Pinker a Hypocrite?

I do not believe that I would consider Pinker a hypocrite. Although some of his writings and actions would make one think so. I would consider him as a man who likes to play with the minds of his readers and ultimately prove his point. We have discussed in class that he may have written this specifically because he wanted doctors and professors to read the article.I believe he had a greater purpose for his writing. I believe that Pinker did this on purpose, but not with the intention for just professors or doctors to read. I believe he wanted everyone who is capable to read to indulge in his article. I think this way because of how he supports other dialects and languages and discredits standard English. I believe he wrote in standard English to prove himself wrong. As funny as that sounds, he tries to show that standard English is just as proper as any other language like Ebonics. If you think well English is defiantly more proper,you are wrong. The truth of the matter is that all languages are proper. I also believe he wrote like this to show that even though he is criticizing standard English, that he himself is using it to write. I think he is trying to show that there are certain circumstances that you have to know about of how to approach the different kinds of dialects. It would be foolish to use Ebonics in a paper, even though he argues that no two languages are better then the other. There is a certain time to use it and when not to use it though. The funny thing about writing is that no matter what kind of dialect you speak, it is hard to tell how you sound in writing. The rules of writing are that you specifically use standard English in formal articles and papers. I think that Pinker was just following the rules of writing. If he were to tell you in person about this article he would use a much different language.
