I know Amy Tan from “The Joy Luck Club” and reading another piece of her writing has opened up my eyes once again. It’s interesting that we have stigmas associated with the way we speak even if it’s just a different technique of communicating the same idea. English was my third language and when I first learned it, there were so many rules to follow. Even now, I learn something new about the language despite being a fluent speaker. I see my parents struggle to understand the secret gramma rules or punctuations that come with learning it as well. I feel that as long as it conveys the message, how it’s delivered shouldn’t give someone the opportunity to shame others.
