I wouldn't have been able to read Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow were it not for exposure to the American vernacular on message boards - i'm only used to the British style of literature and found it near impenetrable

since we're on the topic, i remember one time when my teacher gave us an exam english conversation. here it goes:
teacher: Do you mind waiting?
me: ye's i'll wait.
and she gave me a failing grade for that specific answer alone. i was in grade 4 at that time and she was not able to correct me. what should have been the answer then if it was wrong? that's one of the most mind bugging puzzle that up to now i have no answer.
