It just bugs me when people put the "s" at the end. "Anyways" is not a word people! Anyway, that is what I feel like whining about right now. Why is our generation becoming so much more illiterate? People don't know how to write, read, or speak properly anymore. forget spelling errors, but people actaully think that things like "anyways" are words, don't know how to write in coherent scentances, and can't pronouce words correctly...'tis a shame. :nopity:
Unless you're Italian (or from New York... but some accents from NY still get to me sometimes), it bugs me if people say Youse. Being raised between people who were from the Virginia through Georgia portion of the Appalachians... and my mama, who is from Bali, I say anyways.
^ how are you supposed to say Nevada? haha thats how i say it! ne-vah-da where i live (southwest pa), everyone says "yins" instead of you guys.. lol
Like the a in apple...Ne-vaa-da, haha I don't know, I'm probably the one saying it wrong. 'Yins', that's fun
the "s" is slang “Anyways” at the beginning of a sentence usually indicates that the speaker has resumed a narrative thread: “Anyways, I told Matilda that guy was a lazy bum before she ever married him.” It also occurs at the end of phrases and sentences, meaning “in any case“: “He wasn’t all that good-looking anyways.” A slightly less rustic quality can be imparted to these sentences by substituting the more formal anyway. Neither expression is a good idea in formal written English. The two-word phrase “any way” has many legitimate uses, however: “Is there any way to prevent the impending disaster?” an·y·ways (ĕn'ē-wāz') adv. Nonstandard. In any case.
The thing that bothers me that absolute most is when someone says "somewheres". Somewhere is already plural, dammit.
Yeah... youse knows whats really chaps my biscuits and gives me the red asses? Liberals Medias Bias + Coastals Erosions... O-M-G!!!
Funny story: My sister said "youse" wasn't a word (she was mad because everyone said it in New Jersey). I said "use" was a word, but she thought I meant "youse" and said it wasn't. So we bet 5 bucks and I won with "use", and it was funny because I was like 11 and I outwitted my grade A student, almost perfect score on the SAT's sister. I still laugh about it! Really? I lived in Philly for a while and visited south of Pittsburgh a lot and I never heard anyone talk about that...wierd! But it is funny haha Crummy: Exactly, slang, not proper english. It aint not a word! lol Well i guess proper engrish would be the way dem brits talk dat der over seas. well I don't rightfully know cause I'm just a simple folk. (my mom's sid eof the family actually talk like this! It drives me crazy!)
That's a good excuse for becoming a serial killer... kill anyone who adds the "s". Anyways... I gotta go to work.
I used to say anyways, but I dated a guy who got annoyed by it... so i would write it anywayS in notes to him (long distance relationship... lots of notes). I dont care what people say. If they grew up learning to say something one way, well thats part of their culture and I'm not going to take it away from them. Though it does make me laugh when people say Boise as "Boy Z" when its "Boy C" but whatever. I dont like this town enough to correct everyone that moves here.
I still say BoyZ because... well, BoyC just doesn't really sound right to me if I unintentionally talk fast or my drawl/accent is heavy.
The first letter in a new sentence should be capitalized. And for ease of reading, you do not need the comma's I've highlighted. Not that I personally give a shit, but if you're going to bitch about spelling and grammar then yours had better be fucking impeccable.
