<em>How would you best apply American English in a college setting?</em>
<em>The correct answer is By making sure your writing is always in Standard American English.</em>
- <em>Standard American English or SAE refers to the English language that is generally used in professional communication and in American schools. This English sees a prescriptive use of the language in a college setting; this is for example that the double negative cannot be used. It is very important that college students show linguistic good manners, a use of language attached to the context of readers, situation and purpose. However, the constant change in the language makes us constantly adjust, adapt and check what we have learned.</em>
You are correct my dear friend but do you mind explaining it a little more i still do not understand where this is coming from
I think that Mrs. Auld followed her husband's advice to stop teaching Douglass to read in My Bondage and My Freedom because WIVES WERE EXPECTED TO OBEY THEIR HUSBANDS.
Douglass was a slave and according to Mr. Auld, slaves do not need to know how to read because they will not be able to perform their tasks well as a slave.
