oh i see. i didnt read your post that way at all sharon, which is why i didn''t understand what f&i was saying before.
Thank you for that vote of confidence--as I was mortified
cheers--Sharon
O.K. Sorry. No harm. No foul. I''m sensitive to this issue because often someone''s grammer is called into question. When all else fails, insult someone''s grammer. I had someone PM be about a post regarding this very issue. They were afraid to post because their english wasn''t great. And, I guess I''m still mortified regarding the turn of "the Fed ex drop off question." Some posters made him seem like he was Charlie Manson.
Correcting someone''s grammer *really* is a pet peeve of mine.
I do agree that certain things push my grammatorial
buttons. Hearing "Ain''t" is akin to nails across a chalkboard.
"Anyways" did make me laugh. Don''t use anyway or anyways. I use "anyhoo" or "anywho"
But, Southerners have a bespeak all of their own.

I am glad this matter has been cleared up--I feel better. And I understand completely what you are saying F & I--case in point that FedEx thread, which I wanted to bring up earlier as a prime example of how ideas/postings can be easily misunderstood.
Well, I won''t let this crappy weather we are experiencing--blowing snow and -4 C--dampen my spirit, as we are off to two parties this afternoon
cheers--Sharon

Okay I will entertain y''all (plural) with my school based speech language pathologist findings of the worst grammar EVER:
Who your name is?
Who go it be? (meaning "Whose turn is it?")
She coming.
I don''t want no more. (Double negatives drive me crazy!)
Why you be doing that?
And many, many more that I cannot remember.
Oh and if you''re bored, sometime I''ll tell you about the things that I say only in the functional skills classroom
I also am guilty of the "UP" thing.

if I used all of the regionalisms no-one would have a clue what I was talking about!
this is a very bizarre story that I concocted to get as many scouseisms in as I possibly could... please don''t assume anything from the fact that the story seems very negative, booze-fueled and violent!!!
a''yt kid! anyroad, ah''ve just seen dis''avvy dis dead antwackie ring the kind arlbiddy''d ''av. den I ''ad a barney wiv dis right beaut cos he said ar''kid was an arsebandit. den it was a''yt cos on dewsdee we ad a bevvy and got cabbaged. the kip of the pub was so shit de just got lecky. after dat we went to the mackies, and der was dis manc der, e said me bin lids ''ad nits, I told him he''d end up in the ozzie if e didn''t shut it. e said deedodohdondeedoh, I said d''yrekon? den he ad his eye-wiped cos he fagged out in de end, just said jib it and got off. me mate said izrite and we went on a bender. der was dis bluenose plazzy scouser, a baird from over der water and a lid from scotty road, right scally he wos. e called us a smart arse, but he was spot on. I said ''we''ll see yews later'' cos we were gonna get plastered termora, an he''s getting us some trainies that fell off a trannie van. den this woolyback toff said suttun about me ma, so I lamped im one and said "zarafakt"? I said genoa and then got off ''ome.
translation:
hello my friend! anyway. this afternoon I saw this very old-fashioned ring, that an old lady would wear. then I had a fight with this nasty man because he said my brother was gay. they it was alright because on tuesday we had an alcoholic beverage and became drunk. the state of the pub was poor, it looked as though it had just been connected to the national grid. after that we went to McDonalds, and there was a man from Manchester there and he said my children had head lice. I informed the gentleman that he would end up in hospital if he didn''t refrain from talking. he said, they do though, don''t they? I asked him if he reckoned that was the case. then he was disappointed because he wussed out. he said forget it and he left. then my friend and I had another drink. there was this Everton supporter from the outskirts of liverpool, a girl from Wirral and a boy from Scotland Road who was a ruffian. He said I was a know-it-all and he was correct. I told them that we would see them another time, because we knew we would have a drink tomorrow. and he is getting me some training shoes that were stolen from the back of a Ford Transit Van. Then this rich person from outside of Liverpool said something about my mother, so I hit him and asked him if it was a fact? I asked the man if he knew my mother, then I left to go home.
