Week 1, Discussion 1.1

Q Post your own definition of "Standard English." Include a list of as many as five grammatical concerns you believe should help your reader understand the meaning of "Standard English." Do not reference outside sources; use language that is entirely your own. Note that class materials are not considered "outside" sources; rather, outside sources would be sources you might find on the Internet or in the library, which might be perfectly appropriate for research purposes but not for this discussion. Once you have posted your definition and list of grammatical concerns, read and respond to at least two classmates' posts. In your responses, note how your definition and concerns resemble or differ from your classmates'. Please note that you will not see classmates' postings until you have posted your own. Initial discussion posts are due by the fourth day of the academic week at 11:30 PM ET and responses to at least two classmates are expected by the last day of the academic week by 11:30 PM ET.
