Do you ever completely murder your grammar while speaking?

[legoman666]

I sometimes find it too difficult to say something correctly whilst speaking. Instead of standing there for 10 seconds, saying nothing, I just completely muddle it and hope the person I'm talking to either doesn't notice or understands it anyway. Or sometimes, saying something correctly would require too many words instead of the 2-3 that saying it incorrectly would require, so I just drop the extra words in favor of laziness. Can't think of any specific examples.

If I am very tired, I have a tough time being grammatically correct or choosing the right words unless I really think before I speak.

i usually write in correct grammar but i usually speak with incorrect grammar.

Same here. Hell, depending on how little sleep I've had, I'm lucky to have coherent thoughts to begin with. I'll sometimes forget the ending of a sentence while I'm in the middle of it, or else the entire point I was trying to convey.

only when drunk.

I have subject/verb disagreement in complex sentences sometimes while speaking.

 

[Aikouka]

No.

 

[GeekDrew]

Infrequently.

 

[KeithTalent]

Unless I am in some sort of altered state, no.

When speaking to a black person, I occasionally catch myself switching unconsciously into subtle Ebonics mannerisms if they are speaking that way. This was a good survival tool when I was a dope fiend trying to fit in with the fiends in the ghetto; but now presents somewhat of a problem as I now work in a law office. Luckily I have never referred to a client as "dawg" or greeted them with "Sup ma n***a!" or anything along those lines, but I'm still not comfortable with frontin' like that.

Not all that oftentimes.

I wouldn't say that. It's very easy to unconsciously start using various colloquialisms among different groups of people; especially if you're someone who's moved all around the country or lived in diverse areas.

To be honest, it is a pretty good survival mechanism that allows you to stand out less, especially if you're in an uncomfortable/hostile surrounding.

Well duh. Kind of hard to be an addict if you can't follow the dope. It's sort of a prerequisite.

Yes being the lone goldfish in a tank full of piranhas you learn to swim like a piranha or you get eaten. Whiteness = weakness in the hood.
