But Americans are not very fussy about their grammar. Sheila: SOME Americans—not all, thank goodness!! ;-) TBH I put it down to cultural differences. Americans are pretty smart as a people (stereotypes notwithstanding). They are just not brought up to regard correct grammatical speech to be as important as other cultures think. They are very practical people - if the other person understands you then you have done your job of communicating. |
