[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regional, but also English grammar is weird. [/quote]

How is it weird? You were either taught proper English, or not.  This should have been taught starting in the 1st grade. Even if you hear it at home or "in the streets" what you're learning in school trumps all of that.  [/quote]

What is proper English? The English would argue it’s the King’s English which isn’t taught anywhere in the US.[/quote]

I just said what it was - it's what's taught to you starting in the 1st grade. Pay attention. [/quote]

No offense, but your knowledge of English is very shallow. You should really learn more about it, it's fascinating! It's one of my big interests, actually. I could suggest some books, but here are some wikipedia articles to get you started (and the information there is cited so you can look at where they are getting their information if you want to go more in-depth with it).
