    That's hilarious


    Anyone who cares about grammar and spelling to that degree needs to chill out.

    And yeah, obviously American grammar is the correct version.

    I actually don't mind if we choose a grammar set for a reason. I do mind choosing one out of a lack of interest, stupidity or lack of motivation as displayed by said "'teachers'".

    And yes primary school teachers who teach the basics should care about spelling and grammar. However most schools do not explicitly teach English grammar as it is assumed that one will absorb it in an English speaking society.

    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
