[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends OP. A lot of blue collar people have no books in their homes and don't speak properly/have poor grammar. It would drive me nuts if someone said "ain't" or something along those lines. If he reads and can speak well -- give him a chance. If he comes from a depraved background...tread cautiously.[/quote]

How do you know this? Please explain. [/quote]

I know this because I grew up in Ohio! There is a lot of mixing of blue collar folks and white collar folks.[/quote]

I live very very close to Ohio and have never heard someone honestly say “ain’t,” not as a joke. How many homes do you go in to check for books? You sound very weird and unusually judgmental. [/quote]

I'm very normal actually. My mother was an English teacher so it hurts my ears when someone says "ain't" or doesn't use proper verb tenses. And, I've been in a ton of homes ... I did canvassing as a college student all over Ohio. The thing about the DC area is there are few real "blue collar types" here in DC. One has to drive 30 more minutes each way into VA or MD to find a blue collar person.  [/quote]
