-This shows us a lot of were the English language itself
originated from, which I think it is important.
-Forming and shifting someone’s norms are in play,
transition from “outsider” to a “insider”.
-Presenting a cut line picture what they are and aren’t
doing.
-It contradicting but that’s what makes it good, it shows
how they say we should all have statuses there is still some places that
don’t when they should.
-We have all felt like this at one time of another, when
we get a paper back and there nothing really on it, you don’t know how to interpret
it or what exactly your suppose to do with it after that.

-the English language itself, didn’t command no respect,
for Latin was the lingo of the elite.
-Both authorities and norms is based on race and class
positions and is simply attempts to make the “outsider” talk like the
“insider”.
-superimposition of a dialect norm has little to do with
power, linguistic versatility, or variety of expression and everything to do
with making what one grammarian labeled the “depraved language of common
people”
-in a country where everybody has
status, it’s possible that no one has status

The paper was returned to the student with only one
comment, correct your grammar resubmit. What sheer and utter nonsense
