They didn’t swear, at least not within my earshot, but they abused the English language in other ways. For a long time, I ignored them reasoning that it was their teachers’ problem and not mine. But when I noticed they were beginning to in­ fluence their six-year-old brother, Brian, I decided it was time I did something. During the summer, I fill­ ed in for their English teachers, correcting their mistakes and trying to set a good example" by using proper grammar. The following are a few of the conversations that en­ sued. Dave: “Me and Paul went to the show last night.” Myself: “Paul and I went to the show.” Dave: “You were there too. eh?” Myself: "How does your English teacher put up with you?” Dave: “He don’t care. He thinks I talk good.” Myself: "How do you make people understand you?” Dave: “My friends un­ derstand me. so do other people. It ain’t hard.” Myself: “You shouldn’t say ain’t.” Dave: “Oh yea. Ain’t ain’t in the dictionary, so I ain’t gonna say "ain’t no more...but ain’t is in the dic­ tionary, you know.” Myself: “No, it ain’t.” Dave: “Gotcha!” Meanwhile Janice and Brian taught me a few slang expressions. Myself: “Jan, just think you’re in high school now. Isn't it exciting?” Janice: “Gross me right out.” Myself: “Look at that new corvette over there. Brian.” Brian: “De-ee-cent!” Myself: “Let’s go for a ride in my car.” Brian: “Gross!” I don’t mind teen-age slang, but "gross” and “decent” don’t sound as ex­ pressive to me as the slang I used when I was a teen-ager. “Groovy” and “cool” were the “in” words in those days. The following confronta­ tion is one of Dave and Janice’s favourite. Dave: “I don’t got no money.” Myself: “I don’t have any money.” Dave: "That’s what I said.” Myself: “No, v.ou didn’t. You said “I don’t got no money.” At that point, Janice glanced away from the tv set and piped up. “Don’t got! That's poor grammar. Elaine. And you call yourself a writer?” After two months of con­ tinuous battles of the tongues, I gave up. Dave and Janice were now the problems of their high school teacher, and Brian was being influenced by his grade one teacher, hopeful­ ly, rather than by his older brother and sister. I was tired. I’m not sure how influential I was, but I did my best. I don’t got to tell you folks how hard it was on me, and I don’t got no strength left to try no more. Gross me right out! Sorority enjoy heritage debate Xi Gamma Nu Sorority Chapter members and guests met Tuesday evening September 20 at the Exeter Town Hall, Guest speaker, Jerry McDonnell led a discussion on what heritage means to you. He explained how the hall came into existence in 1887 and the restoration in the 1970’s.
