Steve,
Sally battles this every day at Wando in her English classes. However, having spent last weekend with Wando’s Mock Trial Team in Columbia at the state competition, I can tell you there is hope for the next generation. Ya know?

I, like, don’t see the problem, ya know?

Actually, that is quite impressive on two fronts:

1) dorky white guy with a Scrabble shirt slays a crowd at Def Poetry Jam
2) “aggressively inarticulate” is a perfect phrase to summarize what’s happening.

Here’s a question, though: I’ve often come across people that speak very poorly but their written communication is excellent. What’s going on there?
