I recently came across 40 Questions to Ask a Christian.
So I use the word "wanna" a lot, but only in relaxed settings such as forum posts and story dialog (I'd never write it in a professional business paper or anything.) I've always thought of it as slang, but I grew suspicious of spell-check never highlighting it. With that said, I looked it up on dictionary.com and... well, just read it for yourself, hilarious depravity shall ensue, some lexicographer needs to get laid.
Also, I don't care how uneducated sounding "ain't" supposedly is, that word is so common it might as well be considered a real word by now! WHY AIN'T "AIN'T" A REAL, CANONICAL WORD YET?! It's time to step down from our snobby, "highly educated" pedestal and just accept that "ain't" IS a word and it ain't going away any time soon! My spell-check software doesn't go all grammar nazi on it (no, I'm not capitalizing nazi no matter how many squiggly red lines spell check draws under it) so I'm not complaining too much about it lol.
I went to the record store the other day, and they have empty double-jewel cases (like what you'd use for FFVII or other multi-disc media) with letters on them to denote where you're at in the alphabet, ie AAA, BBB, CCC, etc. I brought the "kkk" one up and told the cashier to shove it up his ass lol. (Also, spell-check insists I capitalize those 3 letters too, how kosher! :|)
Been helping a friend through some personal struggles. I might be out of town for a couple weeks next month.
