[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by vsmith</i> <br /><br />Thanks Phil, <br /> <br />Take it from an American observing the Ghetto-fication of our language, KEEP FIGHTING. I honestly cannot beleive it when I see some college kid or a guy guy in a business suit talking ghetto, I have to fight to keep from laughing. Its bad enough that the kids in our poorer neighborhoods cant speak English at a fourth grade level, then complain because they cant get beyond the most basic employment levels. "Yo yo yo, No-un will gib me a job cus da cant undastan me.." They dont learn this manner of speach at schools, they learn it from there peers, and from MTV videos who teach them that Eminem and Fifty Cent (Pronounced Fity cent) are roll models, I fear for America's future... <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Vic, <br /> <br />Are you sure you are from the LEFT COAST? I see a gram of conservatism in your statement, but then again even Michael Savage likes trains. <br /> <br />I would very much like to place some of the words on this forum in use in everyday langauge. I have been interjecting these words and phrases appearenly unawares. <br />I was told so by my wife...too much time in the forum, she says?! <br /> <br />I'm sure you will all find my accent to be strange, it is purely a television one, with elements of Tex-Mex, Texas and Southern accents made to sound ridiculous by a slight lisp (of which i have actively worked to remove). I hate the sound of my voice, but people seem to like my singing... [url]http://carrales.tripod.com [/url] <br /> <br />Capt Carrales
