Stop it, right now! (Using "has" for have")

ACK! My ears (or eyes) are bleeding! It has come up in the titles of at least two threads.

I know, it comes from some lame cartoon. I know it’s supposed to be lighthearted, a joke. Stop it, anyway! It just sounds so very ignorant. It goes against the spirit of The Straight Dope, you know, the part about fighting ignorance?

Ok, I’m done.

*My first Pit thread. (I think.)

You gots to have more vitriol.

Aw relax. Go listen to some music. How about that Timbaland song…The Way I Are? That’s a good 'un.

Thank you. I’ve been aggravated by those two threads since they first showed up.

I can has my own pit thread? :smiley:

Make it three. I just posted a third in IMHO. (It’s cat related, though, if that makes a difference.)

Hey now, that is a good song, grammatically improper or otherwise.

Grrr. You kids are NOT taking the old woman seriously! Now get off my grass!

I can has sidewalk?

d&r

I ax you, is that all that’s bugging you today?

Eat a sammich and relax.

If we dont stop, are you going to turn this message board right around? :stuck_out_tongue:

No! But, this is all I’m willing to talk about. Thanks for ASKing!

I can has Icanhascheezburger. (For those who came in late.)

Has a nice day! :stuck_out_tongue:

picunurse, I agree. It’s a stupid, annoying trend. And I’m one of those damn whippersnappers!

For some reason, being ungrammatical just to be goofy doesn’t bother me nearly as much as those who simply refuse to speak correctly out of a refusal to learn. But then this is the first time I’ve seen the “can has” thing, so maybe I just need time to get annoyed at it. :slight_smile:

My God! What’s wrong with kids today? I learned to use has and have properly way back in kindygarden.

Now, now. Not all of us learn that fast. Besides, most cats haven’t had as long to practice grammar as the rest of us.

Although he seems to disprove that rule.

It’s funnier coming from Alberto Gonzalez . (scroll down to the bottom)
