Trying to help the old people out who complain about grammar.

What killed the English language was when shallow, self centered, and stupid people allowed emotion to replace meaning in words

The first time I realized that the verb "to be" was commonly abused by the people with a different colored skin was a line, early on, in the comedy "Designing women".

Someone asked the black guy on there was he wanted and he replied "always to use the verb "to be" correctly". I fell out of my chair laughing.

It was only later that I realized that much of the population wouldn't get it.

Language is ever evolving you stupid idiot. It can't be "ruined".
If you went and tried to speak your idea of English in 17th century England then they'd probably throw you in the Tower of London for being a retarded witch.

Walked in 30,000 in my pocket
Had them n's just like ooohh
15,000 Dollars on your bitch wanna frick me
Got her screamin' like ooohh
'Cause I got a check, n wanna flex
Ain't gotta flex but I got it, ooohh
Give that ho some X, she gone wanna sex every n in the set
And now she screamin' like ooohh

This is not a new idea.

Music slang has consistently integrated into the colloquial speech idiom since the fifties.

Differently

COL' got to be! Y'know? Shiiiiit.

It isn’t just rap. It’s the General degradation of language. They are taught that words can mean whatever and that language is interchangeable and there is no “wrong way”...and although there is a modicum of truth to that things have been taken too far.

Texting doesn’t help. They are developing their own little dialects.

And they speak like morons (many at least)

“Like...ummm, y’know”

Pet peeves.

I lose respect for someone when they don’t spell out a word in a sentence, without reason.
