I'll probably think you are a lazy idiot. |

Yet another bit of slack English that has recently made its way across the pond. |

Language evolves over time. The previous examples show cutting edge, not improper, usage of the english language. |

Ustacould speak good English. Now they ain't anything you kin do about it, iz it? |

Cutting edge, my bottom They are all signs of the increasing decline of Western civilization, IMHO. |

Yes, you could of made a bit more of an effort. I would of. Arrgh. |

Stringing letters together to form words is a type of puzzle. Some people simply are not very good at puzzles. |

I agree with the language evolving thing, but these examples of stupidity are just that, NOT "cutting edge". I hope that was just being snarky. 8)= And Stryderg wins the thread with his excellent comment! |

I blame the British in general, but particularly Frothers. |

If spelling should match speech, it seems we could shorten it to "probly" and save some 2nd grader a few mistakes on a spelling test. |

Is it more acceptable if it's quoting dialect? |
miniMo | 15 Dec 2016 12:24 p.m. PST |
I don't think Shakespere was quoting dialect for Hamlet. ~,~ |

It is the whole dumbing down of society. Our grandparents are rolling over right now. |

Hey…don't blame us Brits, it's an American creation. John Kennedy Toole used itin print first to mimic a dialect in your fair lands. Apologies will be accepted for another example of American cultural Imperialism , I blame Charles Dickins for visiting your country and writing about it. We thought the world ended just past Wales up until then and you would fall off the edge of the world if you went West.

ChargeSir, seems like J K Rowling is to blame. Her American characters in "Fantastic beasts . . " are speaking the unknown form of American English that went out after Dame Agatha Christie retired. :/ Then again, our version of English uses "brought" as the past tense of "to buy" so what do I know? :) |
ChargeSir | 18 Dec 2016 2:46 p.m. PST |
I am sure J K Rowling is just striking back for ….. Dick Van Dyke. That accent put Anglo- American relations back 50 years. 😀 |
