Question

Dear Editor Fascinating grammar/spelling the other night on the second evening of the NBC movie 10.5. The movie was bad enough ... 30 minutes of action crammed into four hours of viewing. What really caught my attention was the writing. Yes, the plot was wretched, the emoting was pathetic. Yet there was something even more glaring in this age of butchering the English language. I pine for the days of correct English when "you know" and "like" didn't crop up as every other word! Stinson Mix, Farmersville, TX What should Mr. Mix add to his letter to make it more convincing?

Answer 1

He must add evidence, citing scenes from the film where they prove his position against the plot.

Step-by-step explanation:

The author of the letter positions himself on his disgust about a particular film that was shown. He tells how the film has a poorly written plot, leaving the film pathetic and terrible, mainly due to the constant use of the words "you know" and "like". However, the author does not present any evidence that these elements exist in the film, in fact. This makes the text need some proof that the author could provide, citing some scenes that justify his dislike for the film shown.
