"What" ain't no country I ever heard of! They speak English in What?

or how about
Blagged? Do me a favor, Tony, speak English. I thought this country spawned the fucking language, and so far nobody seems to speak it.

maybe,
Naw, he speaks some English, but he can't not speak it good like we do.

i couldn't not respond to the two posts from Any and Stodgy about the degredation of the english language . The most widely spoken language in the world? Possibly? Who knows. and Any posted a textbook example of what our education systems are churning out. now you can't blame education solely on this problem, because teachers, like firefighters and police officers are probably the most underpaid professionals in society today. it's a profession where dedication to your job is the only reason you keep it. i could pull some numbers out of my ass to prove that the profession is noble and struggling to stay alive, but i won't. becaus i don't need to. private school enrollment is on the rise because like Any and Stodgy and myself, they're sick of it. then there is the other side where youth go to school because it's a place to stash them for the day while mom whores herself out for a bag of crack. now i know i'm jumping to extremes, but i've seen Law and Order and i know it exists.

yes, in a society of text messaging and internet messaging and short attention spans and attention defeceit disorder, our language is suffering. but music is to blame as well. parents are to blame. society is to blame. it's unfortunate, but this is the way the world is headed and i don't think it's going to get better. it's just going to get worse. and it's easy to get drawn into that. i'm guilty of that. i was a literature major in college and i've succumb to the sweet, sweet taste of a new language. the language of eminem and xzibit and anything that crosses the airwaves via text and IM.

i don't have a solution for it. not for the world. my solution is just to make an effort to stay well spoken; stay educated. beat the corruption.

aaight?
