npub16uk4yyw47haxwl0klhh7lcx3qatkyqmpc6gc4hwru3qedaeuueeqqkpv7k (npub16uk…pv7k) Ah, yeah, I don't know that teachers have ever been given formal training in grammar. They're just sort of expected to know it, which means they usually just end up teaching the memetic rules:
I have to constantly correct split infinitives. If a student uses singular 'they', they're wrong. Prepositions aren't for ending sentences with. And nobody should start a sentence with a conjunction, either.
This could well contribute to the 'exclusionary' perception.
