Ain’t it Better to Talk Good?


Scout observes that Calpurnia speaks differently at church than she does around the Finch’s house. We also see Bob Ewell struggle to speak appropriately in court.

Is it important to write and speak with proper grammar or should people just lighten up and let us write the way we want to as long as people know what we mean?
