Yep, the "youse guys" is a Philly/NYC thing, I believe. But "I's"? That one is brand new to me.What about "Yous guys".

yep that old double negative... people say it here all the time...And the, "I ain't done nothin' wrong." Meaning," I'm innocent," yet just admitted to having DONE something WRONG.
that's something only Americans say... all other English speaking countries, say ''couldn't care less''.....This is a long thread. . . . Someone probably already posted this, but "I could care less" bothers me a lot. Grrr.
“My Child Is An Honor Roll Student” bumper stickers irritate me.
I can't speak for all English-speaking nations, but in one very isolated example -- me -- your broad-brush statement is absolutely wrong.that's something only Americans say... all other English speaking countries, say ''couldn't care less''.....
ok tell me what other English speaking country says ''could care less'' instead of couldn't care less ?I can't speak for all English-speaking nations, but in one very isolated example -- me -- your broad-brush statement is absolutely wrong.
are you mentaly..ill?.I have absolutely no loathing of Americans..in fact the very opposite , why would I have been here for 11 years... the vast majority of my friends are Americans..the problem with you is your inability to read the English word.... I didn't say ALL Americans..I said Americans are the only ones who get that the wrong way around... not ALL Americans..but in your little temper tantrum and your anxiousness to attack me like a litttle angry terrier...... you immediately lost the ability to read..Stop while you're losing. You're sounding like a lonely-heart member of the "see me!" club. Tired of it, frankly.
Come back when you can be civil and respectful. Painting your loathing of Americans with such a broad brush is not only wrong, it's stupid.
yes I agree, and you'll notice it's always when they're writing..I don't think I've ever heard anyone mix the 2 up when their speaking...What is it with people who don't know the difference between LOSE and LOOSE ? Then of course the double negatives, makes life interesting.
I thought if loose was misspelled why not luce.What is it with people who don't know the difference between LOSE and LOOSE ? Then of course the double negatives, makes life interesting.
You know I never noticed that but you are correct it is only when they are writing.yes I agree, and you'll notice it's always when they're writing..I don't think I've ever heard anyone mix the 2 up when their speaking...
Because they can and do.ok tell me what other English speaking country says ''could care less'' instead of couldn't care less ?
So true Elsie: And what about "Thoughts and Prayers are with you". That too sounds so insincere.To show one has sympathy: "You are in my thoughts." Ah, and that's gonna help me how?![]()
Never heard that in reference to a deceased female.Bubbly...I've come to hate that word...
Whenever any female is killed , whether by accident or design, the people who knew them describe them as being ''Bubbly''... never fails, every single time..
Beats the truth sometimes.To show one has sympathy: "You are in my thoughts." Ah, and that's gonna help me how?![]()
I don't know why, but I hate hearing "Yes Ma'am, or no Ma'am." It usually sounds dismissal of my view, ("O K, if you say so, Ma'am.")Oh I think it's sweet... I wish we said that here...
I don't mind that at all, I think that's sweet, but then I've never had it used in that context to me.. maybe if I had I wouldn't think it was so nice...I don't know why, but I hate hearing "Yes Ma'am, or no Ma'am." It usually sounds dismissal of my view, ("O K, if you say so, Ma'am.")![]()

I think what they really want to say is, "I couldn't care less".Was it George Carlin that did the bit about "I could care less" means you care at least a little? I have a feeling it was someone else, but I just can't remember. Anybody?
