$#%^ You, Jared Sullinger

How about "he's in Boston" or "we're here." Doesn't add extra syllables or take much effort. All it shows is someone is actually educated.
Yes, I don't know why I typed "State." Embarassing faux part on my part. I s'pect I be hit with neg reps.

Was this internet interview or radio?
 
The premise of this thread and most of the thoughts expressed in it are really embarrassing.
 
An accent is pronouncing Boston as "Bah-stun." This is incorrect grammar called "Ebonics" by some.

Never said it was an accent, I said to think of it like one. English has changed dramatically over time and it's dynamism is largely due to people speaking incorrectly. Quit being a snob.

I don't think it's being a snob to expect conjugation of verbs. English does change. Words come and go. But, IINM, there hasn't been a time when conjugation has been completely ignored - except in the case of Ebonics. Sorry, I do not accept Ebonics. To me, it's just an excuse for saying people were to busy being thugs and "hoppers" to concentrate on English. Actually, it's not even that; my daughter is in 2nd grade and she knows how to conjugate, or at least does it without even thinking. In this case, it's a conscious effort on the part of many in the african-american community to set themselves apart from the rest of society. Sorry, but in my experience hiring people, I would definitely NOT select someone who came in and said, "I be happy to work for your company." On the other hand, I once did hire someone for whom English was a 2nd language and we worked through a lot of communication problems.

You don't have to think it for it to be so.
 
Also, if you believe fisher was entirely up front and honest when he left here and there was no scheming done by him whatsoever, you crazy.

Pretty sure he's pulled similar BS twice since then.
 
Getting a kick out of the irony of someone using an alt to troll the hell out of the alt of the twitter poster about how bad this trolling is.
 
I also want to admit that I'm rooting for injury to every GST outside Bogut. It's not like I'm wishing death or anything, but Iggy's new $48,000,000 bank line can console him after he breaks his knees. I'll let the rest of you go pc parroting the obligatory announcer injury line. I'm not an announcer, I want them to all go down for the season.
 
You resent being called an alt but not being called Beanclown? Priorities..

I'd point you guys to my actual twitter, but I'd like to remain anonymous. That was strictly coincidence. I've had enough arguments with beantown about his obnoxious and obsessive religious beliefs and it should be obvious I'm not him. ****, look in his recent David thread.
