My Language Gripe

"I ain't got no . . . "
I realize this is colloquial language, but I encourage my students to move beyond this. I grew up with this language in my vocabulary, but changed my style when I started school. This is one of the unlearning issues as addressed by Donna Quallley. Sometimes we must unlearn as we learn.
