In this article, the writer wrote about how grammar is important and how it affects us.
The
way that the writer displayed us the information is with rhetorical questions and some
assertive language in order to make users clear and show us points.Her writing is portrayed
in a way that she does not enjoy “bad grammar”.Therefore, This text is clearly a biassed,
argumentative text. The first paragraph can be assumed as the writer criticising on how
terrible grammar brings other people to look down on you. Then, there is irony. The way that
she wrote “It is not easy being a grammar specialist these days” is the writer ironically
mocking this generation. She is implying that it is rare to find other people who follow the
rules of grammar. Then a personal anecdote to clear up the confusion that people will not
want to talk to her because they are afraid that they might get judged. Then there is humour
included in the parantheses. The second paragraph is the writer debunking myths of how
people would feel like to talk to her. It is kind of ironic because in the first paragraph, the
writer wrote that other people are getting judged because they have poor grammar but here,
she is getting judged because she has good grammar.
The writer then made use of topics such as “1.Purists”,”2.Rebels” and

“3.Don’t-know-don’t-care”. Which would be better for us to understand and relate and enjoy if
the readers are one of the topics that she included or so that they are alarmed of it. The
three paragraphs following are the writer informing the facts and her opinions on how many
people act.The writer claims that grammar is how your public image is viewed.The writer
argues that poor grammar causes people to not get the jobs they want.Then she quoted
William Bradshaw which brings us readers to feel that she is not on the wrong.Then, the
writer believes that with bad grammar, people would be taking the meaning wrongfully and
that they might be misunderstood because of their poor grammar. This brings the readers to
agree that the writer is a complete douchebag.The last paragraph is full of rhetorical
questions. She is making us rethink the answers and trying to make points but the fact that
she added a numerous amount of rhetorical questions just makes the readers believe that
she is a complete airhead.
Text two analysis
The writer wants to talk about how English is getting adapted by technology. The
writer is clowning on how ridiculous slang words are.for example, “Goodness knows there
are enough books about ‘proper’ grammar…”. The writer adds humour by using the phrase
“Goodness knows” and by quoting “proper” to inform that he is being sarcastic. This makes
the readers connect with the writer and know that he has some personality. The writer
stabilises where he stands by quoting a professional, Gretchen McCulloch. The writer
quoted him with the use of indirect language. The writer talks more about what McCulloch
says and does instead of saying what her opinions are. That makes what McCulloch says a
fact since she has been in the industry and has dedicated her entire life into this. The writer
uses a metaphor”the internet has ushered in a golden age of eloquence”. This might make
readers agree with the writer since when we think of what slang words do, it makes our
language flow faster. He then quotes a rhetorical question of McCulloh.”Why not write for
people who actually exist?”. In that sentence, the writer is indirectly involved in how to
convince the readers but instead leaving all the work to the professionals and that is how
powerful quotations can be. The third paragraph is the writer connecting with the reader.
“People who have struggled…” it causes the readers to feel like they are not alone and it
makes the text personalised. The writer’s use of capital words “LIKE SHOUTING” makes the
text very informal. The text is very informal and this text is argumentative. The writer clearly
wants to make fun of the new generation because it changes the way that they believe and
changes how it always has been. That is how a generation gap is formed.
The texts are very similar but different in a way that they present their ideas.The
writers clearly have a hatred towards the new generation “tho”. Both of the writers are
mocking the people and the difference is the way that they do it. Text One tries to be classy
and calm but Text Two loses its temper and the writing just looks like a kid trying to complain.
It makes One formal and Two informal. One is well experienced since it is taking shots in a
way that is not very obvious. Two is ranting on and on about how the newest generation
sucks and how the generation gap is formed. One really goes in and clears up the grammar
myths while staying on topic. The second text is clearly written by someone who is trying to
have fun and wants to take their mind off of the stress that they have been holding unlike the
first one which is writing to make a living and wants to get out of writing. Both texts are
incredible. The only bad thing is that when you’re informal, your words will not go through as
well as formal texts.
