Grammy was the first to welcome me here at Chaz. Every time I see one of the older threads bumped, and I see her name, it's like time has stood still and she's still here with us. I think it's her way of staying in our hearts and minds.

Advise in place of advice.

"LITERALLY." It drives me insane when people misuse the word "literally."

Hey ... That's a southern way of talkin', I say "ain't got none" alot :/

I hate the word "way" (which in Spanish means "dude" or "man") some guys use it FAR too much in Convo :/ also the slang dialect of Spanish really makes my skin crawl.

Oh, you mean like when someone says, "I literally D-I-E DIED" . . . and they're still talking?

Does it literally -- or metaphorically -- drive you insane?

MY pet peeve is ppl telling ppl from the SOUTH that our "way" of grammer is ****ed up ... LMBO. :P

Eh. I'm from the South and I hate people that talk like we go to school in a one-room school-house. You know, the one by the cotton field? Living in the south isn't an excuse to talk like you're uneducated. It gives the rest of the people a bad rep. I don't know of many Northern phrases that make the people using them sound like a 4th grade drop-out.

My area should not be famous for a phrase like "Git r dun".

Ugh I HATE git-r-done, I was referring more to like slang phrases like "ain't", ya'll, & the general accent ... I don't have an accent in fact ppl always think I'm from California lol
