David Foster Wallace's article "Tense Present: Democracy, ENglish, and the
Wars over Usage" is a careful--and often very funny--argument for the
teaching of standard English and a rebuttal of the linguist's descriptive
approach.  It appeared in Harper's Magazine, April 2001.  I think many on
the list will find it provocative.
