Texan English

Wednesday, October 27, 2004 at 1:32PM

I ran across a story today in WSJ (the stub linked to an article in Fortune). Apparently, Texan girl scouts are making audiotapes of themselves to teach Desi orphans "Texas English". One girl scout said, "We're helping them to learn how to pronounce English good."

If only we could teach the girl scouts how to use English grammar well!

The irony of it all. Sigh.
