Do you SPEAK in proper grammar? Options

[sprezzatura]

Well, I think grammar mistakes in speaking are inevitable.
I fall victim of saying words like "You was" or "He don't" all the time because I tend to mix up singular and plural when I am talking. Especially in an unprepared speech when I am nervous, my grammar is really screwed up.

At least I will try to speak in proper grammar during formal interviews, etc.

How about you, do you speak in proper grammar?

[*sofakinglazy*]

Fashizzle.

[Stefanny]

Haha, I always talk with propper grammar.
I think it just sounds weird when people are all trying to talk in slang.

[Retrogressive]

Good God, no. I make up verbs all the time.

[multifaceted]

Wasn't there a topic like this already?

I try to talk in proper grammar. But, alas, the grammar part of my brain is quite lazy.

[sprezzatura]

^I think the other topic you are talking about is the TYPING in proper grammar topic.

[Gigi]

Yeah, all the time. Just today, my counsellor praised my good grammar (she asked me "How are you?" and I replied with "I'm doing well", whereas most people would say "I'm doing good"). I have a serious pet peeve with well/good.

[*Monochrome.*]

I always talk with proper grammar, I was never really into slang much.

I speak proper grammar..but because I do..im constantly asked.."Why do I act white?" or "Do I hang around alot of white people?"

Im black by the way..

It is soo annoying when I get asked that..

Its a little offensive.

I speak with proper grammar about 90% of the time. It's during the times that I'm talking really fast (which isn't often) that I might screw up.

[Smoogrish]

Yes. And I have a bad habit of correcting everyone around me when they don't.

ME TOO. Sometimes I get so irked that I end up correcting someone if they use good when they're supposed to use well. I mean, I know that I slip up sometimes, but I really think it's.. rare. Maybe 95 percent of the time I speak well?

Thats really annoying. The whole do you act white thing. Lame. Anyways, fortunately for me, I go to a predominantly white all girls private boarding school. Yeah, I know. Anyways, I always speak in proper grammar. Everyone at my school does. However, funnily enough, I always have, ever since I was young. Maybe its due to the fact that I've always attentended Proper British Schools where grammar and proper english is prime.

[judylicious]

I dont know. I think it's probably half and half. I dont try to speak in proper grammar but it kind of just happens. I do use slang all the time tho. But if i hear someone speaking and they say I seen this person he they was im like ohh hmm, that sounds weird. If I get nervous im not really paying attention to anything i say. I guess it doesnt really matter as long as the other person gets your point, unless it is something professional like an interview or something like that.

[krnxswat]

Yes.

[Jeng]

Yahmost of the time, I only use improper grammar when I'm just talking to friends maybe.

[femmefatale4160]

naw dawg. i be keepin It reel.

I usually try to speak properly, but I'll use the occasional "not-workingness" or "I were."

[*Intercourse.*]

I usually speak proper grammar, I usually find it a bit annoying when people can't

[think!IMAGINARIL...]

I always try to speak properly. It's a real habit of mine. My big sis was a grammar whore and hit me whenever I said something weirdly.

[HakunaMatata]

FOR SERIOUSLY. I've corrected an English teacher on it before, and the class stared at me as if I was the incorrect one. I have my little made-up words, so it's not like I have flawless grammar, but I am constantly correcting incorrect sentences. "Where you at?" ZOMFG, that's a terrible one.

[mylittleMiracle]

Usually yes,not whenever you speak in proper grammer or not,they still understand what you're saying.So,whatever.

Lol its ok.

When I type, I type a little bit too fast so I dont notice mistakes.

Thanks.

[*mona lisa*]

I usually do but I once in a while, I slip up, e.g. using the word "like"... :x

It really annoys me when I hear someone talking on the phone in and his/her grammar is horrendous. Those gangsta-wannabes, man.
