Have I been secretly shunted to another planet? I just read 4 questions here that made absolutely NO sense at all! Where'd y`all learn to use English?

Beowulf was written in English. I challenge you to read or pronounce the untransated version. Im not seeking conflict, just pointing out that things change over time.

[Sixgunsound]

D'jeet yet? You'se guys wanna get some chowdah at the wahf?

[FunkyMonkee]

I understood that.

[Sixgunsound]

Ok. my students recently introduced me to Gritty and Getting Steady.

Kids these days will never invent anything like spongeworthy🤣

[FunkyMonkee]

Is that a new metal band?

[FunkyMonkee]

Never heard of spongeworthy. Is that what they call Squarebob Spongepants' underwear?

[Sixgunsound]

Its a seinfeld reference.

[Sixgunsound]

Basically Elaine's favorite method of birth control goes off the market and so she starts rating potential boyfriends in terms of whether they deserve to use up her dwindling supply of birth control. I. e. " he's spongeworthy"

[FunkyMonkee]

I see. I've never seen more than a few clips of Sienfeld.

That's because we're old and had a real education in school. Unlike today's youth got taught bullshit

[FunkyMonkee]

I know! It's insane, what passes for English, these days! The shit I'm referring to in the question was just randomly placed words and most of them either weren't actual words or were very badly spelled!! How do these people communicate speaking like that? Their parents must've been talking wrong to them from day 1 just to fuck with their heads!! Instead of saying, "I have to go to the bathroom." they'd say shit like, "I have to dog face to the banana patch.".

I know its some crazy blastahit mushy nutso

My family talked in English so i coudn't understand now u could say i'm half English cuz i grew up with it i like English more then dutch lol

[FunkyMonkee]

When did I say that?

[Bubblee]

Its basicly saying i learned it at home without help

[FunkyMonkee]

Again, I never said that or even pinpointed you, specifically.

[EmmaMary]

Virtually every day for years now, I've asked myself this very same question.

[FunkyMonkee]

If someone's from another country, okay but, these are English speaking people born and raised here!!

[EmmaMary]
