laugh the “Saws” to scorn The phrase "laugh the “Saws” to scorn " is the best example of non-standard English because it does not follow the usual grammar structure of subject-verb agreement. In standard English, the subject or noun precedes the verb; so, the phrase should be: the "Saws" laugh to scorn.
