Good vs. Well

[JSE]

Allow me a moment to vent..............................


The next fricken time someone corrects me for saying I'm doing good after they ask me how I'm doing, I'm gonna break my size 12.5 off in their ARSE!!!!!! :incazzato: "Actually, it's I'm doing well." I DON"T F&^%ING CARE! I am so freaking sick and tired of the a-hole grammar snobs correcting me when I say "Good". I've had at least 3 or 4 people correct me over the last couple of weeks. I truly feel sorry for the next person who does it to me.

And BTW, "Good" is perfectly acceptable.

So F#$@ Y^% Grammar Snobs!


Ok, sorry. I saw bright white light and then went a little blind there for a moment. :crazy:

All is better now. At least until someone is unfortunate enough to correct me.

And BTW, "Good" is perfectly exceptable.

Actually, it's "acceptable" not "exceptable". I'm sure you'll correct this.

For what were you looking when you originally accessed quickanddirtytips.com ? Wouldn't have been my first Google choice when searching for resources regarding grammatical correctness.

Itch-ay itch-ay, scratch-ay scratch-ay

Haha that's funny my dad hates it when Americans (excuse me if this is wrong but I mostly hear it in the US) use 'good'. I correct people every once in while but it doesn't bother me too much:ciappa:
Anyway, how you doing JSE?:smilewinkgrin:

[bobsticks]

I'm seeing the white light again.............:mad5:

Hey speaking of the white light, shouldn't there have been a comma between "bright" and "white" in the original post?

One of my favorites is done and finished. Remember cakes are done and people are finished. The cake is done. I finished the report.

[kexodusc]

I'm wit'ya JSE...

I get reamed for saying "A to Z" (pronounced zee) instead of "A to Zed" and other such irrelevancies all the time...substance over style is my thing.

Next time someone corrects you, punch'em in the junk. Then ask them how "well" they feel.

[Auricauricle]

Zed's dead, baby!

[ForeverAutumn]

Zed's dead, baby!

I once went into a CD store in Vegas and asked the clerk there if they had anything by the band IZZ. Of course he'd never heard of them and had to look them up on the computer. He asked, "Is, like eye ess?". And I said, "no, eye zed zed". He stopped, stared at me with his mouth open like I was from outer space and said, "eye WHAT, WHAT?".

LOL. I told him to forget it and walked away.



The next fricken time someone corrects me for saying I'm doing good after they ask me how I'm doing, I'm gonna break my size 12.5 off in there ARSE!!!!!!

So I guess that you don't want to hear that it should be "their" ARSE. Huh?

OUCH! Oh my, those really are 12.5 aren't they? Ew. That didn't feel so good. :nonod:

That little article is a feeble and ultimately invalid attempt to rationalize incorrect, though recently popular, English usage. But what would someone from Bush country know about English usage?

If one's health is good, then one is well. If one is good, one does what one's mommy tells one to do.

[02audionoob]

If what you say is what you mean and it's understood by the person to whom you are speaking, I'd say it's close enough.

[JSE]

Anyway, how you doing JSE?:smilewinkgrin:

I'm F^%$@^G GOOD! :D

[RoadRunner6]

Yeah Rich, If I told my wife I was going up to Moose Jaw for an audio convention, the first thing she would say in almost perfect Engrish is " where the f**k is Moose Jaw? (she learned that kind of talk from her American husband).

I was riding up the chair one cold and clear morning at Mount Spokane. Voices really carried in the thin air. There were lots of Canadians there that day. About five chairs up was a visiting Canadian skiier and Sally, the foxiest ski instructor on the mountain. Everyone was carrying on the normal conversations like "isn't it a great day for skiing" and "where are you from?". Suddenly, as I just looked up the mouintain, she turned to him and in a very loud voice that everyone up and down the chairs could hear she said, "Where the f**k is Moose Jaw"? Everyone was howling. Of course, Moose Jaw is in Sachatchewan, but if you have never heard the name of the city it sounds rather humorous at first (like maybe where Sarah Palin was born)

RR6.

[Rich-n-Texas]

Thanks for that RR6.

I didn't mean any offense when I said leg-humper, I was just giving FA an example of what one might say to a girl on a largely male dominated discussion board.

(She thinks I'm a pervert don't ya know?)

No worries! Already sent. :thumbsup:

I know. I wonder, do you insure the package when you send it? What value? What happens if one bottle breaks, the package handler smells it, opens the box and drinks the unbroken one? That would suck, really.

[ForeverAutumn]

Thanks for that RR6.

Yes, thank you Rich, because I don't get enough examples of that on a daily basis. :lol:

And it's not true. I don't think that you're a pervert. I just think that you could benefit from some friendly female company to calm you down. ;)

One of my favorites is done and finished. Remember cakes are done and people are finished. The cake is done. I finished the report.

You are so done.

BTW, I recently became aware that the Brits are careful to distinguish between "naught" and "zero," but Americans (typically) just say "oh" for either. Bad Americans - "nothing" for us.

Yeah. She says that then she teases me with a kissy wink. :cryin:

Happy 5K FA. I consider this group very lucky to have a girl (gal, lady, female, woman, babe, hottie, dame, broad) like you here for the evenhanded style with which you deal with the male personalities that live here.

(Me... I like to fantasize about you and me...together.........)

[RoadRunner6]

I know all about leg humping Rich. My brother-in-law in Japan has a long-haired Dachsund named Musashi that humps my leg all the time. He refuses to get the dog fixed, thinks it will lower his manhood (or is it doghood) somehow, typical Japanese chauvanistic attitude. I looked at my leg one time and it is not even that sexy!

I know FA is not offended as she must get my very dry humor by now. Anyway her "how are you RR6" come back was very cute. I like Canadians you know, my grandmother was a Whitefish Montanan Irish Woman via Canada. They are great people in spite of their funny accent and lousy hockey teams!

RR6

[ForeverAutumn]

How could I ever get upset with someone who quotes Jabberwocky?! Once upon a time I knew the whole poem by heart. Besides, I love your dry humour. Why, I'd almost think that you were a member of the Commonwealth with humour like that. Canadians and Brits seem to enjoy that dry humour.

And Rich, thanks for the 5K good wishes and kind words. I never even noticed the 5000. And I'd better hope that my boss never notices either. I've been spending too much work time on this site lately I'm afraid. I should probably scale back...but you guys are just way more fun than my job!

On that note, it's time to pack it in and go home for the weekend!

[RoadRunner6]

FA, my other half is British (on my father's side), Welsh to be exact. I gave the eulogy at my father's funeral and had them rolling in the aisles (of the church that is, not the British Isles!), just exactly as he would have wanted. I know he was laughing the hardest.

If I hadn't got my PhD in Extraterrestrial Psychosomatic Physics I most likely would have tried out for a position (well, that opens it up, or should it be...good, that opens it up?) with Monty Python (I fart in your general direction) or the Beatles. I can drum quite jolly good with my chopsticks then, old chap.

RR6 (no smilely face, stiff upper lip)

Aren't you supposed to be checking on that daffy broad down in 307? (Woops, can we still use the word broad?)

[Auricauricle]

"Broad" is semi acceptable....I don't care fer "wacko".

I just picked up on "whitefish" and couldn't resist the temptation....thinkin' 'bout the gill o' my dreams and all.

I ran into our company President at the coffee machine this morning. He asked me how I was and I answered "I'm good. How are you?" He responded, "I'm well. Well is the correct way to respond, not good".

I acknowledged that he was correct. After all...he's the boss so I'm not going to tell him to go and stuff himself. Besides, he said it with an evil smirk his face so I knew that he was just saying that because he knew that it would bug me.

The whole exchange made me think of you JSE. :)

Actually my favorite response to the question: "How are you?"

is:

"I is good"...

That tends to stop people in their tracks... and I never get corrected for saying it...

Do a little recycling, a little conservation and reduce your carbon footprint. Next time they correct you and say you're doing "well", correct them and say "No, I'm doing good, I've significantly reduce my carbon footprint. How are you?" That should shut them up. Or you could become a "Big Brother" do voluntary work etc.
