A School Teaching Proper English... There's A Novelty
-
One British school has banned slang. Why? Because the school believes that speaking proper English enhances one's job prospects. Maybe, but is that really the case anymore? I hear a LOT of people whose English is atrocious in positions for which you'd think better language skills would be essential. It's like how business-casual has replaced suits and ties in a lot of positions. Then again, nobody ever lost a job by speaking too well or dressing too well. (Daily Telegraph)
