Do they seriously not require grammar for English majors anymore? Mapping sentences that take up a full page? Analyzing and dissecting every type of phrase or word known to the English language?
ARE PEOPLE TRULY NO LONGER REQUIRED TO TAKE THAT COURSE?
It was the most feared course at my university! English majors trembled at its coming! Getting a B- was cause for celebration! I still catch myself mapping sentences without even thinking about what I'm doing! And you don't have to take the course any more? Or, at least, not everyone does?
EXCUSE ME PLEASE! I MUST GO HATE ON EVERY ENGLISH MAJOR EVER WHO IS YOUNGER THAN ME AND/OR WAS NOT REQUIRED TO TAKE THAT COURSE BY THEIR UNIVERSITY!
ETA: I should mention that I had the Junior High and High School versions, too, and, while hard, there wasn't much comparison.
