Hi Freeze! how you? Well a warm day thrown in before winter set in is a nice bonus is it not? This has been one of our longest winters and it's getting a bit long for me. Usually I enjoy each season, no use complaining about it but this winter just didn't take it's que to leave and we're only really starting to warm up now. So it's weekends on the beach, days out in the sun and kids plastered in sunblock lol...
 

MG!! You have to send me more snow pics when you get your snow this year! The photo's you posted on the board last winter were stunning!

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edited at: Monday, October 27, 2008 9:40:07 AM
