[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 581638, member: 77"] It's not hard to understand. Verbal skills are developed and ingrained early in life and are constantly reinforced through everyday exposure at home and with peers. Just because you hear some of the people in your circle of contact speaking correctly doesn't change a lifetime of practice. It doesn't mean it can't change, but it would take a concerted effort on his part to do so. There are also people who can turn it off and on at a moments notice. Early in my career I worked part time in an innercity elementary school in the metro Atlanta area. I often overheard the 3rd grade English teacher, a woman of the same ethnicity as her students, tell them "in hear you use 'school speech!' If you want to use 'street speech' at home, that's your business!" Some learned "school speech" and some didn't. [/QUOTE]
