in the communists' operation.

Not really. Language is living. British people say me Mum knowing that in school they were taught to say my mother. Who cares?

Proper grammar is the former and not the latter. ;)

Yes. Really. Using me for my and Mum for mother are not fundamental grammatical errors as is using a subjective pronoun when an objective pronoun is needed.

Who cares? Well, believe it or not, a lot of people still do -- even if you don't.

Muddled language and muddled thinking are next door neighbors, if not roommates.

I used to interview candidates for engineering jobs, and I would never recommend for hire any native English speaker whose English was so poor that she said, "They questioned my husband and I."

Grammar comes from speech. Not from what you read in a 100 year-old book.

Focusing on her grammar takes away from what she is saying which is important.
