That said, I'd bet a Rivendale coin purse that Grant  Crue don't
really care either way as long as the person[s] mispronouncing the
word have an inclination to look into their products.

Saying a word incorrectly, is still saying the word in the end... for
example- better, in my mind, than saying McDonald's, High Fructose
Corn Syrup or Bike NashBar correctly.

Really, it could be worse. I drive a Delorean and you wouldn't believe
how many people ask if it came with a gram of coke in the glove box,
or if I have a flux capacitor, or try to tell me it has a Ford engine,
or if they all came painted silver. On the other hand, people
constantly want to photograph it, sit in it, see how the doors work,
etc. So, like with riding a Rivendell, there are perks, too, to owning

 It's like all those people who say axe for ask or nook-you-lur
 for nuclear or motorsickle for motorcycle. I don't get it, but
 ours is not to understand ignorance, only to help ameliorate it.

Just out of curiosity; what's the difference between the Dynamic and
the Techno Deluxe? I was looking at some pics of the Dynamic online
and it looks the same to me.

 I personally think that ain't fills a huge gap in our language and ought
 to be encouraged; as, too, y'all. Seriously.

What are the gaps that they fill?  I can see the utility of ya'll,
though the apostrophe is a PITA, but ain't doesn't seem to fill a
need that I can tell.

2010-06-17 Thread PATRICK MOORE
Instead of the awkward and grammatically inaccurate aren't I, you say
ain't I -- Ain't I smart?

Note that the singular of y'all is yew, as in Ha yew? Seriously, I think
a locution such as y'all he'p me now is old English of a certain class and
possibly region. A co worker from Balimer (Merlund) and her Virginia
boyfriend found, in London, that the Brits could easily understand him but
not her.

OK, Jim, no more.
