Dear Mr.Robertson,
We are students of English Language and Literature on University "Dzemal Bijedic" in Mostar, and we heard you show on the radio last night, and we think it was very good idea to organize that kind of show in which people could ask and express their own opinion.
However, we don't agree with most of their statements.
*The first one is that native speakers are justifying themselves for their mistakes, and they think if they are native speakers they can indulge themselves to speak like that.
*The second one is "I think what majority decides to be acceptable is acceptable" which is, by our humble opinion, so silly. How can someone say that?!
Language is one of the most important things in our lives, and we have to respect its rules!
Regarding to fluency and accuracy "You are born with fluency, accuracy is learned", according to our teacher Erin Whittig.
*And the third one is the statement you said "If they make mistakes it doesn't necessary mean they are wrong".
We would like you to explain us what do you mean by that. And we belive it is connected to our first statement.
We would appreciate if you cold discuss about mentioned before, in your next show.
Yours faithfully
Students from B&H
