its funny that you consider derogatory slang language skills.
|
Colloquialisms and profanities are part of the language. Atleast I have a basic command of syntax and grammar.
|
i definately have a basic understanding of syntax and grammar. if i had anything less my sentences wouldnt be coherent. granted you may have a better understanding than i do but you said basic so basic is the rule... thanks for including me. my point wasnt that its not a part of the language just that use of excessive profanities makes people look like they dont have a good understanding of the language. to some people anyway. plus with language theres plenty of room for style. go tell a poet or writer that theyre not following the rules. go tell shakespear.
yes now im a poet.

I was unaware one could accumulate "street cred" from posting on an internet forum. Can I cut a rap album now?

Come on. Just use a spellcheck. Most will correct your grammar, too.

you watched that special on tv too?

Or maybe he's been to lower Manhattan and has seen the still heavy Irish influence. Maybe he's heard of the Westies or Tammany Hall.
You know the movie Gangs of new York? Its a fictional story based on the nonfiction book The Gangs of New York.
About 10 years ago, PBS ran a miniseries called The Irish in America that went into organized crime in NYC.
In his book, How the Irish Saved Civilization, Thomas Cahill brushes on it.
This is not a new subject that was only brought up because of an over dramatic Scorsese film.
