Growin' up in Maine, we have lots o stuff to break proper English with...Cah, Lobsta, etc etc. Now, living in Arizona, I have lost a bunch of my Maine accent and stuff, but listening to my Dad nowadays, I still smile as he "Still has it"

Let alone remember. Or is that just an age thing.  |
Actually, look at it as a blessing in disguise. One of the things keeping us from falling prey to the Nigerian Prince is he has a ways to go before he masters the English language. The scary part... artificial intelligence will make the Prince much better at it.

I think the grammar mistake I hear most of all is "I could care less". It doesn't make much sense when you think about it!
It should be "I couldn't care less"

Some day, I'm hoping to understand what "prolly" is. I'm thinking they're aiming for probably but too lazy to utilize the third syllable. I'm also guessing it's an age thing because they don't seem the least bit embarrassed about it. Oh, well.
