The word "speak " seems to have gone out of existence, everything is""I will talk with you later".
And the worst is those Yank idiotic sayings where they add words that make zero sense for things like "give up already"
They have no comprehension of the tenses either.
Watched an episode of Jeremy Kyle the other day and they were doing a lie detector and the guy was saying: "I didn't do nothing" over and over again and not one person picked him up on it, double negative which means he did do something.
It will only get worse, there's a teacher training advert on in England at the moment trying to get people into the job and they interview young teachers who have been doing the job, one of them a dozy girl actually says: "And they all look up at you and I'm like" and pulls a face. What hope have the kids got when the teachers can't even speak proper English!!!!
When I worked behind a bar they would regularly ask: "Can I get a pint of Carling?" and I'd reply "No you can't that is what I am here to do or did you mean to say "may I have a pint of carling?"
The I didn't do nothing" double negative annoys me , but what annoys me more is when the person saying it is too dense to even grasp the point when it is explained to them.
Or if 2 guys are speaking to each other and one say I was "talking to" and I mutter "speak , its speak you moron".
There is an old saying those who can , do, those who can't teach, and look at the state of the teachers, 2 ex teachers post on here and df and looking at their posts you can see why the kids are the way they are.
I do have some sympathy for teachers in that kids today for the most part are ignorant , badly mannered, and reared and think the world revolves.
You can not ever shout at the fuckers, let alone give them a slap, all with some allergy that was invented recently, or some other invented adhd type ailment.
You only have to look at facebook to see some of the English people murdering their own language.
I remember when every class had a fat kid,and they were the one bullied , and although it was wrong it gave them incentive to shift the weight now its like you are the odd one out if you are not obese, like a kid with both a mam and a dad, another rarity.
i am so sorry for my actions these last ten years, i'm going through a tough time
