I must say that I do agree with most of C9's post, however.... If you are going to "school" people on the proper use of the English language, let's not "school" them incorrectly. The word "school" can actually ***ume it's place in the world as two types of verbs as evidenced by Miriam-Webster.com. 1. Main Entry: 2school Function: transitive verb 1 a : to teach or drill in a specific knowledge or skill <well schooled in languages> b : to discipline or habituate to something <school oneself in patience> 2 : to educate in an ins***ution of learning 2. Main Entry: 4school Function: intransitive verb : to swim or feed in a school <bluefish are schooling> As I said, C9's post is mostly spot-on. LOVE YOU C9
Why does it take a totally separate post to make your statement. This subject is already being discussed. Ain't ya got no-scooling boy ?
and here I sit wondering if I should post some photos of some cool bikes I saw yesterday at a local indoor show cuz it's kinda OT.
In both cases it primarily defines "To school" as meaning "To teach" "or drill" It's also using it on the "To school" infinitive form, or in most cases, the modified schooled or schooling. "Teach me" better defines what the people saying "School me" are actually requesting, so I think they are just being smarty-***es, using the "cute" "School me...". Why don't I hear anyone requesting "Drill me..." ?
cuz it makes you sound like you need to get laid. CTFuzz, I'll post tonight after work. I need to resize them.
It is so one of them there verb words! Down here in 10-uh-c, we liken that there schoolin to larnin, as in "My Pa larned us youngins how to chop cotton and steal chikins."
I think "school me" means: "I'm too ****ing lazy to work hard to find out for myself how to do it". ...and people wonder why they have piles of part in their garage instead of running/driving hot rods... Sam.
All I know is that my first year, high school english teacher, Mrs. Graves, was mean as a rattlesnake with a toothache. I've never been comfortable with english since. Salamet po, Maganda babaihi. pigpen
The new generation learns their version of the language from MTV and Rap. Here are some examples of how the older generation learned to read and write. Grab Your Pants Hold Onto Your Load You're About To Take A Ride Down Thunder Road Burma Shave He Saw The Train He Tried To Duck It Kicked First The Gas And Then The Bucket Burma Shave *****le, *****le One Eyed Car Now I Wonder Where You Are Burma Shave Then there was the gas station restroom poetry. Here I sit all broken hearted. Came to **** but only farted! Then one day I took a chance. Tried to fart and **** my pants! Sadly, these great poets had more influence than our english teachers.
It really grates on me when HAMBers cant spell calendar correctly. Even worse is peek, peak and pique.
