error reading

I can definitely understand why before reading this we were told it would be one of our hardest readings. At first I just thought that it was really difficult to get into his mind state because he talks a lot different then myself and the people in my everyday life. Once I actually took the time to think about what he was saying it made a lot more sense. At the beginning i think that he was repeating himself too much with the comparison of correcting our mistakes when we hurt someone else physically or emotionally to correcting ourselves and others when improper grammar is used. He didn't need to drag it out that long i understood the message after the first few paragraphs. I would definitely have to agree that the point a person is making (the message) and the way they're making it (the method) is way more important than the grammar their using. I hate when in school someone has wrote a great paper but it gets deducted two letter grades because they didn't have the right amount of commas or something stupid. I think grammar is kind of important when writing a paper but not the point of the paper. You could have great grammar and still write a horrible paper. Everyone has different ways of talking depending on where they were from, how they were brought up, the people they hang out with, and many other factors. It's kind of hard to say there should be one correct way of speaking and putting words together. There are certain expressions that one group of people may use that other people may see as bad grammar but really it's just how they talk. Williams did a good job at talking about this issue. Overall I think that Williams brought up many good points and I really like his message but not his method. I think he spent to much tome focusing on trying to sound intelligent and over did it, making his message not exciting to read about.
