"Oops, my bad."
"Your bad?? What are you talking about?! There's no subject! Your toe, your IQ?"
"Hey, don't make me feel bad about the way I talk!"
"You feel bad? Like evil? I think you mean feel badly."
Hahaha. That is just an example of this hilarious video I just discovered. I encourage everybody to watch it!
I have to say, it's making me think. Is the proper English language going extinct? I've long thought about the "like" phenomenon, which I myself am a victim of, as well as so many expressions that we say that simply do not make sense - are these signs that we're losing the concept of the well-spoken and well-written word?
I'm glad Sabrina showed me this video. Ugh, our collective ignorance of basic literacy saddens me--but even moreso when I receive an email from another teacher or professional that I can barely decipher due to offensive grammatical errors. At least we have satire to laugh it off--do you, like, know what I mean?
ReplyDeleteI, like, think so?
