Poor English

[Haunted]

My grammatical skills are by no means impeccable. However, I think they're good enough to allow me escape into the world of dialects every now and again.

i NEVER EVER use any kind of catch phrases .. never did even as a kid ..

i hear them and they wince.

'you go girl' being the one that made my eyes bleed.

repeating worn catch phrases is like a pathetic attempt at cheaply gained credibility..

Here's one from Philadelphia for you Vod:

"Jeet yet?"

"No, jew?"

Translation:
"Did you eat yet?"

"No, did you?"

Made me think of Jeff Foxworthy's southern words.

"You didnt bring the shovel, Wichadidja?"

"I Dont Care"

4 out of 5 dictionaries define it but state that it is incorrect, much like "ain't". :p

Damn Cambridge....

there's a word that pisses me right off, when I'm watching sport on Tv, if it's the second from last race etc, the commentator says 'penultimate' that word is so annoying.

I think that goes along with "Extreme".

Advertising people saw the popularity of extreme sports and decided to capitalize on it. Honestly, do we need "Extreme" color for fucking potato chips?


Another couple of phrases thatdrive me nuts are "low-carb" and "carb-concious". No one gave a shit 5 years ago, now people wont eat food if it has carbohydrates (which is horribly unhealthy, btw). Can you beleive they have low card pasta? what is the fucking point? that's like dehydrated water...
