I beg your grammar.Me grammar is sufficient enough to pass muster even on Coney Island.Off season,as well,ta boot.
I feel that the proper use of bad grammar is a designation of good writing.It is considered slang { dialect }.Or how different people use provincial ways of expressing themselves. Mark Twain { Samuel Clemens } used it often. "Th' wo'ds used an' th' way in which they're pronounced make up th' dialeck of a region,as enny fool kin plainly see. "
My pet peeve is when professionals on TV use the singular "is" as a plural, "There is many..." My second peeve is when average people say, " I borrowed him my car" or "He borrowed me his car". It shows a complete lack of basic education. Then there's basic comprehension. I posted to the wrong thread. Sorry about that!
How about People that say Mens as plural of Man not realizing Men is already plural ? Correct; Men's room Man Men plural, Incorrect, The Mens took the field Correct, the Men took the field Correct, the Men's football team played today.
Yeah, I've heard it said that way before by a young woman who dropped out of elementary school. I was shocked.
I grew up in a very integrated and poor area, but wouldn't have guessed US black as my top vernacular. I want to test again! lol
