Nonstandard usage is carnival. Let any without sin cast the first . . . ouch, oooh, hey, mercy!

Irregardless is right. I ain't never heard no regardless. Regardless of where we's from, you got to respect the dialect. Respect the dialect.


I agree 100%. But, let's not fergit the portance of the alphybet done being used. Like I done said befour, "If it don't use the Latin alphabet, it ain't no real language." I was gonna use that fer the topic of my PhD disertation. But, my addvizer said that is so obvious, that I needed a different topic.

Even in England they use a real language cause its the Latin alphabet.

Wait. You are saying that the Latin alphabet is required for a language to be 'real.' That does not make the converse necessarily true. Therefore, use of the Latin alphabet may not be sufficient to establish that England's language is real. In fact, I contend that the English speak a mutant imaginary language of clucking, guttural inflection, and vowel misapplication. The Americans speak a language called English. God knows what the English speak.

You do make a strong case. They say there is an exception to every rule.

I got a hell of a lot more smiles on the street living in Seoul than I do living in New York City, and I'm far more presentable here.
