	Do you talk in perfect English?  If you do you are among a very,
	very small minority!  Did you know that proper English doesn't
	allow you to drop the 'g' on a word with an "-ing" ending.  Most
	people do.  Do you speak in double negatives (as in "I ain't got
	no patience!")?  Or do you use the word "ain't"?  If you answer
	YES to any of these, forget it, you do not speak perfect English
	yourself.

I was about ask the writer of this tirade how he had formed such a dismal
opinion of the average person.  Then I looked at the header of the article
and discovered that he lived in Georgia.
