I like how Cary picks up on the mob culture, when many brains become one that is smaller and radically less edu-ma-cated. The quantity over quality that seems to direct groups. Moo, baaa!
I agree with and was about to post something similar to In the Woods who said:
"Frankly, these days, I'm just happy when someone speaks in a complete sentence with correct grammar. It's especially nice when words are pronounced correctly, too. And when someone uses a word I rarely hear outloud, like "hegemony," I think I could be in love."
Recently a co-worker used lachrymose while talking about wine. He slipped it in there in such a clever and humorous way that I did feel love! I expect very little from people I am just chatting with, at least when it comes to language.
LW, there are words used more often than carbon that need to be changed: nigger/nigga ( or any other racial, negatively charged words, a long list ), hella ( find some new way to express 'very' ), like ( when used more than once in a sentence ).
I'll be thinking of you as I go through my day, noticing all the incorrect grammar and misuse of language. Maybe I can even learn something! Icky thump!
