Detailed study of the text
1. If I am the only parent who still corrects his child’s English, then perhaps my son is right. To him, I am a tedious oddity: a father he is obliged to listen to and a man absorbed in the rules of grammar, which my son seems allergic to. (Para. 1)
Meaning: My son is probably right if there is no other parent like me who still corrects his child’s mistake in English. To my son, I am a boring and strange father, who he has to listen to ; I am also the one who pays lots of attention to grammar rules, which he doesn’t seem to like.
