My only issue was with the "try getting a C in English class" jab. I suspect that the young man/woman already does considerably better than a C in English. I had no quibble with the remainder of the post.

Joe, nowadays English isn't taught the same way as when we were mere striplings. Try on the modern concept of "notional agreement" for size--i.e., if it sounds good, it's right. It's such piffle that drove me to quit reading James Kilpatrick.
