Someone alerted me to name-mention in this column by TSU student Andrew Gant. Not too much to say, but a couple points are worth making. Of course, I would make them on the Index’s blog, but they won’t print my comments, let alone letters for publication. That’s just the way it is. “No tolerance for the right.†If you’re leftist, you can be illiterate or just plain crazy, as the post atop this demonstrates, and your every word sees print. I like to think of this as egalitarianism gone further awry. No word string shall be privileged over any other. No letter arrangement within words should be privileged over any other. All spellings are equal, and all syntax is equal. Grammar and diction are hierarchical, hence evil & outdated, hence must be dispensed with. Proper spelling is Hitlerian. Good grammar is nazism. Distinctions, discriminations, discernment – these are the eugenics of English, and must be put away. The price of this Political Correctness, which is actually Semitical Correctness, which is nothing but jew-produced communism for dirty goyim, is not only dangerous and dangerously active misrule, but boring media. It is a price too high to pay.
