Town of Braintree

There is nothing that bothers me more that when I speak to a white person who does not speak proper english. (And this excludes people who speak proper english using slang.) The use of ''yous guys'', or ''when I first seen this'' from somebody, totally throughs me off. After speaking with a black friend of mine, apprantely, this kind of talk is equivilent to the ''I need to ax you a question'' from a black person. She actually enlightened me to the fact that ''white people'' that talk like this are ''from the hood'' as well and that is why they speak like that. I take great pride in my BOS accent, however, I make it a point to speak proper english.

Pleaese do not take me be prejudice, because I am so not (slang, so not part), but I was never thought the ''I seen'' equalled the ''I axed''.

After speaking with my friend, I make it a point to think about the words that I choose. Just so I don't ''through myself off....''

Sincrely,

Mrs. Kohward, (she was my tutor when I was a kid. May she rest in peace.

Thanks

Thanks for the laugh. I needed that this morning. You sure seem to be '' on a row '' (sic)

Language evolves, cool means new

Language evolves, Cool means new

Consider Sixteen Century England where the language was an hodge podge (an Example),of
Latin root Kelt, Brittanic French ,Ancient Brit!
Even the slang of the day, if it were in common and daily use made into the Great Lexicon of Mr Johnson!
Some ?“Modern?“ language corruption starts with young kids attempting to ?”code?” words from those who watch over them, their parents for example, the new words,?”pig Latin of your youth ?“is an example!

The latest ?“in?” language usage is very ?“clubby?”,that is, it is used to define the current
groups uniqueness!

Language is also used to define intelligence and place in society, (class) and ?“couth?”
(A clever tongue),someone as defined as ?“uncouth?” is thought of as inferior to normal,
average people!

So to close all of this drivel, on my part, I feel much the same as you do! When someone on this page refers to me as a ?“dork?” or something much more unkind, I am sometimes at loss to understand.-----NOT TO WORRY, all things Will Pass

Maybe before you slam others you should
learn to spell.


>Pleaese do not take me be prejudice,
Sure sounds that way.
