My parents talk that all the time.<br /><br />There is nothing wrong with a ending a sentence with a preposition. It was some asshole's drive to push English grammar into Latin syntax. It's also perfectly fine to profanely split infinitives...another rule forced on English for all the wrong fucking reasons.MJenkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12761003604210840898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781586185594177386.post-64220930217960870372010-09-09T13:18:50.974-04:002010-09-09T13:18:50.974-04:00Bev, drawers as in a chester? You know, a chester ...Bev, drawers as in a chester? You know, a chester drawers? Drives me nuts! When I visited NH and MA I loved hearing "wicked pissah." Cracked me the hell up.<br /><br />I could write a book on the speech and diction issues around here. "We went and seen the movie" is one of my favorites. Went and seen. Nice. <br /><br />Elliott, I've always used the word "coke" like it's generic. There's orange coke, grape coke, etc. I grew up calling it "co-cola" and still do at times.Rich Girl Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11625073074027025937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781586185594177386.post-55387647620746469182010-09-09T10:00:17.690-04:002010-09-09T10:00:17.690-04:00Oh yeah, that would irk me too. "Needs cut d...Oh yeah, that would irk me too. "Needs cut down?" WTF?<br /><br />Though I have to say that I delight in working a good swear word into a perfectly good fucking sentence now and then. <br /><br />Around here, it's more about the accent than the grammar. You've all heard the old "Pahk the cah in Hahvahd yahd" thing, I'm sure, and it's alive & well even in southern NH, not just Mass. One pronunciation that bothers me a lot is instead of "drawer" they say, "draw."Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275839554554036296noreply@blogger.com
