Good Morning, Priestlings! I have missed you overnight! I see there has been a smattering of further discussion regarding speech and you all know I cannot resist a comment or three!!! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The word aint is a much maligned word, my friends. For many years, it was considered a non-standard word most often used habitually by the "less educated".  However, it has certainly  gained tremendous popularity, in the American lexicon at least. It is most often used to gain emphasis in writing and in speech. I admit, sheepishly, that I have used the word on occassion. And, as it was pointed out previously, you can find it in the dictionary.

My problem with the word is that I feel it demonstrates laziness. Just because it is in the dictionary does not give it credibility as a form of proper communication. I liken it more to the use of profanity, although I would certainly prefer aint to an obscene word anytime! Breaking up perfectly good words into lazy, psuedo-contractions is an abomination to our great language,my friends.

You are all aware of my fondness for good grammar and manners. The "war" you witnessed between Guido and I yesterday was all in fun and I truly believe there are one or two of you that may have actually learned something from the exchange! If this is so, we have accomplished much more than simply entertaining you for a short time! We have given you cause to think about your speaking habits. We have made you think about grammar. We have helped to improve your lives, just a little. For surely, there is always room in our lives to improve our grammar and make ourselves a little bit better? HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My parents used that word so I figured I could use it & now I use it all the time--AIN'T -AIN'T AIN'T--but in my defense pretty much all of the English language gets butchered as soon as high school is over --oh if we would just take what we learned & keep it throughout our adulthood but we forget how to talk properly as soon as we graduate-just a piece of Americana

Just a random thought--with all the nouns & pronouns yesterday I am so glad that AIN'T is in the dictionary--- it's one of my signature words !!

Man--I missed all this yesterday ??--I thought the Judas Priest website/fan forum was for fans to get together & socialize & just talk with each other not threaten & call the members names--this IS the Judas Priest  website not the "who can I insult now " website
