We don't have to remind the boys of this quite as much as we used to. What we have taking place in the house is a reversal. Forbid if one of the native English speakers forms a sentence wrong or uses a word incorrectly or flat out says the wrong word.
Eli, the speach profectionist, is on the case or the case of the errant speaker. I used to try to explain that people sometimes use the wrong words and it is impolite to correct people especially those older than him. Unfortunately, he is headed for a debate career. His argument.....you correct me all the time, I learn English the right way, you should use it the right way, how else am I suppose to learn. Ok. Well. Guess we all will be watching our words and if he happens to correct one of you out there, we ask that you understand how much he values getting the words right.
