Please Don't Sling the Slang!

Are you guilty? I know I am sometimes.

Examples:
“Aint no such word as aint!” “Can I go to the bathroom?” (I don’t know - can you?) “I got this problem…” You get the picture. It seems to bother me more on some days than it does on others. I am first to admit that my grammar suffers from a lack of applying myself during the formative grammar years…laziness, in other words. However, I am constantly hearing grotesque grammar as I go about my business from day to day.

I pray that as I teach my children, I do it with Christ in the foreground, and with a determination to teach proper grammar so my children will be able to express themselves gracefully. So join with me in this crusade for grammatical correctness and please don't sling the slang!
