McDonald's is including books with Happy Meals—how do you feel about that?

Okay, the story is true, but this is from a humor website called the Onion. But seriously, Happy Meals will come with books. (I vote for The Jungle by Upton Sinclair!)

I ain't gonna follow this coz we wozn't gonna learn how to speak good.

A British school has banned slang in order to improve
student speech. 




This is at the Harris Academy Upper Norwood, if you must know. And the staff there believe that not using words such as “ain't”, “coz”, and “like” will help
students to “express themselves confidently and appropriately”.




Pupils heard using informal language will be asked to “reflect”
on it without using language like “this sucks” or “@#$%!”. (Via the BBC.)

BURN THE WITCH!!!
