Diving into evening work, hopefully with something to show for it for you folks soon.
Question before I go:
We all have grammatical gripes... but what's a grammatical "error" that you find pretty darned cute or satisfying, even if you wouldn't use it yourself?
I heard someone say "on accident" today, and to me it just sounded adorable. Maybe because it's nonstandard usage unwittingly used *by* accident around that same phrase?
What linguistic bastard child is *your* cutie-patootie of choice?
@MLClark I love non standard language in general to break small talk and get through to people, but aside from my dated colloquialisms a few southernisms are a part of my normal lingo.
The one I can never get away from is "fixin"
I'm fixin to do do this, or that, etc...
And of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't include "That toads the wet sprocket!"
