What I used to keep on the mud room fridge:
When I was 15 - dad did not understand me or my friends.
Now that I’m 25 - you wouldn’t believe what that old man has learned in just 10 years

Whatch You talkin about, Willis? This is at least the third time here on BITOG, that I have seen threads on the subject of grammar and spelling. Nothing new here. And in all fairness, it's all in good fun. There are only a few here that get belligerent about it, and try to embarrass their fellow members here.
When I was in 9th grade, I took a Power Mechanics class. We worked on lawn mowers and other small mechanical devices. The shop teacher was a very nice man from LA - Lower Alabama. Whenever we would finish wrenching on something, he would say - "Let's see will it work".
That class was the spark that started my mechanical knowledge and eventual career. I've worked on everything from lawn mowers to 767s.
To this day, when I'm ready to test something - whether it's replacing a light bulb or starting an engine for the first time, I'll often say, 'Lets see will it work' to whoever is there - 100% in honor and respect of Mr. Varner.

I still love all the folks here who use "Mobil 1" oil.
I always wonder if they bought it in south Alabama, LOL.

The word 'LIKE' has become the most commonly used spoken word in America. It is also the most annoying.

Dude, I was like … and he was like … and …
Where it’s really annoying is you just hired a top tier graduate - and they have not lost college speak yet

I still don't understand how some are able write "would of / could of" and don't think twice about it.
I had frozen ice in my hose this AM (context/content is true)
I still vividly remember the chilly morning at the bus stop the Monday after the weekend that the movie, "Valley Girl" came out. All the girls had seen it and our junior high discourse was forever altered. Every single girl in my school overnight had adopted a new annoying vernacular; a new dialect almost. "Like, whatever... Gag me with a spoon."
It was as if they had all instantly lost 10 IQ points while simultaneously gaining a completely unwarranted superiority complex. Vestiges of that lingo persist today. Like, totally.
Awesome
Totally! Fur sure

I just drank some fully melted ice
My wife was working at an oil company and read a field report of a Louisiana safety incident. The writer describes a person who "unclimbed the ladder and tied loose the boat". I assume that writer was a manager...If some of you folks spent some time in South Louisiana , you would absolutely lose your minds .
Was he "unalived" when he "unclimbed" the ladder?
ur doing too much
