This is why I'm making my own language. Anyways will not be part of it.

Nice thread OP, very informative and good read.




Anyways, braves for the world series this year!

"Anyways" is mostly a derivitive slang word. Are you implying we should cease all slang because it's not truly registered English words?

Besides, I use anyway without an 's'.

Anyways isn't slang. It's considered "nonstandard."

slang: very informal usage in vocabulary and idiom that is characteristically more metaphorical, playful, elliptical, vivid, and ephemeral than ordinary language

nonstandard: not conforming in pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, etc., to the usage characteristic of and considered acceptable by most educated native speakers; lacking in social prestige or regionally or socially limited in use

Compare: beef curtains, ain't

Oh wow. Classy, DatVu. Subtelty obviously is not your forte.

No, I'm pretty tactless. I readily admit that. It's one of the few qualities about myself I like and surprisingly, many people I know personally love that about me. I'm smart enough to know that is has a time and place, but frankly, on the internet, I don't give a flying ****.
