Language evolves and everyone with a brain knows that. Only old sick people scared and angry and how others live thier lives don't realize it's not thier world anymore.

Indeed ^^^

Bad grammar is so cliché, OP

So we should language to evolve so we all sound like the characters in Idiocracy?

Lol...allow. I hate trying to do this on a phone.

This is an example of getting rid of adjectives, r5. That's devolving, not evolving.

I think they are just typos OP

No edit function on DL

Exactly, r13.

OP is ignoranted.

Toss salad, ice tea, old fashion,.

[quote]That's devolving, not evolving

Yes, you are devolving, you'll be dead so yes, you won't see the evolution of language. Guess, what? We don't say 'icebox' and 'britches' much any more. That's how language changed. Apparently you don't know history. Don't stress, no one cares for your opinions anyway.

Casted.

R17 kind of cranky tonight aren't you?

[quote] Casted.

Is it the case that your examples, ‘icebox’ and ‘britches’, were replaced by words that came into use as the result of illiteracy?

That’s the issue we’re discussing here: literacy. Not the evolution of language.

It IS a devolution if we’re changing language to accommodate people who are ignorant and uneducated.

Whoops ^^

Got so fired up by the widespread dropping of -eds that I done added an -ed where it weren’t warranted.

Apologies ^^

If she really wanted kids she'd adopt or get a surrogate.

^^^wrong thread

down here in these parts, folks tend to reckon I ain't got the best grammar. But that's just how we talk 'round these parts, y'know? I reckon it's got some charm to it, adds a little somethin' to our character. Some folks might call it ignorin' and reckon we oughta speak like them perfect ol' robots with their fancy words, but heck, who gives a darn? It's a style, plain and simple. Ain't hurtin' nobody, and it ain't like everybody's doin' it. So why fuss 'bout it? Diverse styles, they make this ol' world keep on spinnin'.

McBongo has entered the chat.

Mark Twain, William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, Zora Neale Hurston, Eudora Welty, Harper Lee, Carson McCullers, Truman Capote, James Lee Burke, Rick Bragg, Larry Brown, Cormac McCarthy, Ron Rash, Ernest J. Gaines, Alice Walker, Reynolds Price, Clyde Edgerton, and Pat Conroy, they're all mighty fine southern writers who done captured them characters with their own unique southern twang, adding a whole heap of flavor to the grand tapestry of southern literature.

They're fun to play on stage and movies too. Go on, do a southern accent. It's fun.

Thought of this thread when I read this article's title:

[quote] TikTok remove account of teen who randomly walked into families home

One shudders, R30.

OP, deal with it.

[quote] These commentators are so bias

Only dumb people who don't understand the difference between "biased" and "bias" say this. Trailer park trash that gulps down the never ending diarrhea from Fox News.

R33, you’re bias!!!

Articles are also disappearing from American English.

A weird thing I saw tonight is "He's so art". I don't know whether that means he's so artistic or he's a piece of art.

Don't eat drain pasta.

Use of Ebonics is becoming more widespread. Thanks @R35, I thought I was the only one who was noticing that.

Language has changed.

Bad grammar has me shook!

Most people I know personally still use participle adjectives correctly. I think younger folks are truncating many parts of speech and modifying spellings because that’s how they write online. Many TikTok comments don’t even use punctuation. It’s takes me longer to read that way, but I’ll croak in a few decades and language will go on without me.

I think it’s pretty interesting to look at long arcs through history. Dr. Geoff Lindsey’s YouTube page is one of my favorites for speech and language discussion.

Thanks OP - I, too have noticed this and wondered about the origin. I’m not in the USA so Ebonics is new to me.

This is not about the evolution of words/colloquialisms. “Language change” is an abysmal rationalization for the horrific grammar being foisted on the reading public by the grammatically lazy/inept, the woefully ignorant and the fuckwits who were wanking in their school loo rather than sitting in English class learning correct grammar.

Enough with the truncation! Let’s bring back casted, drowneded, skinded, & cross-eyeded!

Lol@R44…

I'm American. No, that's no accepted English here. It sounds illiterate.

Everyone is so prejudice.

You right.

In another thread I saw “stain glass windows”.

THEY'RE CUTTING OFF THE ED!!!!!!!

OP, we have a lot of really bad trolls with poor English. This is nothing new. In fact it's one of the surefire signs of a troll.

On a thread today I saw “more urbanize” rather than “urbanized”.

I know a ched who calls one of his popular dishes "Blacken Chicken" on his menus.

*chef

Yes, OP, I agree, as when all the Kardashian women are referred to incorrectly as being "badass" when of course they are truthfully "badassed."

Does anyone be wantin' any stew beef?

[quote] Yes, OP, I agree, as when all the Kardashian women are referred to incorrectly as being "badass" when of course they are truthfully "badassed."

r56 No, when the term is borrowed directly from Ebonics, you drop the "-ed".

ED. Isn't there a pill for that?

First it was 1 space instead of 2 spaces between sentences. Then it was eliminating cursive because "no one writes by hand anymore." Now it's -ed endings.

These kids today are destroying civilization as we know it.

The bias/biased one has been happening for a while.

People are just profoundly stupid.

[quote] hwhile

The verb "pet" is "petted" in the past tense and participle forms, but no one seems to care but me. "She wants to be pet." NO.

It also seems like the -ly is disappearing from many adverbs.

An attorney I know has used his Wyoming accent to great advantage in the courtroom for decades.

I saw a post with “challenge” instead of “challenged”.

R56, that one I don't get.

"Stew beef" is a thing. It's a cheap cut of beef, cut up into stew-sized* pieces.

"Beef stew" is a thing, but it has no "-ed" to drop.

I've only heard "stewed beef" in the context of recipes and description of more complicated dishes than plain old beef stew.

*However, the "-d" has been disappearing from "-sized" constructions for quite some time.

I'm talking about ghetto Jamaicans, thanks.

Why would someone be badassed? Possessed of, or having, a bad ass?

It’s slang.

That’s badass!, e.g.

I know it's not the same thing but it has to do with -ed. Why do so many people write payed instead of paid? I've seen it at least a dozen times in the past couple years.

"She was in drag." They should say she was dragged. Complete illiteracy.

r17 = proudly stupid

R68, "-size" is sometimes correct. I can't find the style rule I'm thinking of, but here's an example in usage.

I know a short guy. His friends call him Fun-size (like the candy). Really glad they don’t call him “Fun-sized”.

I had a student turn in a paper in which she used the word "dint."

Took me a moment to figure out that she meant "didn't."

They write as if they're texting.

I hope you took off points for that, R81.

R76 - I’ve been seeing that quite a bit too. I’ve also been noticing many people who, when writing about money, put the dollar sign after the amount (55$).

r83 That twat Ke$ha is cringe.

R83, I've seen that a few times as well and assumed the writer was foreign, except that most foreign currencies are also written the symbol before the number.

Now, I'm horrified (MARY!) to realize they're just writing it they way they would say it. I don't think it's possible that they've never seen $55 written, but apparently it doesn't sink it.

R84 “cringe” is not an adjective.

I do be shook when someone I luv gets to dyin' and some sumbish says:

"Sorry for your lossed."

I have also seen a lot of people writing 23' instead of '23 for 2023 (on Instagram and elsewhere), including people who should certainly know better.

[quote] “cringe” is not an adjective.

r86 Okay, CRINGED. Just kidding. I guess the correct word would be Cringeworthy. But CRINGE sounds better.

I CANNOT with people who insist on continuing to gatekeep the word "cringe." You don't have to use it. You don't have to love it. But millions of people use the word, happily, and no one is getting hurt.

I cringed when I read r90.

Yeah, R90 was pretty cringe, gotta say

R90 Almost as bad as people who say “I cannot” completely out of context.

You’re illiterate - just own it.

“Dint” is a word- “by dint of”...

[quote] “Dint” is a word- “by dint of”...

r94 Is that where Dinty Moore comes from?

Isn't that the rock music movement that came out of Seattle in the 90's?

I saw "has really soften" instead of "has really softened".

R98 I wrote that and knew I fucked up after it posted and couldn't edit. I edited my sentence in the middle which changed the tense. and forgot to fix.

Thank you for having broughten this matter to our attention.

I know someone who says "boughten".

R4, all that time ago, announced that lack of education, with feral behavior and barking speech is how a "new" generation will continue informed development of our species.

I be spooked!

Yes, Lawdy!
