Arkansas Struggle With Grammar

[JaguarXKJaguarXF]

In England, James's book is correct. James' book is correct in American English.

[masterkayaki]

i love you jill. so much

[theULTIMATEanswer42]

"not buyin what your sayin" oh please with those tits she can sell me anything

[ShalomDove]

"Nobody does " 's's " unless you didn't go to school."

So, a Cornell University English professor never went to school, then? The first page of William Strunk's "Elements of Style" deals with this rule using the following examples: "Charles's friend"; "Burns's poems." (Professor Strunk wrote the guide and his student, E.B. White, added to it).

It drives me nuts when people who don't know what they're talking about act like everyone ELSE is ignorant.

[spinemelter2000]

1:37 "For everyone that's grown up" should be "For everyone WHO has grown up." I refuse to believe that that twit finished second grade.

[Parralyzed]

@spinemelter2000 You can use "that" for a person, idiot

[spinemelter2000]

@Parralyzed A person is a who, not a that. I learned that in college. Did you go to college?

[Parralyzed]

@spinemelter2000 From the grammar site englishplus com:

"That" may refer to a class or type of person.

Great college education you got there.

[Solidox2k]

yep jill was wrong. "jesus's" is correct.

And if you call ARK stupid then u called states around us stupid too so FUCK OFF come to ARK before u put us down and call us stupid w

[sherrenee0610]

She is retarded. Just because we are from the south does not make us stupid.

[5hafayet]

@sherrenee0610 You are 100% right ! 

[chandl34]

You've got a lot of patience, Cenk.

[Reqrezentin]

@chandl34 lool

[emmyjo720]

I really don't like Jill, Ana is much better and less up herself and rude.

[hamzeeco]

i like Jill, but she's kinda evil 

[solidturckie]

she's annoying

[BunionMann]

Jesus Jill is such an annoying cunt.

[Ragitsu]

@BunionMann

Who is Jesus Jill?

[jovialduke]

thank allah they got ana

[mrrhinohead31two31]

haha "it needs to evolve its ass so i'll evolve it for it"

[StanOfGB]

SHUT UP, bring on Ana instead!

[wuzzupl]

@StanOfGB this was before ana was hired...

[JLGfilms08]

im from arkansas, the middle of arkansas, i aint that stupid, so your a bitch and this show better get shut down

[Dakota2147]

@JLGfilms08 come on man, she's a bitch and she isn't on the show anymore.

It isn't Cenk and Ana's fault that she's a bitch. The Young Turks is awesome and I am from Arkansas

[JLGfilms08]

@Dakota2147 if she's off then im happy :D and cool, nice to find another arkansan

[NUTCASE71733]

@JLGfilms08

It's "I'm from Arkansas", Ain't is not a word, "I" is to be capitilized whenever it's used, it's "you're" and you neglected to place a period at the end.

[zumosmorph]

@NUTCASE71733 Ain't is however in the dictionary under slang, so it is a word. It just isn't formal.

On another note, she just annoyed a bunch of Arkansas residents/former residents, including myself.

[NUTCASE71733]

@zumosmorph

I know I was just jabbing at this idiot's ego.

[RayRoark2009]

I hope you know what a BITCH you are and how fuccking crazy you can be. How dare your ass talk about southern states lke that and I hope that yall's show will close down.

[xorasel]

She's an idiot. Also, possibly high or something.

[soundslave]

Damn, that woman is annoying. Cenk is itching to fire her ass.

[ApesAmongUs]

So this confirms they don't have an editorial staff - not one person involved in this whole production told her she was making a fool of herself in front of the camera.

Making a mistake is always understandable, but correcting others and having your correction be this fucking wrong just makes you look like an idiot.

[Chadjbecher1]

Did you mean Cenk. Your kind of scaring me man.  I don't think she has the capability to blow a load.

[Chadjbecher1]

Actually she is wrong with the examples. s' is for plural posessive. s's is for singular possesive. example:

1. The class's assignment is easy.

2. All of those classes' assignments were easy.

[hamzeeco]

@Chadjbecher1 she's a bit evil, but she's right... the correct way to write it : The class' assignment is easy

[Venue0309]

@hamzeeco It just looks wrong without the added S. And it's illogical if you think about it. However, classes' makes sense for plural possession. Just think about how you say the words, and it makes sense with the S, otherwise it won't make sense.

Example: Jesus' car is coming.

[Venue0309]

@Chadjbecher1 Yes! But with Jesus, it's not plural, so you would expect it to be Jesus's and not Jesus' for singular possession. 

[Venue0309]

@Chadjbecher1 thank you for that! Even though this is a year old, people need to know proper grammar.

[bigballa269]

2:43 Dave, your a grammar snob...

you can see jesus bobbing his head in agreement

[Omega231984]

Isn't it amazing how the American language is the only one that constantly contradicts it's own vocabulary while the rest of the world has a single standard that never changes?

[othonor]

Jill is right, I'm shocked those other guys didn't know, shocked O__o

[upplsuckimcool16]

I agree with Jill 100%

[jdw11]

learn how to spell jesus for fuck sake. then maybe..... just maybe you can begin to make fun of Arkansas.

A State bitches

[PocketRebel]

It's controversial now. Many textbooks now actually teach that you only have to put an apostrophe on the end. IMO, whether it's Jess or Max, it should take an apostrophe S. Jess's and Max's. Who cares if it ends in S? But, like I said, many books are now allowing the apostrophe at the end. If she wants to make fun of someone, it should be the people who add an apostrophe when pluralizing... dog's and cat's. Now that's something horrifying.

[Bladewing10]

Actually when you have a possessive 's you use it even if the word ends in an "s". The only time you don't follow an apostrophe with an "s" is when there are multiple items being possessed and when there are multiple possessors, like 'The two Jesus' cars." If there is one Jesus, it would still be "Jesus's cars". Sorry Jill.

[sshuck]

Well, almost. You still have to form the plural. It would be "The two Jesuses' cars."

[bothofus1234]

Wow, this bitch is dumb. She was totally unprepared, and couldn't even spell Jesus. I can't believe she couldn't find anything more important to talk about. She must have been dumped & discarded by an Arkansas boy!

[malo5632]

Wtf. Both of you are fucked up. I hope that a mob of "improperly" speaking Arkansans beat you and put you in a trough to feed to the hogs. Oops, I means Hogs's. And when it comes time where the econmy fails and we are having to live off the land, it'll be yall city slickers that will suffer and die because yall lack the knowledge of having to survive without your fancy technology and shit.

[Smackdown5]

I hope she doesnt drive a car, otherwise every1 should stay off the streets

[Chadjbecher1]

hilarious

[tubesinger]

JERK! i'm from arkansas and i KNOW about my grammer rules.. gah.. you know NOTHING about arkansas so you should probably be quiet. just STOP. you FAIL. oh my goodness. you have nothing else to talk about?? wow. this is stupid.

[HotLeper]

lol but u have to admit the arkansas accent is hilarious

[tubesinger]

i'll accept that statement to be true... lol =D

[qas716]

Yeah, California is filled with many smart people! Like Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, and the Pratts. All that spray tan probably get to the brain. Lol. I'm from California. Defending others.

[qas716]

To this girl: Its immoral, emotionless, rude peole like you that give California a bad name. There is barely a difference of what you said and someone saying, "all asians like Dragon Ball Z" or "all people in the middle east are terrorists". You are ignorant. To all Arkansans, not all people from California are like this.

[Chadjbecher1]

Hey I was going to say white dorks like me like Dragon Ball Z. Don't F with the Z you son of a gon. It is like the holiest of holies.

[sleepyluiz13]

im from arkansas and this shit is wrong

[coreysr5]

this bitch is so retarded.

she has know idea what she's talking about.

fucking bitch.

[MJGWASHERE]

For Real But "Knows Idea What She's Talking About" Does Not Makes Sense. But Seriously She Cant Spell Jesus She Cant Be Talking Shit IF SHE CANT SPELL A NAME.

[obscurerussell]

It's "no", not "know". Clearly, she's not the only one who doesn't know what she or he is talking about.

[Chadjbecher1]

do we have to short hand "she is" constanstly. And yes obscurerussell you are a dumb ass because you and MJGWASHERE are saying the exact same thing he is just being nicer about it.

[crumcon]

Jill is hotttt

[Dathiel70]

Shes a bitch

[Chadjbecher1]

She is a hot bitch. Who is kind of funny. Hey if we didn't have people saying stupid f'd up shit who would we laugh at. I have been laughing the last 8 years under Bush.

[cookie911]

i hate grammar :(

[boaromir]

Jusus.

Grammar lessons from someone who can't spell Hay-soos?

[nirvanaslg]

It depends on the sounds at the end of the word. If one is using the possessive case with the word "molasses", one would write "molasses'" otherwise it would be molasses's."

[KlPi79]

Los's Angeles's best radio talk show.

[TaphasSaidSo]

LOL, im from arkansas, i find this shit funny

[shavebush]

This chick is an idiot. Trying to make AR look stupid? The first 30 seconds shows her intelligence!!

Fat Man: "Spell Jesus"

Dumb Chick: "JUS, Oops, I can't spell!"

[nikki61695]

you know what im going in the 8th grade and im from ARKANSAS and not all of us is bad at that gramer and not all of us talk like that u faget so y dont u go do us all a big favor quit ur job and go screw ur self cuz no 1 wants to hear u F.A.G.E.T!!!!!!!!!!!

[rinka777778]

"Not all of us is bad at that grammar" I regret to inform you that you will be in the 8th for a very long time.

[obscurerussell]

Hmm...  While I'm sure that not every Arkansan is bad at grammar, you clearly are. You're also bad at spelling and punctuation.

[Chadjbecher1]

can't see his post maybe he was being Ironic with out trying

[BrandeeSamuel]

Have you lived in ARKANSAS?,... or if you live there ...move..... or don't comment!!!

[Chadjbecher1]

haven't but I have been to Atlanta and ahh yeah. That was close enough to the South for me. Must be somet

[jleigh38]

A singular noun,whether or not it ends in the letter S, is made possesive by adding an apostrophe and an S,not just an apostrophe.Plural nouns are made possesive by adding only an apostrophe.I learned this rule in a COLLEGE GRAMMAR course,not in 2nd grade or from an Associated Press site.I'm from Arkansas and I'm not dumb at all. If you really want to know why Arkansas is spelled the way it is, take AR History,or do some reasearch and find out the answer.

[chessgirl64]

You're right about that, it does need an "s." Also, the title of the video is incorrect. The subject and the verb don't even agree!

[brasshopper33440]

If you want to talk about a Yugo possessed by Jesus, you say, "Jesus's Yugo." If you have a group of people, like "girls" who all possess something as a group, and the group is already plural in a way that causes the word to end in an "s", you put the apostrophe after the plural "s" without adding another "s", as in "girls' breasts."

[InstantGradual]

I'm done with the letter C in the alphabet. I will replase(that looks funny, but chase is the same damn sound and it uses an S) C with K and S in all words. Why? How do you spell C as a word. "Sea" or See". See my point

[InstantGradual]

Actually chase is an example in which C actually makes sense. Ch uses a different sound for C than K or S. I may let chump and chase alone, but that's the only exseption I see so far

[criminaljustice1977]

Arkansas is French-Idian.

[TantricNO1]

Being from Arkansas, I take offense to this video. Especially the young woman who doesn't know anything about Grammar.

[sango100]

Wow.

That woman (whatever her name is. I don't care.) is a real douche.

Seriously, there are smart and stupid people everywhere in the world. And you, lady, are a stupid one.

[Muaguana]

Where the hell did they pick up that broad from? I hate to nit-pick, but she's a horrible broadcaster.

[moparman7400]

This should have been labeled "YoungTurks struggle with fact versus slanderous, stereotyping generalizations". Damn! I'm also a proud Arkansan, and you... Jill Pike... are a flaming, arrogant douche bag.

[miabitches]

If you want to bitch about grammer.. how about the actual english language/grammer being changed across the US to make it ok to start a sentence with words like "and", "but", "for, "with", ect. Horror.

In truth, AMERICA as a whole is a lazy country and ever degressing. Not to mention, who the hell is the bitch to talk shit about anyone? She seems like quite the dumb fuck herself.

[miabitches]

What a bitch. I'm not sure about that legislation, but obviously..considering what an idiot our American PRESIDENT is, it's possible the Arkansas goverment is at fault and not hat the people of Arkansas are that dumb. I went to school in Arkansas for the majority of my life and I think I'm doing pretty well.

[lowerself]

Get off Jesus's back

[madeshorty22]

I am an Arkansan and this is rude and ignorant.

[SKVPC]

This is stupid. She will be working at a truck stop in two weeks.

[DblOSmith]

I agree with Jill even though she's a total ditz.
