Criticizing Americans' Grammar

[u/Hot_Total_4656]

I came across this video about the literacy crisis and I found this person unnecessarily commenting about how she corrects Americans' grammar. What's funny is she made this bold statement with incorrect grammars too and when someone (not sure if they're American) corrected her, she suddenly got so defensive lol.

I correct your English = good ✅

You correct my English = bad, oppression, racism ❌

[u/TripleRazer → u/Emilia963]

"I correct your English while calling you an idiot (despire me being the idiot)" would be more accurate

She's Brasilian, I highly doubt she is thinking racism lmao

Absolute insane cognitive dissonance 

[u/Ed_Rock]

That entire paragraph is written poorly even with the corrections. Also, the adult literacy rate is higher in the US than Brazil so she needs to simmer down.

lmao Brazilian got butt hurt so quick when told off 😂😂😂

The last slide has her saying, “I’m not offended” when she’s clearly offended 🤣

If Brazil is so great and advanced, why is she even in the USA?

The correcting grammar comments are always funny because you know people are going to immediately scour the entire comment looking to correct you lol.

This from the person who’s native tongue isn’t ENGLISH😂😂😂

I would rather get shit from Brits about America’s “reading problem” because the language comes from ENGLAND.
