If you have a point, make it.

By using "words" such as dis, ain't, etc. makes one sound stupid,. THAT'S my point. Whether these "words" are found in a dictionary or not.

I never saw a notice that all posts here need to be cleared through you for proper British use of the English lanuage

Nor did I.That's the WHOLE POINT of FR, to voice your OPINONS, and observations.

If you don't, then cut your losses.

Gee, I guess I didn't notice that YOU were the one to decide when a debate was COMPLETE. Forgive me, all knowing one.

Most of us don't come here to debate the fair use of , or your interurpution of propper King's english. Just FYI.

Nor did I.That's the WHOLE POINT of FR, to voice your OPINONS, and observations

Most of us try to limit our opinions and discussions to the area of conservative politics.

BTW.. I am not at all a person to make a spelling police announcement. But if I were going around correcting everyone's english and scolding everyone,I would make double, triple sure everything was spelled correctly!

My mother was a stickler for proper speech and tirelessly corrected my siblings and me until we pretty much knew the rules by rote.

As she used to tell us: "People won't necessarily notice when you speak correctly, but they'll notice it when you don't."

This is especially valuable advice in situations such as job interviews and speeches/presentations to large crowds.
