- themaestro8, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7This is completely ironic since the Canadian news magazine "McLean's" had a report recently saying that fathers weren't even needed anymore and kids without father are better off. Yeah, I'm not buying it either.
- ozid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I always thought this. I talk a lot like my dad and not so much like my mom. My mother speaks in "Pittsburghese" and my dad never did really, so I didn't pick up much of it.
Although, 5 years after I moved from Pittsburgh, I'll be damned if someone tries to tell me a gum band doesn't exist. Or that they can't understand me when I say "jeet yet?" It's simple English, people!!! - scilec, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4My kids occasionally call me a "grammar nazi". In light of this, I don't feel quite so badly about it any more. :)
- Nothlit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3All I can say is if you're from Pittsburgh, your grammar probably needs redd-up.
- Berkana, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Excuse me Bobski. I'm a conservative. Sheesh.
As a conservative and as an American, I'm embarassed by George W. Bush. He appears to be profoundly retarded, not to mention evil, and a hypocrite. What ever happened to his isolationist view, opposing our involvement in Kosovo because there was no viable exit strategy? What happened to his opposition to big government intruding upon the freedoms of its citizens?
Take a look at this man:

I tell you, I am ashamed that conservatives voted this man into office. I dare you to watch the whole clip. - Bobski, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Than would be "neither your mother NOR your father..."
If you want to be a grammar nazi, at the very least get it right. - Goner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2My 2-year old let loose from the back seat with "Mother *****." clear as day -- annunciated exactly like my wife annunciates it.
We just turned to one another and didn't say a damned thing for a bit.
Finally I turned around and suggested that she might have meant "Mother Father", pointing to the two of us. She agreed and never said it the 'wrong' way again. :) - catbertz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I've got a five yr old daughter, and she's heard me let the F bomb slip on several occasions. I felt sick inside the first time she tried to repeat the word.
I gave her a brief talk about bad words. It sucks to be a hypocrite, but I'm watching my tongue, and hoping she forgets until she learns it from her friends ;) - cliffzdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I grew up in many different states, many people have an accent but don't hear it.
Peter Jennings accent was clear, yet many thought he spoke sans-accent. Once I lived up near the Candian border, it was so funny to hear them say "Oh-Nooowh, I don't have any acks-scent! Nohhh, not me. You must be creezy dere, eh! " - akcoder, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2The thing I find most interesting is feminist would have you believe that after the egg is fertilized. But study after study seems to confirm that children really do need their fathers...
- ZenMojo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I grew up without any discernible accent. That was weird as a kid.
On the other hand, I cursed like a sailor by age 11 and my dad never said curse words. - darwin22, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I agree... I speak more like my redneck ***** father than my well educated mother.
then again, I guess the Y chromosome could be the cause of "*****" in my family ;)
edit: My mother said to me at age 6: "Don't use the word 'bitch', use '*****' instead" - bigdc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Fuuuu-uuu-dddge!
- hadak, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2*shakes a fist at his ex financeé*
eat that you stupid bitch.
/scorepoint - Berkana, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Bobski,
Here's another one for you:

Now, having watched that, keep in mind. A father is supposed to have enormous influence the speech of his child. Do you remember how eloquent the elder George Bush was? - yahoofrom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's so true.
While I don't like how my father talk about the world so cynically, I myself talks cynically too. - akcoder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@darwin: Your right, I'm not a very eloquent speaker/writer. But then again, I am a product of the public school system...
- Bobski, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"jeet?"
"ungnow"
"slater" - Bobski, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1@ darwin
Still mommy's little baby are ya? Wait until you get out of your parent's basement and into the real world.
Daddy won't seem like such an ass anymore. - unibomber999, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Funny that 2 year olds get sick of women yammering endlessly and block them out too.
I finally have proof that it's her fault that I don't listen. - Methodius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is weird, because unlike me, my dad never had a tendency to wax verbose. Of course, now that I think about it, my tendency to mix ten-dollar words with sailor-esque lingo is a habit I developed much later in life. In fact, I recall an story my mom told me about this one time when I was two: my dad was griping about having to attend a family function (on my mom's side of the family) when he spake the word "dammit," which I then gleefully began to shout all the way to my grandparent's house. It was all they could do to shut me up.
- Tandaemonium, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0What're yinz talkin about? Everywahn dahntahn I see talks normal.
- Bobski, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1So what is the answer to those who are raising children who cannot themselves tell the difference between to, too and two?
- GenghisTom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Mothers are in charge of making sure family members survive (short term guardian), but fathers are in charge of making sure the family line survives (long term guardian).
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1"the whole generation of pussies being brought up by leftist cry-babies." - Bobski
It's 1970 in the USA again! - darwin22, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1akcoder:
^^ Apparently neither your mother or father taught you grammar or the value of a well balanced sentence. - scott1, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2Proof:
http://dumptruck.ytmnsfw.com/?a85c93e89e7f3c8335ceae2525956740 - Bobski, on 10/12/2007, -14/+5The bigger question is what to do about the whole generation of pussies being brought up by leftist cry-babies.
- scott1, on 10/12/2007, -12/+1deleted
- Berkana, on 10/12/2007, -26/+9How does that explain George W. Bush's foot-in-mouth disease? If any of you remember, his father was a much better orator than you'd expect based on his son's language development.
- Galestorm, on 10/12/2007, -20/+2Someone needed a study to tell them that ?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -23/+0Have you guys read this! This is insane! http://digg.com/tech_news/Google_Acquires_SpaceShipOne_2
