Prepositions have taken a beating too.
The best guidance of correct English grammar and idiom is Nancy Mitford's book Noblesse Oblige in which it is implicitly reinforced that sentences should never end in a preposition .For example if addressing a low-life retard to enquire where the local dance-hall may be situated, incorrect grammar is often heard, as in : "Oi, can you tell me where the pussy is at?. The correct English should be ended in a noun rather than a preposition: The low-life should be correctly addressed, and politely, thus: "Excuse me, could you tell me where the Pussy is at?, Asshole. "? (Or arsehole in the case of AL). Manners maketh man. |

Your effort at humor is juvenile and quite dated.
The use of extreme language should be justified by circumstances. Civil standards contribute to civilized society. The use of profanity is extraordinarily common among non-whites.
