As is, "I done" (as in, "I done that last Friday"), "I ain't," and a whole bunch of other annoyances. I know many otherwise-intelligent people who speak like this and think it's perfectly okay. And as you can imagine, my Facebook feed is also full of it. :/Rita Templetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10332325707063104082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-11695153818392453742014-04-17T10:19:20.683-06:002014-04-17T10:19:20.683-06:00I can't stand it either.
