"It ain't sooooooooooooo."
It is true, though.
Nice try, but you still aren't getting it.
Use "fixing to" anywhere that you would use the phrase "about to."
As in: "I am about to scream if you Yanquis keep butchering proper English."
This translates to: "I am fixing to scream if you Damned Yanquis keep butchering proper English."
'Fixing to' always refers to something you will be doing very soon.
I'm fixing to make some Breakfast.
I'm fixing to go fishing.'
I'm fixing to practice my deer hunting skills on Yanquis.
I allow that you understand it now, so I reckon I'll wait until you use it incorrectly again, before I say anything else.
We still have one more day before y'all's rain clears out of here. Only 60's today, and then 70's for the rest of the week.
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE JOKING!!!!
This from a Country Boy who is trying to teach me the proper use of the words Fixing and Reckon
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA .... I would stick around for a response but I'm fixing to take a shower ..
And I thought you Country Folks tell us Yanquis to use the word "AIN'T getting it"
We never had a class in my High School called "Crawfish Science." We did have all kinds of English classes though.
Could there be something wrong with your computer .. hehehehe
I guess that means you are NOT having trouble then, huh??
This is what I get everytime when I click there:
"Sorry, we could not process your request. Please try again in a few moments."
I'll reckon that be a fine idea ...
And I'm sure it did wonders to improve your version of "Proper English" I'll reckon
And you'd be correct. Believe it or not, I have had my work published before, when I was a news writer.
And PLENTY of it has been published on the web. (Outside of FR, that is. REAL writing.)
Not likely. This is a Macintosh, remember??
Evidently, JohnRob has limited the maximum number of posts that you can retrieve under "Comments" to 100. 250 won't work.
And you have the NERVE to ridicule "my version of proper English?"
I reckon I have overestimated you Yanquis.
No habla ingles.
Again .. could there be something wrong with your computer?? .. hehe
As for your writtings .. I'd like to the see them some time but for now I think it would be a good time to get in the shower
I made a comment that might upset a certain Sabertooth Tiger .. lol
