gram which helps people brush up
on their spelling, punctuation,
grammar, usage and style.

“We call these kind of mistakes

‘incorrect’ English,’ says Ramon ;
Kubicek, who tcaches in the col-

lege’s communications depart-
ment. ‘Actually, it's just a dialect
with different rules from standard
English. We understand perfectly
when someone says, ‘Give it to he
and I,’ but we also recognize that
it's considered unacceptable by
most employers and educated peo-
ple. Dialect speakers and writers.
can confuse their message by their
nonstandard use of English.”’

When people are unsure of their
grasp of standard English, says
Kubicck, they often lose con-
fidence in themselves. They avoid
tasks that require them to speak in
public, or to write more than a
sentence or two. ‘‘And that’s a
shame, because they miss many
chances for challenging work and
recreation,’’ he says.
