Let's Parse This

  Must we all pretend that the English language is not being destroyed? Can't we at least try to maintain a modicum of structure in our native language.
   Yes, Melania's first language is not English. Her husband can not say she "speaks perfect English."  But doesn't she have people around her who can tell her the slogan "Be Best" does not parse. One can say "Be good," but the comparative and superlative forms, of good, "better' and "best"  need to be compared to some other quality or quantity. One can be better than merely good, and best surpasses that. That's if  the words are used as adjectives. Vanilla ice cream is good, chocolate is better, and coffee is THE best. Be good, be better, be THE best, not be best.
     Oh, well, I'm over that but now, repeated as if it is really meaningful the observation that "Most children know more about social media than some adults."  (Slightly paraphrased)  So what does that mean, even assumed it's based on some statistics, gathered where and how we don't know.
    We have "most children" over here. They know a lot about social media.
    Over here, we have "some adults."  They don't know very much about social media
    So evidently "some children"  don't know much about social media either.
    Could it be that the number of "some adults" who don't know social media  is the same as the lesser number of children who don't know social media? After all, "some" could mean only 3 or 4 adults, not necessarily a large number.
    "Some" and "most" are not comparable.
It's enough that Melania utters these words as if they're statistically meaningful. We can forgive her: it's not her first language. And she probably doesn't really care. But for others to respond as if these are words of wisdom is of detriment to the English language, what's left of it.
     We can be better (than that.)
(Maybe she meant some children know more than most adults. This makes more sense than most children know more than some adults. Or "More children than adults know social media."
   I be darned.
