If her husband cannot conduct himself in a business-like manner at her place of employment, he should stay home...for her sake. Everybody does not 'fit in' the corporate atmosphere, even some that are employed there!
I definitely agree that all articulate people are not intelligent. However, it is more likely than not that an articulate person is intelligent. I don't beleive the spouses behavior is indicative of his intelligence but a measure of his ability to 'fit in'.
I don't beleive that speaking proper, standard English is 'talking white'. I know plenty of whites who cannot speak properly. I am Black, educated and use correct English but have never been accused of 'talking white'. I beleive it has to do with your voice and intonation rather than your use of subject-verb agreement.
There was a big discussion on the SGRho forum recently about 'talking white'.
