Is correct grammar disappearing from school?

you're complaining about the state of grammar when you don't even know the difference between prescriptive and descriptive?

>hurr mommy slapped me on the wrist when i ended sentences with prepositions and now i feel superior for learning a few made up grammatical rules

fucking christ when will the prescriptive grammar meme end

You should teach yourself some basic linguistics it will make you better understand it

You can always remain a linguistic prescriptionist

Language changes and simplifies but doesn't decline

It should be noted that the prepositions meme-rule has no basis in the English language as spoken. Dryden just made it up because you can't end a sentence with a preposition in Latin, it was never a thing before him.

...and is upheld as "proper" English aka the definition of prescriptive rules.

>language declines
In what aspect? Can you still understand what people are saying? Have you ever had a single interaction in which meaning wasn't transferred or understood because someone used slang? Or because somebody used a double negative? Or because they can't use the proper "there/their/they're" variant?

Holy living fuck, how can you this retarded?

>we should teach language the same way linguists study it

What am I reading

>>9414183
are you talking about prescriptivism vs descriptivism b/c that's as old as linguistics. i very much so doubt that we'll be getting rid of "proper" (pffbtbtbtbtbt) grammar as a whole
