Message: [QUOTE="Kembacity, post: 2444359, member: 3815"] I get the over-arching idea, but the way some people treat it leads me to believe they're racist and see him saying "we was" as a reason to call him an idiot. It's a cultural thing, and I wish it weren't and that everyone spoke correctly, I just think a basketball coach maybe is held to different standards than your cardiologist. Personally, I've heard people who I respected intellectually drop an "aks" into conversation which made me hear a record scratch. I agree overall that in the business world, in certain circles, one should speak "well" or "correctly" as it is generally understood. That being said, how many times have you all heard people use worse/worst incorrectly? That also gives me a record scratch, in addition to "I could care less" which infuriates me because if you spend 5 seconds thinking about the words you're saying, you realize you mean to say you couldn't care less. The thing is, I don't think could care less is a cultural thing, its just flat out wrong logically. I have a white coworker who is bright in programming/CRM management, and he's from the south, and will say things like "I seen that", and it doesn't make me think less of him. Dom Amore is a writer and usually has misspellings in his articles and tweets. That, is despicable, you're a writer... hire a personal editor if you need it to write correctly. He recently tweeted about the Arkansas game and what an embarrassment it was on many levels, and in said tweet he wrote "UCon"... to me, that was more embarrassing [/QUOTE]
