Mexico’s president on Monday defended the apparent insertion of what teachers have long considered grammatical errors into school textbooks. Copies of the new textbooks posted on social media show them using words like “dijistes,” long considered an incorrect or uneducated way of saying “dijiste,” meaning “you said.” “It is important to make students conscious of the fact that there are different ways of speaking, in order to avoid judgements based on ways of speaking,” according to an insert instruction to teachers in what appears to be an early grade-school textbook.
