St. Rev ☯️ 🏴 😻 added,
I nearly ranted about this! Is no one on this committee a native English speaker? Or is standard diction problematic now?
I’m trying to figure out why pointing at this does not seem petty.
I was a clueless student radical as a teenager, but I could write standard English. Is this significant somehow?
Students, at an elite university, editing the newspaper.
I do feel they ought to be able to write. But their wrong ideas are vastly more important. Significant connection?
I want to say that being able to write is pretty much the same as being able to think—but not sure of evidence for this.
Being able to write grammatically is the same as being able to comprehend and follow rules. (possibly delta specific learning disabilities)
Yes. That’s it, probably!
Able to comprehend and follow rules is the minimal criterion for “the systematic mode,” a/k/a “stage 4.”
