Kind of like, if we were talking about baseball, and someone answers "yeah, and with a banana too". Just doesnt make any sense.
Deed is done Ma'am.
However, what I think people need to realize is, what doesn't make sense to one person, makes sense to another, so why should one person who don't get it have to pass a judgment on that person's mental or otherwise stability/capacities?
To me, a lot of the expressions, words and ways you(not you alone Tinks) form your sentences don't make sense to me right away. And I'm 700miles away from you lot...
If something is unclear, just ask the person what they meant by it, they should have no problem clearifying it.
You say " Let's go to the movies"
I would say "Ya, So what we getting from de store?"
But to you, you would find this as odd, but to me is just what it means, even though it has nothing to do with the movies directly, I am still affirming to the question/statement.
It's almost like indirect speech. I know what you're talking about, but I add or subtract information, because that's what we do.
"Did you pass the test?"
"Ya, but de Teacher was a bitch though and I barely got a B."
Didn't ask about the teacher, but still it is relevant, atleast to me.
Just little things like that.
and sentence form is all out of whack to me when I read it here(I have to reread a lot);
You would say; "He's been told!"
Whereas I would say; "Been Told him (That)!"
I may have been taught English at home and School, but it's not the same form as yours, so of course there would be confusion and weird bits of information you don't get or that I don't get, but it doesn't mean either of us are Brain Damaged...
That's what I'm trying to get across...
