Here's an excellent take on Weird Al's grammar rant from First Things, a journal published by The Institute of Religion and Public Life with the purpose of "advancing a religiously informed public philosophy."  They published a wonderful article (including multiple responses and exchanged) by Stanley Fish a while ago - "Why We Can't All Just Get Along."

PS: I think we need to respond to what has now become an "event" in the ATEG Journal. Let's have several responses! I know the semester is about to start, but can I get something certainly by the end of August? If a publication like First Things can generate a response, we should be able to.
