The Grammar of "Bushisms"

In Dr. Sara Trechter's English Grammar 375, the class was assigned a paper that analyzed grammatical markers in writing. This paper analyzes quotes from former president George W. Bush and some of his grammatical mistakes. 
​
This paper demonstrates my knowledge of the forms and functions of Standard English grammar. In this paper I have to accurately apply the conventions of oral and written English by comparing president Bush's grammar to the standards of American English grammar. This work also includes a works cited page that demonstrates my ability to integrate and collect outside sources.
