I liked the point about focusing on the content rather than the grammar itself.

I don't mind it much, if I'm about to use a word which I know often catches me out I will often prepare someone by saying I always get it wrong. That way they can correct me straight away. My accent I was a bit self-conscious about before but not anymore.

# data[].attributes.body
I have been told I have a strong polish accent by some people and by others that it is not as noticeable. I have a few words which always catch me out in terms of pronunciation so whenever I have to say those people comment on it.

# data[].attributes.body
I find it less enjoyable to read something with grammar mistakes in it as it can be less clear

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't mind at all. It actually made me laugh having my friends guess what some words meant.

I'm from East Ayrshire and since coming to Uni in Glasgow and making friends from here they have picked up on certain slang that I use, which to me is completely normal. I've been told I use 'ken' a lot rather than 'know' and I was completely shocked when I had to explain what the word 'gadz' meant as I thought this was used all over Scotland but apparently it's just an Ayrshire thing!

i'm from near Aberdeen, I feel i dont have a very strong scottish/aberdonian accent. I've been told i have a 'posh' scottish accent especially compared to my dad who has quite a strong aberdonian accent and uses doric slang, there are some words that i didnt relise that were doric slang until i said them in glasgow and no one knew what i was on about lol

I'm not particularly bothered by the way people use grammar/vocabulary but I can find people with a distinctive prosody/rhythm difficult to listen to - for example Robert Peston the journalist.

# data[].attributes.body
I am glad now that my mum instilled this into me, as I feel it now makes me clearer and easier to understand around people who may not be from Glasgow.

I was always brought up to speak "properly" and was corrected by my Mum if I ever spoke with a typical Glaswegian accent. I was always encouraged to pronounce words as they "should" be pronounced and avoid saying words such as "aye", etc.

Ridiculing someone's language use isn't smart, it's belittling.

# data[].attributes.body
I felt sad when my accent and language were made fun of as they're not something I actively control or think about.

My Scottish accent was intentionally softened from when I lived abroad and I freqeuently used American-english (e.g., gas instead of petrol) as British-English was not the standard.

I was complimented on my accent abroad but mocked by mates for it on return. Multiple people have criticised my subconscious use of American-English words, saying it just sounds weird.

Not until I started studying linguistics.

My partner and her family use cataphoric referencing...a lot. I get annoying when I don't immediately understand who or what is being described.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't personally feel I have a strong Glaswegian accent, however, when starting this course, it was mentioned that my accent was very strong and required more attention to understand !

# data[].attributes.body
I have previously known to correct people I'm close too, in terms of spelling and grammar, (despite not being perfect at it myself). However, in general I do not frequently get annoyed by others use of language !

# data[].attributes.body
There is no absolutely certain right or wrong way to speak or use language and making judgements because of what you deem to be 'correct' can be very harmful

# data[].attributes.body
I don't really mind I feel like I'm used to it, especially slowing down a bit and being a bit clearer when I meet new people

# data[].attributes.body
I have a pretty standard Northern Irish accent and while being in Scotland I would occasionally have to repeat myself or talk slower to be understood. I wouldn't say I've ever really been criticised for it, other than Scottish friends maybe having a laugh at how I say certain things

# data[].attributes.body
Not really, apart from occasionally there/their/they're. I would never call someone out on it unless it was jokingly at a friend or a family member

# data[].attributes.body
the relation she used regarding critiquing bodies and language, I liked this as it makes readers really think about why there is no difference to them

# data[].attributes.body
noting and making someone aware of incorrect grammar use is not really necessary, as long as the message is received

# data[].attributes.body
I don't mind being asked to repeat as long as it's not for a third or more time ! that's when I get irritable and uncomfortable.

# data[].attributes.body
the only critics I have been subjected to is English people not understanding 'I talk to fast for them' which I agree I am a very fast talker however I don't feel it is overly unintelligible. I speak standard Scottish so it is very ordinary depending on who I am talking to, I feel I speak posh in my job in hospitality as I ensure im very polite and slow whereas in everyday speech with family and friends I can relax more

# data[].attributes.body
not overly annoyed no, with the wrong use of they/their/they're and we're/were can by a little irritating and easy to pull others up on but everyone in this time mixes them up easily so you adapt

# data[].attributes.body
I think the message about using grammar as weapon as a liberal person being hypocritical is very eye opening. I have definitely been guilty of using this in the past against those whose views I disagree with. I think it will make me more conscious of avoiding this in the future because as someone from a working class background I would never want to fuel bigotry based on class.

# data[].attributes.body
I understand people from other places not understanding my accent especially as I talk very fast. I am fine with being asked to slow down however it is very uncomfortable when people mock your accent in an unkind way or dismiss you because of it.

# data[].attributes.body
I’d say I have a standard Glasgow accent but probably use a lot of non-standard dialect/informal Glaswegian dialect. I have been criticised for my Glaswegian accent in the past by a couple of English/people from other places in the uk when I worked in a call centre. I would get told things like ‘my accent is very difficult to understand’ and on a few occasions to ‘speak English’.

# data[].attributes.body
I think sometimes little errors with grammar can irk me because I’m so pernickity with my own grammar use. However never enough to actually call someone out on it as I perceive that as unkind and irrational. Informal dialect never bothers me as I use much of it myself.

# data[].attributes.body
Critiquing someone's views over the size of their vocabulary - focusing on the content rather than incorrect grammar is far more powerful

# data[].attributes.body
Not too much, I agree with the comment saying they/they're/their being used incorrrectly can be annoying but it is easily done

# data[].attributes.body
I don't like when people are overly prescriptive with how others use language, e.g. Jacob Rees Mogg's word list

(Though I have to admit something about writing 'focussed' with the double 's' looks weird to me but I can't explain why...)

# data[].attributes.body
Carpenters definitely have laughed at my wonky shelves in the past

# data[].attributes.body
Making judgements on the basis of non-standard grammar reinforces an outdated status quo and we should consider it 'shaming'

# data[].attributes.body
Pointing out ‘incorrect’ grammar achieves nothing- it’s fine as long as you can understand the message

# data[].attributes.body
Standard Scottish accent, so I don’t really stand out too much. Only challenges/passive criticisms have been in being understood by people from England: usually need to speak clearer or ask for someone to ‘translate’ when people don’t understand. The accent can be perceived as aggressive or intimidating in normal things like ordering food, especially when you need to repeat yourself!

# data[].attributes.body
Not much. Their/there/they’re or incorrectly used apostrophes can be annoying.
