Corbin and Carly both have started using the word "ain't". Even as I type it, it comes up on my spell check because (as the old adage says) "Ain't ain't a word and you ain't supposed to use it!"
It drives me CRAZY because obviously this is not a word that was used in Minnesota. I told Corbin that it makes him sound uneducated. He told me that everyone in Texas uses this word, even his teachers! I was like, what? Your teachers use this word?!?
I talked to Chad about it, and he too said that it's probably going to be hard for me to get them not to use the word, because he even hears it being used with the adults at the plants he goes to. (Obviously the higher-up executives don't use this in this company, but it is a common word here.) Then, he admitted to me that he has caught himself using it because it is so commonly used, you just pick it up without realizing it.
I feel like I find myself complaining about Texas more than I should in this blog, but I'm trying to keep it real. I'd rather they start using "y'all" more than "ain't".
