Kunesizathu sokuthi labo abazi kancane ngohlelo lolimi babe abagqugquzeli balo: Akekho omunye umuntu obonakala enendaba nakho. Njengomvuseleli wezobuciko osezingeni eliphezulu onesizungu egumbini elingaphansi le-The Met, ama-grammarheads ngokuvamile asebenza ngokuzimela, kodwa ngenjongo eqhutshwa insimbi yokususa udoti oqoqwe ebusweni bolimi. Ingabe ukhona ophendulayo wokuqala osheshayo ezinyaweni zakhe kunoshisekeli wohlelo lolimi? (Jambalaya and I <3, reads the first comment on your post about putting your beloved dog down. Thanks, Aunt Hilda.) They are the watchmen of language, the last guard of dangling modifiers, Strunk and White and Oxford commas…and before you open a new email to blast me, we do not use serial commas atPampereDpeopleny.
Njengombhali nomhleli oyingcweti oyiNgisi, nami ngiye ngezwa lokho kuthinta kagesi lapho ngibona futhi ngilungisa iphutha legrama. Ingabe ikhona into ebuhlungu ukwedlula ukusika ipeni elibomvu ngosonhlamvukazi ongafanele ngokuphelele njengoZoro eshidini elimhlophe entanjeni yezingubo? Kodwa ngendlela engithanda ngayo ukushesha kwe-adrenaline kokudweba umusho, nami, ngiyavunywa, nginakho okwami ukushiyeka: Ukukhumbula isisho sami sithi wonky—ngokwesibonelo, iposi isiteshi seposi—ngingumfundi ongasheshi futhi isipelingi esimaphakathi kakhulu. Yonke inketho yokwakheka nesemantical engiyithumela endaweni yonke izwakala ivuthiwe ngezintambo zohambo. Isinyathelo esisodwa esingalungile kanye nama-grammarheads angenza ngibe nezinwele ezimfushane ezilungele ukungihlazisa.
Futhi nakuba kungekho okusha mayelana nokuhlaziswa kohlelo-isenzo sokukhomba ukusetshenziswa okungalungile kolimi-kukhona okuthile okudala ngakho. Yebo, uhlelo lolimi lubalulekile. Inhloso yawo ukusisiza ukuthi sikhulume ngokucace kakhudlwana. Ukhefana owodwa ungashintsha yonke into: Ngibize Baba! vs. Ngibize, Baba! umehluko phakathi komugqa wengxoxo ku-porn kanye nomugqa wengxoxo ku-a Kuthathiwe ifilimu.
Kopisha abahleli, imihlahlandlela yesitayela, njll.-lezi zibalulekile ekuhambisaneni kwegama elibhaliwe ezimweni ezithile. Okushicilelwe kufanele sebenzisa isethi yemithetho yamagama ahlala emakhasini abo. Othisha abafundisa uhlelo lolimi kufanele bakwazi ukudinga abafundi ukuthi bakwenze ngendlela efanele. Imidlalo yesikrini kufanele kufakwe izimpawu zokubhala ngokucacile ukuze sazi ukuthi ingabe isigameko kufanele silethwe ngethoni e-sexy-pizzaman noma ithoni yendodakazi ka-Liam-Neeson-ethunjwa.
Kodwa uhlelo lolimi aluyona i-physics. Alikho ngaphandle kwethu emhlabeni wemvelo. Yinto thina, ngokuhlanganyela—kusuka esikalini somphakathi esikhulu kuye kwezombusazwe zezilimi zemindeni yethu yenuzi—siyakha njengoba siqhubeka. Ngokushesha njengoba abantu bakwa-AP, MLA naseChicago besebenzela ukuphoqelela imihlahlandlela yesitayela sabo, imvelo yokuthi ulimi luvela kanjani lusho ukuthi labo abakha imithetho yolimi bayohlala bengemuva ngezinyathelo eziyishumi.
Futhi masithembeke, isikhathi esiningi, naphezu kokungalungile kwegrama, singakwazi ukuqonda lokho umuntu azama ukuxhumana naye. Ukubuka isiqephu sakamuva se Abafazi Bangempela Base Dallas , uTiffany, udokotela obulala izinzwa ofunde kakhulu, uyahleka futhi alungise uKameron, i-archetypal blonde bimbo (imvunulo akhetha ukuyingenela ngokuthanda kwakhe), ngenxa yamaphutha amaningi ohlelo lolimi—ehlanganisa izichasiso ezinobuso obubili neziphikisanayo. futhi futhi engayazi incazelo ye-cathartic. U-Kameron uphendula ngokubuza u-Tiffany ukuthi uyathanda yini ukwenza abantu bazizwe beyiziphukuphuku, futhi ngenkathi singangena ku-Tiffany v. Kameron feud ngesinye isikhathi (#teamTiffany: Ngikholelwa ukuthi ukuphawula kwezinyawo zezinkukhu zikaKameron empeleni kuyingozi kakhulu), uKameron uphakamisa iphuzu elifanele. (Nakhu isiqeshana sangempela yengxoxo.)
U-Tiffany ucabanga ukuthi usiza uKameron ngokumfundisa ukukhuluma kahle, kodwa uKameron uzizwa edelelekile. Ngisho nangaphandle kokulungiswa kukaTiffany, wonke umuntu wakuthola lokho uKameron ayekusho. Pho kusho ukuthini ukumbiza? Ingabe ukumehlisa isithunzi nje? Futhi, hhayi ukuthola ezefilosofi , kodwa uma sazi ukuthi uKameron uthini, noma ngabe ukusho okungalungile, kusho ukuthi usakusho. Impela, uKameron Westcott ucebe njengesihogo futhi mhlawumbe ubenemfundo eyodwa enhle, kodwa singobani thina ukuthi siqaphe ukuthi ubuchopho bakhe busebenza kanjani? Noma ukuthi ingqondo yomuntu isebenza kanjani?
Okungiletha kwesinye sezizathu ezibaluleke kakhulu okufanele siyeke ukuhlazeka: i-dyslexia. I-Dyslexia iwukukhubazeka kokufunda okubonakala ngobunzima bokufunda. Futhi nakuba i-dyslexia ithatha izimo nezimo eziningi, imvamisa ifinyelela ekufundeni uhlelo lolimi. Ngokuvumelana ne I-Yale Center for Dyslexia and Creativity , I-Dyslexia ithinta amaphesenti angu-20 enani labantu futhi imelela amaphesenti angu-80 kuya kwangu-90 abo bonke abanokukhubazeka ekufundeni. Amaphesenti angamashumi amabili abantu? Lokho kusho ukuthi izikhathi ezinhlanu zonke ulungisa indlela umuntu asebenzisa kabi ngayo into eyinkimbinkimbi njenge- homophone (amagama azwakala njengelinye ncamashi kodwa apelwe ngendlela ehlukile), usuke utshela umuntu oseke watshelwa into enjengalena. zonke izinsuku ezimbi zokuphila kwabo. Kukhona izingqondo ezihlakaniphile ezingakwazi impilo yazo zonke ukuthola ukuthi yimuphi umthakathi noma owabo, bakhona noma bazosebenzisa. Akukona ukubonakaliswa kobuhlakani bomuntu. Akukhona ukudelela ngokusobala imithetho. Empeleni yindlela amaphesenti angama-20 obuchopho bomphakathi asebenza ngayo.
Kodwa akugcini lapho. Okubonakala kuwukulungisa okuncane noma ukuzama ukusiza empeleni kungenza umuntu osevele esengozini emphakathini azizwe edaluliwe nakakhulu—empeleni ejezisa othile ngokukhubazeka, ngokukhuliswa kwakhe kwezenhlalo-mnotho noma isiko. Lapho siqonda ngokwengeziwe nge-dyslexia, kulapho kufanele sibe nendaba encane ngokuthi othile usebenzise okungalungile kwakhe. Lapho siqonda ngokwengeziwe ukuthi isistimu iphukile, ukuthi ngenkathi ikilasi elilodwa labafundi bebanga lesithupha lifunda mayelana nokubamba iqhaza okwedlule kuyilapho elinye lifunda ezingeni lebanga lesithathu, kufanele sikhathazeke kancane uma ukuqhubeka kwekhandidethi kunephutha lesipelingi. The more siqonda mayelana amandla olimi nobuwena , kulapho kufanele sikhathazeke kancane ngokuzama ukwenza labo esibabheka njengabanye bazwakale njengathi.
Okungcono kakhulu, amaphoyisa ohlelo asebenzisa imithetho esisiza ukuthi sikhulume ngokucace kakhudlwana. Okubi kakhulu, isethi yemithetho engagunyaziwe evumela abanye abantu ukuthi bakhuphuke isitebhisi ngenkathi bebuyisela abanye emuva. Futhi akukhona yini iphuzu lonke lolimi lokusikhulula?
Kunoma ikuphi, uma besidinga u-Liam Neeson ukuthi eze azosihlenga, sinomuzwa wokuthi uzowuthola umqondo, ngokhefana noma ngaphandle kwawo.
