Good Morning, Priestlings! I have missed you overnight! I see there has been a smattering of further discussion regarding speech and you all know I cannot resist a comment or three!!! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The word aint is a much maligned word, my friends. For many years, it was considered a non-standard word most often used habitually by the "less educated". However, it has certainly gained tremendous popularity, in the American lexicon at least. It is most often used to gain emphasis in writing and in speech. I admit, sheepishly, that I have used the word on occassion. And, as it was pointed out previously, you can find it in the dictionary.

My problem with the word is that I feel it demonstrates laziness. Just because it is in the dictionary does not give it credibility as a form of proper communication. I liken it more to the use of profanity, although I would certainly prefer aint to an obscene word anytime! Breaking up perfectly good words into lazy, psuedo-contractions is an abomination to our great language,my friends.

You are all aware of my fondness for good grammar and manners. The "war" you witnessed between Guido and I yesterday was all in fun and I truly believe there are one or two of you that may have actually learned something from the exchange! If this is so, we have accomplished much more than simply entertaining you for a short time! We have given you cause to think about your speaking habits. We have made you think about grammar. We have helped to improve your lives, just a little. For surely, there is always room in our lives to improve our grammar and make ourselves a little bit better? HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mmmmmm] Monday, October 27, 2008 4:46:56 AM

My parents used that word so I figured I could use it & now I use it all the time--AIN'T -AIN'T AIN'T--but in my defense pretty much all of the English language gets butchered as soon as high school is over --oh if we would just take what we learned & keep it throughout our adulthood but we forget how to talk properly as soon as we graduate-just a piece of Americana

Wow, talk about delusional. Sure sure and the "Board" is a personal pronoun too, LOL!!

Ok, kids...word of the day "euphemism." A euphemism is a substitution of an agreeable or less mean word or offensive expression in place of one that may offend or suggest something unpleasant to the listener,or in the case of doublespeak, to make it less troublesome for the speaker. Freeze claimed to have suffered "a momentary lapse, followed by a small misspeak." You and I know this by another phrase: "senior moment!"

Probably why he thinks he can still speak with Bob Denver too! BWWWAHAAAAAAHHAHHAHAAAAA!

[Vaillant 3.0] Sunday, October 26, 2008 1:57:15 PM

Personally, I lean toward "a historical" as I do pronounce the "h" (as in hummingbird). The "h" is just begging for an "a" in font of it.

[Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by Deep Freeze from Sunday, October 26, 2008 1:45:13 PM)

[ron h] Sunday, October 26, 2008 1:55:53 PM

I think it would have to be "a historical", as in "...a historical event...".
[Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by Vaillant 3.0 from Sunday, October 26, 2008 1:29:01 PM)

[Deep Freeze] Sunday, October 26, 2008 1:45:13 PM

Well now Val, I am glad you asked!
Using "an" before historical has befuddled grammarians for centuries. The letter "h" is a glottal fricative, meaning it is pronounced by closing the glottis briefly. The "velar stop" is used in letters like "k". If you do not completely stop airflow when pronouncing, you get a velar fricative "ch", as used in the Scotish "loch". It is from this sound that we developed the "h" sound.

I mention all of this because it is a little known fact that, whether a word begins with a vowel or not does not firmly require the use of "an". In English grammar, the pronounciation is also part of the rule. Take, for example, the word "the". Depending on the article, we can pronounce it "thuh" or "thee".

It is important that speakers and writers understand the cadence or rhythm of a sentence is the key to proper speech.

He used to come in to where I worked at the time with a floppy hat and sunglasses on. I would always say hello to him in a decreat voice, and he tipped very well, because he always got his food to go there. When I worked at the country club he did come in to eat there with several self importants and he was really very sweet and kind.
