My speech teacher once gave us an assignment to talk to our neighbor outside of class and count how many "word whiskers" such as "like", "ya know", "and so" people used in their conversation. It was eye opening to say the least. Proper grammar and proper speech can go a long way to dispel a person's lack of book learnin' you know.

"Proper" grammar and speech don't really exist like that. There is nothing inherently wrong or ungrammatical (generally) with the way the Duggars speak.

This was in a business speech class and he wanted us to be aware of those little words that could cause us problems. I worked for a lawyer who charged us 25¢ every time we said used slang in a discussion. The money went into our doughnut fund. Corporate speech and home speech are two different animals.

I had a teacher one time who ended just about every sentence with "yes?". I tallied it up one day and the total was 230 in a one and a half hour time span.

I used to count my biology teacher's UH and UM during class. Highest count was 155 in a 55 minute period. :?

This should be a simple mini-history lesson for Smuggar that's probably a million times better than his "homeskooling." Apologizes to homeschoolers who actually know what they're doing everywhere. It's one of the biggest fuckin' henges in the world. No one's build a henge ever since. No one knows what the fuck a henge is!

Oh yes, two very different things. It is just annoying when people who speak with an accent are labelled as dumb and uneducated just for the way they speak. Slang is a whole other issue.

I'm from Wisconsin,been gone for years, but still speak with an accent, my spousal units family spent most of their life in TX and OK, so I don't knock accents, I knock people who can't put a sentence together. AFter reading most of Josh's tweets and Instagrams, I am pretty sure his main concern is food, conservatives and Wal-Mart. What a tool.

I had a government teacher in high school who cussed. We would do stick counts of how many times in 55 minutes he'd say damn, hell, or worse (never said the F Word). My notes were covered in little fence rows.

Lol, I did that with teachers too! One time in elementary school there was this girl who always interrupted the teacher whenever he was talking. We kept track one day and she never made it more than a minute without interupting.

I speak with a slight accent, mainly because I am from a slightly rural-ish area and I do feel that I am looked down on for it sometimes. It can be a bit frustrating.

You forgot to mention Josh's obsession with Florida dumps, taking pictures out of vehicles (probably while driving), and himself. ;)

It's not ungrammatical to use fillers in your speech. People use them because we're not on TV, and so we don't have writers. EVERYBODY uses them.

Of course, if you're giving a prepared speech or are speaking in a debate or something like that, it's good to avoid them. That's because in that case, you're supposed to have been prepared in advance. In real life, though, nobody is prepared in advance.

      Guess I should update again? Frieda (Kiki, we renamed her) is here since the end of February 2021. She came with a bunch of problems, but is the best dog ever and is doing better every day. But we do now know how a dog with ptsd looks like. For real, not joking. If she is triggered during the day, she wakes up screaming at night. Not like dogs dream, but literally screaming. Other than that she went with us on countless trips, loves hiking and even cable cars. She is one heck of a fearless dog in situations who do not remind her of her old life. 
      My Grandpa passed away last May and I'm still grieving a lot. After sharing a house with my grandparents for over 30 years it is just horrible to lose one of them. Even though it was his decision and he got to go like he wanted. At home, in his bed during the night without doctors. He would have need more care and he did not want more care. So after turning 90 he decided to let go and became weaker and weaker. 
      In other news my dad stops working for good on April 1st. Retirement time. Keep my Mum and myself in your prayers. We really do not want him at home all the time. Haha!

      I don't always make good decisions for myself due to severe depression but I did today actively decide not to do something that might have been detrimental for me and am very proud of myself.

      Well, this is weird. At some point, recently, I broke my wrist. I had to get a Dexa-scan today (put it off for years) and along with some bone loss, damn I had it a few minutes ago… the results said, “Fracture risk is moderate, and the patient has a significant wrist fracture. Treatment is advised.”  my left wrist aches a little but not near as much as my back, feet, knees or fingers, damn RA. I have no idea how it happened. I haven’t fallen in 2 years, haven’t banged or bumped…  the dr will call tomorrow and we’ll get  this straightened out.

      I got my stickers today after renewing my vehicle registration. 
      Just reminded me again how different Minnesota is from Iowa.  Since I didn't register my vehicle in January last year, I got a sticker for the month since all MN plates are made with JAN printed in the lower left hand corner.  They also require people to put stickers on both the front and back plates, as opposed to Iowa that just want's the single sticker on the rear plate.
      Oh well, considering how MN is trying to move into the 2020s while Iowa is trying to lurch the fuck back to the 1840s, the type and number of license plate stickers is really a minor thing.
