Miles's sonnets rival Mayorga's.

Piye, go fuck yourself!
It is poor language use end of. If you think low level lyricists define our language environment then you you are clearly as inbred as Haye.
What kind of school teaches this? What kind of dummy chooses illiterate lyricists over the Collin's Cobuild book of grammar?
Get out of here with your street gutter talk and learn to appreciate well spoken English.

And thank you for the words of support those that have done so. I also appreciate being called a poet on the level of Mayorga. That is nice.

David Haye and some hip hop types are not going to bastardise this language any further. The rot stops right here. Me and BBB are custodians of this language and we are not going to stand for it any longer.
In fact I am writing a letter to David Cameron about this.

Miles, you're already the Forum Gay of the Year for 2011. It's in the bag. There's no need to behave with the sheer knobbishness that you have on this thread
In all seriousness Miles, I talk almost exactly like Haye, yet I'd consider myself to be at least your equal with regard to intelligence & knowledge. I know you probably don't, but I'd like to think you acknowledge I'm not some slack-jawed buffoon. The point being that assessing how intelligent someone might be is simply flawed, wherever you are in the world, people will pick up the idiosyncracies of the language of their local society and will use it in their own speech.
One more thing Miles, you're a white man calling a mixed-race man inbred? Not showcasing your superb intellect there are we![]()

Miles, even though you are saying this shit half-hearted, you're such a ridiculous pretentious snob. Everyone you admire/idolise comes from a privilged background. Hitchens, Fry and Wilde were all born to wealthy educated parents.
Haye comes from a South London council estate. He was "educated" in the same school as me. Rich kids weren't the norm. To label a man, that has made a great success of his life, an inbred simpleton is utterly shooking. Fact.

What a piece of shit you turned out to be.
I'm a lecturer of Media Studies and Miles is a teacher of English and a massive cunt, it's not some major accomplishment to work as a teacher or a lecturer. Only a cunt would sit on a forum insulting guys that make a lot more money than you have or ever will do and both David Haye and these uneducated lyricists you refer to make a lot more money than you cunt.

This is a great thread. Awesome entertainment value from reading it.

You called me a cunt three times so fuck you once again. I only ever get nasty in response to someone dishing the insults first.
It is about respect for rules and form. If we woz all tawking lik dis, den we'd ave a bladdy hawd time commoonicatin. I'm a lecturer myself, so have a deep respect for language and expect others to do so too. There are differences between spoken and written English, but there is a big difference between someone who is well spoken and someone who hasn't even mastered basic grammatical functions appropriately. I simply pointed this out. Haye stumbles around quite a lot, but of course he is a bit richer than me, so I should let it pass.
Wealth is totally besides the point and using uneducated lyricists to further your claim is silly. Instead you should be saying that this kind of language would never pass in the media or in a self respecting classroom. Haye couldn't find the correct words, why are you people so defensive about this? Standards are falling if you excuse these kinds of things. Would you seriously not correct one of your students if they made repeated language mistakes and didn't even realise they were doing it?
All I have done is point out something from a video that has been posted. Language is the first thing I ever think about whenever I hear anybody speak. Such anger and defensiveness, what are you people so wounded by? You started dishing the insults and act like a wounded tiger when I strike back. Tut tut.
And this is really my last post in this thread because I have made my points and yet for some daft reason, a few of you (clearly Haye fans) keep calling me back in. The argument has nowhere else to go and I am content to leave it at that. But no doubt Adam GB will be harping on about silver spoons and showjumping and you will be calling me a cunt again. Well, that's for you two to decide.

After reading through this thread I had to find this Samuel L. Jackson clip from Pulp Fiction. A great one.
OK you cunt, run from a discussion like the cowardly cunt you are. The problem I have is with you expecting everyone else to conform to your expectations. It's a fact that popular culture and region has a large impact upon our language. Some people say nowt and Mardy does this make them lesser people? who are you Mr English Lecturer to pass judgement? Is Haye in a classroom? Cunt?
