Well done Miles, that was funny and an amusing read.

Well done Miles, that was funny and an amusing read.

Don't encourage him.

I have the voice of Prince Charles reading some of these posts in my head now.

And some of the replies in Eliza doolitles voice like 'just you wait henry iggins just you wait'.

I reckon Miles sounds like Ed Miliband.

Haye spoke some English poorly, but it seems that because a vocal minority of posters on here do the same, they want to turn it into a big deal. Haye made a mistake, I forgive him. But I don't forgive language skanks like Piye for calling me names. If I can be called names then quite clearly Haye can be called inbred or a jumped up chav.

I was born somewhat poor too, but if I managed to differentiate the usages of different grammatical functions then other poor people people should too. It is almost like language inefficiency is worn like a badge of honour. No, we shouldn't aspire to talk like Jordan, we should indeed aspire to talk like Steven Fry etc. People who use language in creative and beautiful ways. They don't try to sodomise the language, only other people.

Why are you of the assumption that the people who find your pseudo intellectual rantings entirely irrelevant must also speak with poor grammar?

Again, it's all down to whether or not you put much stock in text book Grammar.

I'd wager that Haye, putting his energy into athleticism and sporting pursuits has probably garnered greater success and notability than you have with your pursuit of a language.

Just a hunch.

I love the way the English speak their language, it must be a source of amusement across the pond, to hear how some of us 'mericans butcher it.

As for me, I believe I do a better job than most Americans of "articulating", and/or making myself understood, but let's just say I didn't pay close enough attention in English/Grammar classes when I was growing up. Plus, i've spent most of my adult life in the Southern U.S., primarily in Texas and the 'hick' lingo the locals use use tends to rub off on you.
Anyway, i'm fixin' to put my shotgun in mah pickup, get some mutha fukin' beer, and see if I can find some road kill for lunch.

P.S. Hang in there miles, educate us illiterates.

[AdamGB]

Apparently Stephen Fry thinks you're a bit of a cunt.

[Master]

Miles tell AdamGB to F*ck Off. (Mark TKO would)

[AdamGB]

Far too crass for Miles, he's an educated fool (with grammar on his mind, got my dictionary in my hand and a monocle on my eye)

[Gandalf]

Indeed, fuck off AdamGB.

Are we really in a contest to see who has really achieved more? How about comparing me with you then as you seem to want a contest. If that is the case then I think I am the hands down winner. I am controlling the language skills of thousands of people directly. I earn my living by it and am going to spend my holiday researching a paper for publication. I am quite comfortable with my credentials and what I know is appropriate in language use. You probably sell KFC and use forms like "shook". Haye is likely richer, but hey, if you can earn millions by fleecing people with a Harrison fight, then you have to do it right?

You seem to be a lowly educated pleb with a bee in his bonnet over the fact that I will speak my mind over the basic fact that "He's shook" is poor language usage. If we were to all subvert language usage, then we would have a very degraded society, but as things stand it is only ever subverted by those that don't know how to speak or young people who think it is cool to try and subvert it. It is typically the work of lowly educated, working people from more deprived neighbourhoods. If they want to do so then fine, but you show me a BBC news article or journalist ever using this kind of language and I would be quite astonished. It isn't acceptable discourse, it's just passable in the discourse of those that really don't know any better. If you want to do well at school, then you cut that nonsense out. That's a fact.

Anyway, last post in this thread, you silly child.

[piye]

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.

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.
