I knew going into this semester of journalism at OU, changes to my grammar would have to be made. Coming from Durant, OK, where the linguistics consist of terrible inflections and my peers spoke in "text talk", I now have to make a conscience effort to heighten my grammar to a more professional level. Teachers at Durant High School focused mostly on vocabulary. Though this was an attempt to at least make us sound brighter, it was all for not when the teachers would pity us and give us the answers on exams. To make matters worse, grammar exercises consisted mainly of punctuation. Obviously, high school was easy, but prepare me it did not.
