November 4, 200718 yr Ain't will be proper when prolly is proper. For those reading that sentence and not understanding, get a dictionary.
November 4, 200718 yr I guilty for using the word/nonword ain't, kinda reminds me of a skit from The 3 Stooges: Larry: Ain't that Quaint. Moe: Ain't?? Don't you mean "isn't?" Larry: Yeah, Isn't it Quisnt." Hilarious! :laugh:
November 4, 200718 yr Ain't will be proper when prolly is proper. For those reading that sentence and not understanding, get a dictionary. My Dad would have loved you - God rest his soul.
November 4, 200718 yr It is also commonly used as a dialectical contraction of is not, are not, has not, and have not. But "ain't" is still considered sub-standard English. Yes BF I agree and I too think this is correct. Period.
November 4, 200718 yr All I know is that my aunt (a retired English teacher) would wash my mouth out for using 'ain't' as quickly as if I used an expletive..that's all I need to know!!
November 4, 200718 yr I still "ain't" figured out why some people have a problem with it, that just ain't right!! :sssh: :lol:
November 5, 200718 yr The preposition thing, I understand it, but everyone around here pays no attention to it. Example: Who are you going with? What did you do that for?
November 5, 200718 yr Ain't will be proper when prolly is proper. For those reading that sentence and not understanding, get a dictionary. Im guilty of using prolly way to much. As far as looking it up in a dictionary, might be best not to look up prolly in the urban dictionary just give you a heads up.
November 5, 200718 yr Also, why can't you end a sentence in a preposition? Because a preposition is just something you can't end a sentence with. See, that made no sense at all.
November 5, 200718 yr Where are they at? Why even put the "at" in the sentence, your just repeating yourself... Where are they? That works just fine and sounds a lot better...Thats why you ain't supposed to put a preposition at the end of a sentence, but sometime you have to in order to make the sentence make sense.
