Might was well stay in the trailer, shinerbock.

Dang, it's just about High Tea time too - I guess we're not refined enough to qualify for ChildoftheHorn's teaparty. Oh well, back in the trucks, y'all.

Too bad you can't say the same for your spelling.

^^^Took etiquette classes, attended an elementary school for the "gifted," and still says y'all.

BTW CotH, do you say Missouree or Missouruh?

Sigh... I know I'm going to catch flak for this but... what is wrong/bad about High Tea (or do you mean Low Tea)? I love tea, I love the little sandwiches and meats (or the pasties and sweets at Low Tea), and I love the scotch that follows.

Nothing's wrong with High or Low Tea -- as long as it's not unsweet tea.

OMG!!! Now you are taking things completely out of context! This is crazy, is it provoke the new member day? IDK - but it seems that people are twisting things to be to their own liking instead of their face value. My response about the speech thing was to the post above it about people from my state.

Also, There is NOTHING wrong about living in a trailer! Some people have just hit hard times or had a hard life, don't look down at them because of it. - That is a serious comment. Lack of money doesn't make you stupid or unclean, if you have met people in those circumstances you would agree.

*Those classes only teach you how to act in certain situations and not how to splel tinhgs . My major has to do just about as little as is possible with the english language.

There are also really expensive trailers.

Since people are stuck on this "y'all" thing, my Southern parents didn't allow us to say "ya'll." They would always correct us and make us say "you all." They didn't care about regional dialect. They just cared about proper English, since "y'all" wasn't an accepted contraction (although almost all contractions were once deemed uneducated and improper English).

Very true, there is a very good documentary/show on the discovery channel about it. "Million Dollar Trailer Homes"

The owners all had other homes too. I was talking about what people usually assocciate with the type of housing.....

I don't know who to go after in this post, part of me wants to blast RA for giving us the Canadian perspective, but this girl talking about million dollar trailers just damn near gave me an aneurysm (which is a big deal, cause the mill don't offer very good health insurance).

LOL

There actually are expensive trailers and middle class trailer communities.

It is only nonintuitive because of what people have grown accustomed to regarding trailer homes and the people who live in them.

shinerbock · #58 03-30-2007, 05:57 PM

Yeah, I actually know a couple people whose parents bought them a trailer for college. Its weird going there, because you're driving around a TRAILER PARK and they're all filled with at least middle class kids with new 30k z-71's sitting outside.
