116202: Where I live I fondly refer to as the land of the toothless sister fuckers, though metropolitan Dallas is only an hour away ; >
Though our rate of illiteracy leads me to understand the failure of our educational system coupled with the uncaring attitude of many folks regarding their own education as they come through it, and find both sad.


Tiw: True, the decline of "proper" grammar seems a byproduct of the above stated educational issues along with our multicultural society, which by nature mangles the common principles of language on a constant basis.
For myself, though I have a pretty firm grasp on our language and the proper use of it, I murder it at will for my own amusement or as a tool to convey a particular point :>

Aussi Frank : good to have you cats from down under with us, thanks ! I hope that before I leave the building I get a chance to visit and personally view some of the wonders of your back yard !

aDCBeast: Wanna see some great examples of arrogance? I think you can find that attribute in a lot of places besides the good ole USA you seem so fond of continually deriding. Try Europe for starters ; > Self righteousness, hmmm ... that one also exists here as well as again many other points on the globe, though I feel your own constant carping against our system here certainly rates in that same vein though, I doubt personal introspection has allowed you to envision it in that way.

I wish we would just pull out of all our bases around the world, taking our troops and our big $$ we spend there and bring 'em all home. Our role as the worlds police force doesn't seem to be working and at too great a cost to maintain this futile position in trying to do so.

Then simply fortify the borders with our troops and halt all further immigration (we have plenty thanks), focus our attentions on the internal problems we have such as our approach to education that more nearly mirrors a national day care system these days. Work to re-integrate the folks that wanna live off the public dole instead of trying to generate their own destinies and futures. Limit welfare to a finite term of reasonable time to try and eliminate the type of culture Lyndon Johnson envisioned in his "Great Society" dream.
Though we here in America have a lot of problems an issues assuredly, I still love my country and wouldn't wanna be anywhere else as a permenant resident.

when 70 percent of all published print in the world is in english and every industrialized, wealthy nation either speaks english or the corresponding education system requires that english be learned maybe you should SPEAK ENGLISH

After weighing the above factors, George Weber, author of "Top Languages: The World’s 10 Most Influential Languages" (Language Today, Vol. 2, Dec 1997), provides this list:

1. English (37)
2. French (23)
3. Spanish (20)
4. Russian (16)
5. Arabic (14)
6. Chinese (13)
7. German (12)

9. Portuguese (10)

Wow aDCBeast, you managed to encompass arrogance, selfrightousness and even managed to package it all into a nicely sophomoric little blurb, how impressive !

No matter what candle you use to inspect it by, ENGLISH or at least the strange version of it we typically use here in the USA, is STILL the most commonly understood tongue here, whether it is the recognized "official" language or not (which we don't have BTW).

By that reasoning alone it should be expected that it be understood and spoken here. My belief is speak it or do just like the T shirt says.

Or ... perhaps a modern version of the "Tower of Babel" seems more logical to you Beast.

Gotta agree on both counts. I wish there were a graceful way to pull out of Iraq, but at this juncture that dudn seem likely. Then again I ain't interested in seein that shit hole as the new milleniums "Viet Nam" either, which I have a great fear of :
