Engrish...

Recommended Posts

If you can't write a sentence that other people cannot understand, don't bother posting it.

Now, I don't claim to be an English major; but, isn't that a double-nagative?

:puzzled:

i don't believe that's a double negative, but there is definitely something wrong there, lol....

i can't not type like that without thinking...

^^ i know that's a double negative, and i think that in order for it to be one, the negatives have to be back to back like that. but i could be wrong, i slept through engrish alot..hehe

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :slayer:

If someone can't write a sentence that other people cannot understand, they're being perfectly understood :D

^^Agree. I'd say it's a double negative.

When I was about 13/14 I had to stay with my uncle- who's a farmer (raises cows, grows crops, drives a tractor, etc.).

With NO teeth.

Who doesn't like to wear his dentures

and he's over 70 with diabetes and high blood pressure (point is he slurs his speech really bad and doesn't speak up much).

He said to me 'boy, get yoself a knife from outin' the shed and cut-yoself some oaktree.' I made him repeat it several times before I just went and got a knife and followed him thinking 'he wants me to get a knife and cut an oak tree? Damn he's crazy- and I have to stay with him!'

I found out oaktree means oakra, so there was no paul bunyan stuff going on :D
