As a teacher I am thoroughly ticked off that a certain TV game show host continuously butchers the English language by using incorrect grammar and by dropping the last letters of words. He may be charming but this makes him sound uneducated.
The object of the complaint probably has to be Steve Harvey. This really doesn't sound like Alex Trebek, does it? I've heard similar complaints about Harvey on the game show oldies boards, where he does tend to, well, tick people off.
The "charming" qualifier also makes me think the complainer is a little freaked about sounding racist about Harvey, even if Steve isn't mentioned by name. The power of p.c., you might say.
I don't know about the unnamed teacher, but I've always thought that Harvey's main problem on the oldies boards is that he's not Richard Dawson. Which makes those promos on Buzzr, where Steve talks about his admiration of the kissing bandit, seem ironic. By the way, Steve Harvey's grammar and pronunciation are impeccable in those promos.
