HOW TO SPEAK GEN Z

We have had kids hand in papers that look like their texting...they need to practice today!

Good day, my friend SGT John " Mac " McConnell I just found your post in an email under SFC Joe' morning prayer :-)
Speaking in complete grammatically correct sentences is an art that is sorely lacking IMHO. :-)
I echo Winston Churchill's quip to "Never end a sentence on a preposition." When criticized for occasionally ending a sentence on a preposition, Winston Churchill replied, "This is the type of errant pedantry up with which I will not put." :-)
Texting is a leading medium for spreading the deplorable habit of writing in incomplete and indecipherable [to casual observers] messages :-)

This is a slightly instructional rap song about Compound Complex Sentences.

LYRICS:
We learned about sentences, simple
Subject and verbs, no dimples
We learned about sentences, compound
I’m talking about FANBOYS right now
We learned about sentences complex
Like a carbohydrate, Rice Chex
It’s time get real like an illness
No flu, but still you’re feeling this
I’m talking about compound complex
So crazy it don't make no sense
two independent clauses with a conjunc
plus dependent clauses in the trunk
it’s a sentence that has a lot of junk
like a poop in the urinal that stunk
getting fat like a pimple
compound complex but it’s simple

you want to write well, here’s a lesson
this teacher wants perfection
he’s trying to get you to recognize
the importance, to read and write

this is a lesson in grammar
it’s gonna keep you out of the slammer
so lock this concept down, it’s super tight
learning is cool, get it right
Han Solo shot first
Don’t make fun of my man purse
Do you understand compound complex
Body Builders, all flex

Sparrow:
I’m just a history teacher
I don’t teach much about grammar
But good writing, I support that
you want to get an “F”, ignore that
Every time you write a paper
Change up that sentencing structure
Mae Zedong, China
Is that relevant? Kinda

Listen up, Call me Timberlake
I’m bringing grammar back, don't hate
I love all sentence types
I also love ice cream and pie
Every sentence you create
Compound complex that’s great
I don’t discriminate
Unless it’s bad grammar"
