You got me! You ARE right!

Now I have to go in my corner and get over it!

**Monte314** · 04-02-2009, 04:35 AM

Ooh! There's that "get" as an intransitive verb again!

**Writermom** · 04-02-2009, 06:10 AM

Boys, let's give her a few minutes to recover before we chase her back into her corner.

Give me a break, I am from the Cajun culture! I am not bragging, I am saying that grammar sucks down here. I am trying to improve upon that so the corrections are welcome!
Odah wize I talk lie dis T-Boy!

I lived in Lafayette (short "a", of course) for two years...

**Writermom** · 04-02-2009, 08:24 AM

I lived in N'Awlins for almost two years. My parents are both from Mississippi, and I grew up in the mountains of North Carolina. So I can talk Southern with the best of them when I want, but I have beaten it out of my writing - and my INTJness won't let me use it when speaking except to make a point.

I've even managed to pass this need for grammatical exactitude to my children. They will often tell me 'so-and-so in my class uses bad grammar all the time. I told him it was wrong and he's still doing it!'

Tell me I haven't ruined their future social life.

**reb** · 04-02-2009, 08:24 AM

i never lived in Lafayette, but i'm laffin' yet.

soanyway, i am duly impressed....hunting, offshore fishing, cajun....since i will never get married again, i will not lie and ask you to marry me. 'twood be pointless, as i am totally untrainable, in any case.

with hooks, do you file or stone? crucial question, you see....you're favorite calibre for deer? (see, by god, i can do IT too! y'all go lie down...and don't lie about it, either. git thee to a nunnery, you 'getters'.)

I have done the same with my younger daughter. She corrected her teacher at primary school, which didn't make her very popular. She was right, of course. Other children ask her for advice now and lots of them get advice without asking. I'm so proud of her.

Noooooooo!

Ignoring the pain it caused me to read that, I do appreciate the excellent capture of the linguistic style of the dialect you mentioned.

Welcome to the forum, soanyway!

**soanyway** · 04-02-2009, 12:04 PM

I do need correcting on my grammar. Grammar is one of my grey area's. I have been working on it. My grammar has improved some but it doesn't come across all of the time especiallt in writing. Thanks for pointing it out!

LOL@LionsPride, how do you think I feel when I hear it! Not good!

**Trenchant1** · 04-02-2009, 04:34 PM

soanyway,
You should move to England. I will let you rent one of the rooms in my house and I will teach you to speak like an English lady, just like My Fair Lady, or Pygmalion, if you want to be clever. Lessons will be from 9am to 5pm with half an hour for lunch and quarter of an hour's break in the morning and afternoon. Fees - and this is a special rate, because you are a forum member - will be only £1000 per week. That's excluding rent, food, etc. I am prepared to include heating and other utility bills. Let me know when you would like to start.

The immediate problems are "area's" should be "areas," and "especially" is misspelled. Were I to rewrite it:

I changed "grey" to "gray," but that is primarily a regional thing. It's "gray" in North American English, as far as I'm aware, and "grey" in England. I'm uncertain about Australia.

I get it, your (Rudy) smart! I am dying inside...LMAO! I hope as an INTJ you get this, I think its funny because I thought it was right and you pointed it out so I had to make a smartass remark.

I think you mean "you're" and "it's".

(I hope you know this is all in good fun. I don't really mind if people make some mistakes, as long as they are making an effort to be correct.)

I lived eight years in New Iberia, LA and I can attest to the suckiness of speech in the area. I got rather tired of people "axing" me questions and eating "bald" shrimp. I miss Louisiana though, especially the food! Tennessee sucks...

I am from Iberia Parish and have lived in New Iberia. Youngsville these days. You do have the local lingo down. Now you know, I do need correction. I am trying to break DAT habit!

**reb** · 04-03-2009, 07:07 AM

'taint 'delight! delight!'

iz 'Boss, deplane! deplane!' (which is what many rapidly did on the Hudson in january)

ah been to Minden. ah gets it. i find vernacular charming and interesting, even though (possibly because) i was an undergrad English/Speech major. like Picasso, i know the rules, and now feel perfectly free to bust 'em to hell. we doan do English in Tejas....dey doz English in Englen....and dey still socialists....dat fancy pants language doan hep no common sense in polyticks. fact iz, we doan do rules lessen we gots to....

**soanyway** · 04-03-2009, 08:03 AM

I do believe Minden has the twang accent. I on the other hand am working on improving my serious Cajun accent. No twang involved. Actually, I was shocked to hear the more Northern(in Louisiana) people talk. I couldn't believe it! A twang in Louisiana!
