well that's a get out ain't it ?

[dot.hawkes]

noones going to have to use the apostrophe now, will they now redesign keyboards???

well I don't agree and it will make things a right mess up, why should we dumb down for those that have no decent education????

[Gormless]

No, it's you "saw" a sign, not you "seen" a sign.

You may well be Scottish, and I am sorry about that, but please communicate in the accepted language, which is English.

[TCL-MUMPING]

No, I definitely seen it!

[terambulan]

the whole point of english is to confuse those who don't know the language.....let's keep it that way or it's back to cockney!

It's the blue collars keeping the 'manuals' in their place....don't fall for it!

[Harry-Wragg]

Gormless - I bet you think the words 'saw' and 'door' rhyme - go on now - say them - english?

[TCL-MUMPING]

Have a look here http://www.scots-online.org/grammar/verbs.htm

[TCL-MUMPING]

I say "am I not" or "amn't I" and yet you Gormless would insist it should be "aren't I" so explain that then!

[Gormless]

I don't need to look at online Scotch stuff, it's simple, in English we say "I saw" not "I seen" and we say "my" not "ma". Hadrian's Wall is crumbling, more is the pity. The railways got it right, they got to Glasgow and then did a runner.

[Harry-Wragg]

TCL-MUMPING - I've never been able to convince my English friends that 'me' is accusative and not possessive - I think I'm wasting me time.

[Gormless]

Are you Scottish Harry?

[Harry-Wragg]

Aye

[Gormless]

Well these things happen. You seem to have integrated quite well.

[Harry-Wragg]

nuthin tae dae wi me - it wis me ma an me da that done it.

[TCL-MUMPING]

That'll be the wall that the English could not manage to build will it?
