I received this a while back about Correct vs Incorrect English (hopefully- I've redone the racial and crude parts to acceptable reading- It was way cruder)

People who insist on speaking Correct English do not believe in the theory that languages change according to the societies that employ them.

Some don't believe the English language should change at all on principal and only speak Shakespearian Middle English with all the thee's and thou's and so forth.

The people who speak Correct English typically live in the U.K. since they were foolish enough to found their country on a piece of land named after the english language. This does not mean that all Brits speak Correct English. Here is an example of how some of these Brits speak:

"Damn tossers! Oi! Be careful wiv them crates! And wotcher starin' at yer damn ijit! Oh! Right! Yer say yor a journalist, eh? Well I'll show yer wot we do ter journalists..." - a non Correct English speaking Brit

So as you can see. Incorrect English is not only spoken by Americans, Canadians, Japanese, Africans, Autrailians... oh screw it! Let's just say that Brits can also speak Incorrect English. Okay? Good.

Correct English can be use for several purposes:

To look knowledgable without actually knowing anything
To be hated on the internet
To be hated in the south
To be hated anywhere
To get an A in Language Arts
To get beat up on the playground after school
To summon demons from the underworld to feed on the flesh of the living

Ignore that last one
So, as you can see. There are not many significant reasons for speaking Correct English. That is why Incorrect English is so popular.

Ebonics

"Yo yo yo Dawg! I'm a rapper which mean I'm a go out 'n make sum rap CD so dat honky teens luv me and try t'talks like me! Byatch!" - Moe Jones (Rapper)

Valley Girl

"Like, Oh my gawd! Like, Brad was all like 'I love you' and I was all like 'Gag me with a spoon!'. You know?! - Tiffany Morganson (some girl)

and a quote to end this dissertation

"Correct English? You mean we all have to stop bathing and make sure there's lots of rain? But I don't wanna be correct English!"

The deal with Neil was that he is reported to have said

"one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind"...(or something like that in the second clause) and when he got back to earth he was pummelled by english teachers who said the correct english would have been...
"one small step for "A man", one giant leap for mankind".

Well Armstrong said he'd thought he'd used the "A"...not like he just pulled what he was going to say out of his bottom...I suspect he'd had it figured out a while ago and maybe even checked. But it was certainly not evident on the tape.

Well lo and behold, with today's technology they can now analyze the recording and they do see on the tape where he did say "a man" but because of the transmission it was inaudible until we could use the more sensitive systems of today.

Can you tell I'm into trivia [img]smile.gif[/img] ...

I don't know. My husband got one of those Neil Armstrong Hallmark Christmas ornaments that had a recording of his moon landing speech. There was a huge deal about it. I don't remember how it turned out. Gosh, I guess I'm no help at all, am I?!?!?!
