Ideas on Correct Speach

[Richter]

ITT: Confess your buttons and get them pushed!

[Payne]

I HAET RICHTER!

HE'S ALL UP IN MY FACE, LIEK, ALL THE TIME!

[hooplala]

Actually, I really really really hate it when people say things like "I'll try and do that".

Why is the 'and' in there?  The correct way to say it is "I'll try TO do that".

I read it all the time, even by established authors.

(If it's in dialogue I will let it go, since assholes really do say it, but in NARRATION?  C'mon!)

I really hate it when people say things like "WE SHUD NOOK IRAQ AND GIVE IT TO THE JOOOS!!"

does THAT count as an annoying convo lead-in?

[Triple Zero]

hey richter, can i ask you a question?

Can you? 

I ALREADY DID HAHAHAHAHA

so, what do you say?

[Idem]

on a separate but equal tangent:¹

When people say "For all intensive purposes" instead of "for all intents and purposes" I want to staple their mouth shut.

I'm also somewhat sensitive to the word Whom but I only ever correct other editors on it and really only because it's annoying to do so.





¹ Eep, did that count as one of those annoying, otiose lead-ins?

When I was a kid, I thought that was the one way of saying/typing it.  I always assumed everybody was saying "For all intensive purposes".

[Iron Sulfide]

But its so much fun to begin an argument with "Riddle me this . . ."

Dammit.

that's not really a question of if you can ask a question. i think it would work well in a piece of writing with the right context, or flamboyant use in a discussion/argument, though.

"Shut up! Shut up, you American.  You always talk, you Americans. You talk and you talk and say 'let me tell you something' and 'riddle me this'. Well, you're dead now, so shut it!"

(Technically, you only asked if you were capable of speach.  Self - answering question! HA!)

[Iron Sulfide]

where my prepositions at?

the use of "like," "hella," changing "-er" words to "-a" without context or, really, ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER.

"like, i'm hella down, foo'. where you at?"

these are my "peers." fuck.

Hell, I only learned when you told Cain a while back.

in all fairness, i can't really speak or write english. i just copypaste stuff from the internet.

i have no idea what it means, either.

If anything, it gives you the chance of capturing correct grammar.
Your method is superior to many english speakers, especially on the internet.
From what I've learned of other language, I can appreciate what a nightmare english is.

Acceptable seguays:
"Help!"
"Fire!"
"for example"
"Oh shit"
"Fuck"
