$#%^ You, Jared Sullinger

[Mr. McGibblets]

How about "he's in Boston" or "we're here." Doesn't add extra syllables or take much effort. All it shows is someone is actually educated.
Yes, I don't know why I typed "State." Embarassing faux part on my part. I s'pect I be hit with neg reps.

Well, now that you mention it...I majored in French and practiced with several coeds every chance I got.

Lol, you majored in French and you don't even ****ing know it's faux pas and not "faux part" - Pot meet kettle in regards to calling others uneducated and embarassing "faux parts" [sic].

I don't think it's being a snob to expect conjugation of verbs. English does change. Words come and go. But, IINM, there hasn't been a time when conjugation has been completely ignored - except in the case of Ebonics. Sorry, I do not accept Ebonics. To me, it's just an excuse for saying people were to busy being thugs and "hoppers" to concentrate on English.

You sound like a ****ing dunce. "except in the case of Ebonics." Have you never had experience with creole languages or what they are? Changing conjugations is often a major part of them. Hmm, but I guess many Creole languages are spoken by blacks so you probably will dismiss that. This reminds me of people who rip on the gutteral T that many Utahns use (basically not pronouncing it) and acting like it's only a stupid Utah thing - no it's not. Similar dialects and accents do it all over the world. Ever noticed Ricky Gervais often drops the Ts in the middle of words?

Actually, it's not even that; my daughter is in 2nd grade and she knows how to conjugate, or at least does it without even thinking. In this case, it's a conscious effort on the part of many in the african-american community to set themselves apart from the rest of society. Sorry, but in my experience hiring people, I would definitely NOT select someone who came in and said, "I be happy to work for your company." On the other hand, I once did hire someone for whom English was a 2nd language and we worked through a lot of communication problems.

And wow, you mean your second grade daughter speaks in the same dialect you do and conjugates in a similar manner to you and your predominantly white city/schools? What a surprise. Here's some white people who conjugate differently than your So Cal Valley girl daughter:

Just because people don't conjugate doesn't make it ebonics, ignorant, stupid, or uneducated. Your feelings are not unique though and it is precisely why some people from all cultures employ code switching/mixing when around people of different groups - it's to please people like you who feel your dialect is the best dialect.

Your comments show quite a bit of ignorance about linguistics/language variation as a whole. Read up a bit on descriptivism v. prescriptivism. Maybe you are already familiar with all of this and are just way too smart for me to appreciate your thoughts.

So basically take away the mormons and no problems?

btw I'm not mormon, don't have many Mormon friends, and LOVE Utah.

Maybe it's because I was raised in Utah so I'm used to it, but I honestly feel like Mormons have zero effect on my life outside of some quirky liquor laws.

If you hate Utah why do you live here Stoked?

Sis and Toots are why I live here. New to be close to them. Otherwise I'd be in Seattle or something.

Plenty of Mormons are not the problem. Same can be said for the people that move To Utah because of what Utah is than bitch and moan about what Utah is.

I hope numbs didn't get any on your scarf. That'd suck.

I don't get it. What did Trey do? Sullinger doesn't want to play in Utah. So? Sullinger won't be in the league at the end of his contract.
