I think most of the people on this site do that already.
Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook
He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

Great PSA however I think the folks on this site do that. Your statement might reach more people who fish but don't care about our lakes, rivers, and the Sound, (and I am sure there are many), if it was a message written in the Seattle Times News Paper, or maybe on its own web site. Just a thought. Your intentions are appreciated.

LOL Thank you Mr.Derrick-k 2nd period English teacher! That was good.
Oh yeah, please help our lakes and rivers and creeks and ponds stay clean (run on sentence) by not putting Carp in them, that really messes our eco systems up.

May I say a few words on this, please.

The purpose of this forum is to allow anyone who wishes to, to participate in the conversations and to start new topics. This is open to anyone who intends on posting reasonable topics and in a polite manner.
It is not appropriate to comment on someones spelling, punctuation or sentence structure.

In my opinion, The One's post on this topic is sincere and polite. It is not correct for we readers to comment on the way the post was presented.

From Marriam-Webster dictionary:

ain't

Main Entry:
ain't Listen to the pronunciation of ain't
Pronunciation:
\'ant\
Etymology:
contraction of are not
Date:
1749

1 : am not : are not : is not 2 : have not : has not 3 : do not : does not : did not —used in some varieties of Black English
usage Although widely disapproved as nonstandard and more common in the habitual speech of the less educated, ain't in senses 1 and 2 is flourishing in American English. It is used in both speech and writing to catch attention and to gain emphasis <the wackiness of movies, once so deliciously amusing, ain't funny anymore — Richard Schickel> <I am telling you—there ain't going to be any blackmail — R. M. Nixon>. It is used especially in journalistic prose as part of a consistently informal style <the creative process ain't easy — Mike Royko>. This informal ain't is commonly distinguished from habitual ain't by its frequent occurrence in fixed constructions and phrases <well—class it ain't— Cleveland Amory> <for money? say it ain't so, Jimmy! — Andy Rooney> <you ain't seen nothing yet> <that ain't hay> <two out of three ain't bad> <if it ain't broke, don't fix it>. In fiction ain't is used for purposes of characterization; in familiar correspondence it tends to be the mark of a warm personal friendship. It is also used for metrical reasons in popular songs <Ain't She Sweet> <It Ain't Necessarily So>. Our evidence shows British use to be much the same as American.

Why pounce on this member cause of grammer and then re-write it? That's kind of inappropriate, I think at least. Of couse there is a difference between "are" and "our" but for the sake of the post, his/her message gets across just fine. Chill out ya grammer freaks, and don't try to re-write it...lol...wow.

No disrespect to anyone on here but I think we're way off track of the subject. TheOne had a good point and it should be a reminder to ALL of us anglers.

The best that I can tell is the meaning are changing. When I was in school, it was not acceptable. My wife is an elementary school principal and she his seeing that word used more and more. It gets the hair up on the back of her neck. One of the words used very often today is anyways. The correct word is anyway.

The English language has changed much over the last 200-300 years. As we get older, we see it change or become more acceptable as time goes by.

IMO, ain't, ain't a word:geek:

Back when we were in school, ain't wasn't considered a word, but since then has been adopted as such. It's just not a proper word, more of a regional dialect issue I liken to the word boughten which is also a regional dialect. I was playin, he does make decent points, but I always pick up trash where I go as there just tends to be a ton around some lakes. It sucks pretty bad. However, proper sentence structure and punctuation make it easier for all of us to understand.

I agree with both Marc and Kevinb. It looks to me like VooDuuChild was simply sticking up for TheOne. His intentions are good and he also makes a good point as well about correcting someone else whether accurate or not, which can be received as offensive.
