Why is this substandard way of speaking becoming more prevalent?
Skyrad replied to birdlike's topic in Speakers Corner
I'd argue that there is already. Then defending their use of the substandard English that keeps them easily recognizable as the underclass implies that you're fine with it being that way. I wasn't defending it simply agreeing with your vison of the future and stating that I believe that to some degree it has already happened.

So what you're saying is that we should not expect anyone who speaks in this way to rise up to become those things? Doesn't that open the door to them complaining that they're being "kept down"? What you pointed out seems to just rationalize an "elitist" system... It opens the door to having the members of the demographic groups that speak this way (be they black, white, hispanic or other) continue using the substandard language and then those who use proper English get criticized for not helping them get educated to the point where they are competitive for those top jobs... We'll be accused of being complacent about having a hierarchical society and too happy to sit at the top of it. I know it's not new. I'm saying that I think it is becoming MORE PREVALENT. Blame entertainment, movies, cartoons, rap music... it IS showing up more and more in people's speech! Combine this with school-aged kids submitting term papers and book reports with "SMILEYS" in them, and txt msg abbrvtns, and I fear for the "future" that everyone says our kids are. Who's going to write legal briefs, new laws, treaties...? Will there be a dedicated underclass that is free to be as dumb as they want, and a dedicated overclass that takes care of everything that requires standardization to work correctly? I'd argue that there is already. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca -

Apparently if you maul the English language and speak like an un-educated three year old you can then claim that the language that you are speaking is actually called 'American'.

Or maybe they just don't own cats. Maybe the rest of the people aren't doing what you're doing because they have noticed that the price per pound is already listed in small writing next to the overall price.

LMAO... I never bought into that who equal nonsense, women are not equal to men sometimes they have the advantage over men and sometimes the other way round, equal? No As for you not blowing up the boat I understand. "Why blow them up all at the same time when you can fry them one at a time" right?

Or to put in another way.... The USA was late entering WWI and WWII but has been trying to make up for it ever since by trying its hardest to start WWIII When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Hitler called off the invasion of England after the Batle of Britian having failed to destroy the RAF and gain air superiority. Years before the USA even entered WWII.

A good question, I don't think it would happen anymore, not many gentlemen left in the world today... But I have another question for you. If you were on the boat in Batman (Dark Knight) with the civillians and had the trigger for the bomb on the boat load of convicts would you have pressed te button?

OMG, did you just give cristelsabine credit for this "outing"? About three other people have been calling me this "Jeffrey" for a week or two, now. Hey PJ, my sincere appologies for not being your cyber stalker. I'll try to pay you more attention from now on. BTW when are you going to pay the man the money you owe for that bet?

Who the fuck asked you? Jeffrey, slow down (if this is ever possible to you): It's the internet, you post here and have to expect replies. If wanted or not. Every poster at dizzycom is allowed to reply to your posts (or what you call post) Even I do not understand why they bother to do so ..... From everywhere in the world. You're like an open book: Visible. Jeez. How about an anger management (training)??? Even after 4 years of vacation, you're still like a cooking pot. DAMN!!! Is Birdlike Peaceful Jeffery????? LMFAO... I didn't realise, now it all makes sense. Damn PJ good to have you back. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

I disagree, as Kalend said, some of us new and voiced our concern right from the start. I predicted the mess Iraq has become, and that no WMDs existed at the time of the invasion, it wasn't a lucky guess. My prediction was based on the intelligence available at the time a knowledge of the culture of the Arabs and the lessons from history in the region along with the science. Anyone who really wanted to know the truth could have. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=197415#197415 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2491100#2491100 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=323221#323221 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=463216#463216 When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

You think that 91% of people in prison are innocent? You think that these six murders are acceptable losses because some people are wrongly imprisoned?
