I would consider myself to be more in the middle with the whole prescriptivism and descriptivism concept. I just go with the flow. No need to judge the way people speak. I try not to use incorrect grammar but I am not going to lie, my spelling is terrible. Being in this class for two short weeks has already opened my mind to realizing that people are brought up and taught the way they talk and the language they speak. Prescriptivism seems a little judgemental, to me it seems like they would look down on descriptivists and think they are uneducated or ignorant. But I feel like descriptivists are more prejudice with the example for the girl in our class talking about the people in Florida that include white people in their context of "nigger".
It seems as though prescriptivism is more of a standard that most people don't meet. I have a brother that is black and he is from California. I don't ever think that he is uneducated because of the way that he talks. But there have been some times that my Mom or Dad have to ask him the meaning of a word. The funny thing is is i write the same way i talk, I don't add words or make any smaller. Well except for somethings i mumble together to make into one big word. I guess I am just going off somewhere with all of this but I think we need to keep some of the language in the "standard" but I don't think it should be a big deal when we talk in a different way.
