That's it - bugs the muther luving crap out of me. It's simple enough. "I saw Scott staring at a crazy little midget dancing naked on main street" or "I have seen Scott staring at a crazy little midget dancing naked on main street" - not "I seen Scott staring at a naked little midget dancing naked on main street." I don't think some of us should be bitching about border jumpers that can't speak English - when those said people can't speak "good" after growing up in this country their whole life. :HYF: Thanks Scott for being a good sport - sorry there really are no naked midgets dancing naked on main street :( and thanks for playing AJ rolled out on the wrong side of the bed "Grammer 101." :lol:




PS: No naked midgets were harmed during the making of this rant...

For some reason that one doesn't bother me as much as when somebody lists "90GT with LX body kit for sell." It's not for sell, it's for sale.

I'm with ya.....I do use a lot of slang both here and in real life, but I only use bad grammar when I'm trying to do so on purpose. ;)

you should use spell check before you start bashing on someones grammar.
so does this mean you have no right bitching about border jumpers either?

:lol:

I've seen a few instances in which I saw and I've seen have been used incorrectly, I've seen from experiance that people learn that seen is a past particlple and must follow an noun-adverb contraction. I seen this coming from a long way though.

Thanks for learning me that A.J.

Since we're on some country gramma here, the one that gets me is people screaming how they "Could care less" Well, great. Most everyone could care less about something if they wanted to, but if you're trying to point out how much you don't care, you need to be saying "I couldn't care less"
thanks! :cool1:

A friend of mine teaches high school in NKY, and she's told me that her students have some of the most atrocious spelling and grammar, mainly because of text messaging. She's actually had papers turned in written in "text". :rolleyes:

Ok i've got one also.... it is "I have an IDEA", not "I have an IDEAL" LOL :lol:

It would be ideal if people could use correct grammar when stating they have an idea! :D

ill admit im terrible at punctuation and spelling sometimes though :tongue2:

Seriously though, we all live very close to Appalachia and almost all of these grammar "mistakes" are just common Appalachia Dialect....

Just to give some insight on why people say things like, 'learn' instead of taught and, 'Gots' instead of 'Have'.... yea....nerd ftw.

hehe i think its kinda funny. im from NJ originally (everyone thinks i should sound like a New Yorker) so there are definitely some noticable differences living out here. But everyone has their own way of talking, thats what makes us unique :D

Please?

PaulFiveOh
05-18-2007, 10:37 PM
Please?

Now there is some cincinnati dialect!

I believe it has something to do with the German word for Please is also the same word for 'what'.

Sort of. In German you do say "bitte" if you don't understand what someone is saying, but "what?" in German is "was?"

But that makes sense why the grammar is screwed up on that. Actually, thinking of it that way makes me slightly less annoyed when I hear Cincinnatians say it.

One of that many grammar faux pas in writing that drive me nuts is "alot". It's "a lot"...there is no contraction of that in the English language.

The one grammatical error that really ticks me off is when someone "axs" me instead of asks me, "Let me ax you something".....I really don't want to get axed!!

That's really not a grammatical error, that's just pronunciation and dialect. It's like how Cincinnatians say "warsh" instead of "wash".

the please thing took me quite a while to figure out what the hell they meant when i moved down here! i am from the NW columbus area, and please doesnt mean what up there!

and when someone says "flar" or "tar" for flower or tire!
:rofl:

This would be the Girlfriend's husband. The all time worst grammatical error, in my opinion, would be ending sentences with "at". "Whar'd ya git that at?" I got it between the A and the T, butthead. "Where did you get that bitching fresh air intake?" Most everything that you folks have listed here I usually chalk up to laziness. But the "at" thing makes my teeth itch. I also can't believe the amount of "college graduates" with the grammar of a 5th grader. But, then again, according the Howie Mandell, no adult in the U. S. is that smart anyway.......... Scott and I know a woman who has passed the Ohio Bar and practices law. She is guilty of using most of the peeves on this list. A Law College Graduate! I have a ton more, but space is limited! Have a lovely day.

yes... it is improper to end a sentence with a preposition...lol.

what about "I'm gonna get me some of them!"
