Its 3 am right now, I'm about to go to sleep but then this thought came up, and I know its gonna drive me crazy if I don't post this, so here goes....
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I've had too many people telling me "Ain't is not a word" but when I asks them what then makes a word official, I failed get an answer that satisfy me.
As far as my limited knowledge goes, words are made up, used and accepted widely, and becomes official. The word "ain't" and many others like it fits into this reasoning but people keep on saying it's not a word just because the dictionary says so.
So what then officiates a word? What the hell do I have to do to get people to recgonize that "ain't" (or other words) is about as *word* as any other words get? Why won't people recgonize "ain't" as a word?????????? Am I missing something that needs to be explained or hammer into my thick head?
g'night all
