I understand that this is a message board open to the public but things like that don't help to further a constructive conversation about Dedrick Mills. I you feel you just have give your response, especially in a quote to someone, just PM them.
Thank you. Couldnt say it any better.
But it does make one wonder how the subject got through four years at a reputable university, associated in class, cafeteria and playing fields with similar college students, and left with rotten grammar skills. At least it makes me wonder. I don't question their intellects. Just their learning skills.
I kind of doubt this, if by "drown yourself" you mean voluntarily drinking it, as opposed to tossing yourself into the middle of the ocean. I don't think so.
It's not hard to understand. Verbal skills are developed and ingrained early in life and are constantly reinforced through everyday exposure at home and with peers. Just because you hear some of the people in your circle of contact speaking correctly doesn't change a lifetime of practice. It doesn't mean it can't change, but it would take a concerted effort on his part to do so.
You can absolutely kill yourself by drinking too much water. Look it up. It's called hyponatremia. It's rare, but it absolutely can happen.
Well, it it is not actually drowning, but let it go. A distinction without a difference. I rue all those student loans I could have avoided by visits to the board.
Reminds me of the tragic "hold your wee for a Wii" contest
I used to say the same thing to my students. And it sometimes worked.
