What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

Silly?

silly, unnecessary, archaic, pretentious...

the huge majority of adults barely know how to form a sentence or a rational thought...they certainly have no idea how to use "to be" verbs correctly or how not to write in passive voice...its why we have, and pay, both writers and editors for their services. when i am misunderstood its not because my grammar is incorrect, it has much more to do with a persons preconceived notions and opinions. thus i feel absolutely no need to change or conform. its the neurodivergent in me, sorry, not sorry, haha.

I would consider irregardless unnecessary. It is a word derived from the mis use of the correct word.

Ain't, ain't a word either.

 

[Qky75]

irregardless IS a word and the dictionary agrees with me...fight me...

English, American English in particular, is a living language that is constantly adapting and evolving. King James English is not improper but is no longer commonly used. The Oxford comma is neither proper nor improper; being now completely optional depending on style. Add vernacular and colloquialism and the language becomes a nightmare to anyone attempting to grasp the language. There are many who speak the language well but they are less than those who do not. Of those who actually speak well, even less write the language well and only a very select few are actually "fluent" in English. Y'all leave this man alone! He ain't ahurtin' nobody no ways.

@TXRafe

Reposting a convo you'll appreciate. Sorry @MidwestPrincess23 for rereading.


If you get me mad enough I get super creative with my cussing lol....I am actually impressed with this one

"Just got off the phone with a certifiable ass cancer of a cunt if ever I've spoken to a cunt and I have spoken to many"
Cuz English

i think if a word is widely used and understood by many then it is a word. just because something is "slang" or a "colloquialism" doesnt mean it isnt a word. as @Qky75 said, english is a living language and sounds absolutely nothing like original english, nor is it even the same language in different places around the world.

 

[SensualGerund]

I think those three terms are in descending order of reasonableness.

 

[Apisto42]

*clutches my pearls*

That hurts my head. My heart. My whole body. I bet you say "ain't", too?

(We won't talk about y'all - dictionary or not, it's proper!)

*plants flag prepared to die on this hill - with y'all*


*runs away laughing*

What cracks me up is that while growing up I was not allowed to say “ain’t” or “y’all” but my mother has now morphed into an old country woman who uses both all the time. Including in text. It’s hysterical.

 

[Neanderthal247]

WhateverI like remember? lol

Well here's to another day of not knowing wtf is going on, in this LIT jungle. Probably better off not knowing what you mfers are up to anyway.

After I left home, I stopped "ain't" and my kids have never used it without side-eyeing me to see me riled up.

But, not even living in Michigan was taking my "y'all". I'm never giving it up.

Those words are acceptable.

I only have issues with:
Lieberry...is that a bush?
Eyebaw
Prostrate/prostate
Len..... supposedly singular for lens
Supposably for that matter
Axe substituted for ask

But you want to see me have a meltdown? Say chipoltay instead of chipotle....like id give you a point if you said chipotle rhyming with bottle but chipoltay?!? Look at the fucking letters....

Try expressing it as "yinz". It'll irritate people more than "irregardless".

 

[mnbreastluver]

Living in the north doesn’t make us red necks. So what if we build houses on a frozen lake. Who doesn’t enjoy catching fish in their living rooms.

 

[ericalauren]

They’re scum.

Thank you! I appreciate the solidarity.

I love how country women sound when saying, Y'all. It's sexy as fuck ! This is a side point, not trying to get with your mom lol.

Yo'uns...I first heard that when I visited Pittsburgh as a kid.

*plugs my ears*

Ok, so "y'all" is ingrained in me so much, it's in my writing.

During my brief stint working at Disney World, I worked in Tomorrowland. I would say, "See y'all next time" and the like to guests leaving my area. Someone looked me dead-on and said, "This isn't Frontierland." I burst out laughing because I just didn't even think about it

I know you’re taken, but say Y'all in my ear 1 time, it's for a friend
