What do you sound like?

I hain't gonna Warsh the winders! I'm not really sure where ain't turned into hain't...I've even seen it written both ways in old books, I think. When I was a kid it was pounded in us to talk "proper" but the older I get...Who cares? That's what makes everyone different. Why do we all want to sound the same!! I've known some super intelligent people that didn't write or speak "right" and I've known the opposite to that too...I think it means very little.

True story: I had an English teacher who was very adamant about us students not using the word "ain't." She corrected us every day (sometimes more than once) with, "Ain't ain't a word 'cause it ain't in the dictionary." It just so happened that the powers that be added "ain't" to the dictionary. Boy did we go hog wild using it! LOL!

I like to drink pop. Soda, I don’t care for.

That brings up an interesting aspect of it.

You dont always have to hear a person speak in order to know that their nickname is "Squeeky".

In Milwaukee WI they drink soda, the rest of Wisconsin calls it pop. The again, in Milwaukee they drink from a bubbler, not a water fountain.
