Dear Dish on the Necessity of Good Grammar
Dear Dish:
Why do you always point out redundancies in your writers' writing? It makes us feel inadequate. In fact, I took three weeks just to write this letter because I'm scared of the grammar. I think my hair's starting to fall out. What can I do? Can I aspire to be as good as you?
Clean grammar, clean soul, as they say.
Sincerely,
A Grammar Flunky
Dear Flunky:
There is absolutely nothing stopping you from aspiring to be like Dish.
Dish promotes good grammar in an effort to prevent society from falling any further than it already has. Dish once wrote to a company regarding a concern she had about its product. In the official business reply, the writer referred to Dish as "u" without the "yo". And thus began Dish's crusade for the use of proper grammar. "U" without the "yo" may be perfectly acceptable in a text message or in the title of a Sinéad O'Connor song, but it is definitely not acceptable in business correspondence. Something must be done! Dish is not going to take bad grammar lying down. She is going to fight!
As for your hair woes, Dish suggests a hair replacement system or possibly a hair transplant. Or, if you're pinching pennies, you could always try a wig or even just a stylish hat. Dish knows a gentlewoman who definitely knows how to pick a hat. Rumour has it that Gus Johnson is also a hat lover; however, he's far less forthcoming with helpful hat-related information.
In any case, the best way to beat this is to devise a strategy. It's never too soon to start planning to prevent baldness.

How can society ever repay such a grammar debt?
