Topic: Axle vs. Axel

[WHITE_TRASH]

I, as an old fart    , would like to see a ban on posting in txtspk. There has to be at least someplace where good old fashioned English is spoken! (lol!)

OMG!...I would rather try to decipher a post in Gaelic than to muddle through a post written in the conversational style of a 13 year old girl. Even if the point the is being made (or attempting to be made) is the 4wheel equivalent of a cure for cancer...can one take another seriously when there is such a weak (or week) grasp of the language? ROTFLMAO!!!

Holy Jesus hopped up on grape drank at a kenya show that is fawking perfect!!!  I'm far from perfect with my weak grasp of the English language that's for sure.  But it makes people whom otherwise appear to have at least an average intelligence seem dumber than a brick to not spell out things like 2 or 4 etc.  Those are numbers NOT words.  When people can't/don't/won't even make an attempt at spelling things out it warps my feeble mind.

This thread needs a sticky and should be required reading, before every post. Let's also reroute the entire internet through so every person has to see it before they can do anything.

Something makes sense, it doesn't make since  

If somebody has something for sale:  do you still got it?    do you still have it? 

Lots of people lately have had stuff for sell

This is quiet a thread. I see the grammar nazis couldn't keep quite anymore.

"I just bought new tires for my car, they are very quite."

"Wow, your lifted truck has quiet a stance now!"

Oh, that reminds me of one I see on craigslist all the time:  car has new tiers

Here's another one that drives me nuts but not many people pay attention to: Vacume/Vacuum

And get this straight guys:

The women are going on a trip together.

He is married to that woman.

"Woman, make me a pie!" (that one was for Dave   )

This thread is almost more than I can bare... I can barley stand it!!  


Don't get me started on the many variations of have got / have not got    I haven't got the time for it. I'm afraid this one has become so deeply ingrained in our language, it is probably taught as being correct in English classes. If English is still taught in schools, other than ESL. Say, does anyone else remember diagramming sentences?

  what's funniest about that is that you enlightened me to that, and I still catch you doing it sometimes

I know.... I occasionally embarrass myself. I hear it so much every day, even from the TV news talkers who should know better.... it's just so commonplace it almost seems normal, but it ain't.

Something I'm noticing more and more on commercials and tv in general, the use of is instead of has.  I'm paying close attention and they're full on saying is.

I now this thread hasn't covered this yet know has it?  Doea anybody now?   Yes or no?
