Grammatical ******* that insist on starting every sentence with the word 'So'. It's up there with those idiots that finish every sentance with 'yeah?'. Cue smart arses who will now post replies using so and yeah. It just ain't funny.

I've just had a tooth extracted, and I've got the arse!!!

Grammar is just a social construct. Sentences only exist in the written code, people don't speak in sentences. As long as you can be understood, that's all that matters. So, yeah.

I believe the correct form to be "is not".
Earlier today I heard a woman shouting into her phone and her sentence construction was such that although English sounded to be her only language it was heavily influenced by "yankee speak" and had the noun verb in an odd, continental/latin order; for example, bus stop shall I meet you?

The one that bothers me the most is when people say "like like and then she was like and then like like like" How many times do you want to say like??!:angry:

Was talking about this with a fellow examiner at the Cambridge Speaking test orals earlier today for the British Council.We both agreed that we didn't penalise candidates for "yankee speak." (Though I certainly wouldn't accept your eg sentence as correct English.
 
Hubby was picking up friends of ours from a party at Room 24 on the seafront last night, they'd been to their niece/cousin's 18th birthday so there were lots of family members there. Anyway, our friends's two sons (21 and 24) were set upon in the toilets by a group of 10 of the birthday girl's "friends". As Kev just pulled up, they bundled into the cab while a group were still trying to get at them. The cab has a couple of scratches and dents as a result, and my friend's youngest has a huge egg on his forehead plus a cut mouth - the bouncers on the door did absolutely nothing.
 
Is there CCTV outside the club, if so then the police should be informed. This is one of the reasons why I hardly work a Friday or Saturday night anymore. I have had punches and kicks aimed at me, spat at, sworn at. My car has been kicked dented, pucked in urinated in then add the runners and all I’m trying to do is get people home safely.

I said all this, they're going to talk to the people that booked it (my friend's sister and her husband) and ask them to talk to the venue. Their son has already been identified by one of the hoodlums on social media and threatened with being knifed if they go to the police. Society is charming these days, why do people have to be so vile?

Got to go an talk to them about the taxi, her dad is a retired bodywork specialist and still has loads of his old stuff. Will have a chat, I do agree - but I do wonder if there is something more to the story than is being let on.
