Why is it so hard to understand?

I've seen some hints that might indicate otherwise.
For example, "why would i borrow someone like you cash". "Lend cash" is the correct term. Carrying $6k in cash is good if you want to buy illegal stuff, otherwise use credit cards. And the statement about the number of people having 5k in the bank is way off. Plus, he doesn't wish to discuss the details about how he earns it.

Yes, to say "Why would I lend someone like you .... " or "Why would I loan someone like you ... " is proper English.
However, to say, I am going to "borrow you" something is a regional colloquialism. It's quite common here in Wisconsin, and I am sure it is common elsewhere.

you're making a mockery of this thread.
Zoomerang96 said:lol!
i wish you guys could see this, but i just got a text from chris (my friend, his name is chris) and he said "you comin' tomorrow moneybags?"
see! if you guys knew me in for real life, you'd know that everyone in for real knows i have cash. not like bob gates of apple or whatever, but still.
But the society practically DEMANDS that we should be wealthy and now that one person has the courageabsintheminded said:Maybe with your loads of cash buy yourself some self-esteem so you don't feel the need to come into a forum and openly boast about it.

"Loan" is a noun, not a verb. "Borrow you cash" might be a colloquialism, but it's awful grammar.
loan, v. trans. To grant the loan of; to lend. Also with out.

JessicaAnn said:
I just looked in my dictionary, and loan can also be used as a verb.
Also, please see:http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/entry/loan
Many colloquialisms are examples of bad grammar. Colloquial language, by definition, is informal speech.
I think you are hiding behing proper grammar because you don't have as much money as bear. Proper grammar is not a sign of superiority.

Hey Chris, You're loaded right? Maybe you should loan jojo100 some $$$...

**enough = When I run out of toilet paper, I use paper money.
ntalwar said:
Regarding "loan", Merriam Webster has it as a verb until the mid-1300s.
Function:
transitive verb
Date:
13th century
usage The verb loan is one of the words English settlers brought to America and continued to use after it had died out in Britain. Its use was soon noticed by British visitors and somewhat later by the New England literati, who considered it a bit provincial. It was flatly declared wrong in 1870 by a popular commentator, who based his objection on etymology. A later scholar showed that the commentator was ignorant of Old English and thus unsound in his objection, but by then it was too late, as the condemnation had been picked up by many other commentators. Although a surprising number of critics still voice objections, loan is entirely standard as a verb. You should note that it is used only literally; lend is the verb used for figurative expressions, such as “lending a hand” or “lending enchantment.”
jojo100 said:oh no. it seems like this thread is losing steam.
where is zoomerang? i want to hear more about all his/her money!
that brings up a couple questions--since i am relatively new to posting here. long time lurker, new poster.
1. is zoomerang male or female? i tend to think male if he's out buying speed boats at the weekend. girls would probably not be buying speed boats...but maybe they would.
2. is zoomerang 16 years old? there's something about his speech pattern that screams 16. or is he just from montreal?
zoomerang...your braggadocious nature has enchanted me and i must know more about all your bling.
tell me more!!!
COBL_04 said:Zoomerang, if you are not joking, then I think it is quite fair the way people hav reacted in this thread. I have no problem with you starting a thread of this nature, but not when you continue to make comments like these:
Because of the way you bragged, and replied with other comments.
Was there a need to add the part in brackets?
That is out-and-out bragging. It's better if you say "I could possibly spend upwards of 6-7000 dollars a weekend"
What does that even mean? It makes no sense whatsoever! You are effectively asking would you trade in your current money for more money! Of course you would!! If someone said I'll give you $20 for $5, who would refuse?
Can you not see the arrogance in this comment? You're bringing it on yourself.
What would that prove? NO, we don't want to see pictures of your wallet! That is incredibly arrogant.
Nobody cares about proof. If you say you are rich, then I'll believe you, and congratulate you on your wealth, but there's no need to resort to arrogance.
Again, arrogance. You could have said, "but to have that plus a bit cash is good"
That was not really necessary. If you want to talk about your excessive cash, go to a specific forum to talk about it.
Well, I'll stop there. Sorry to have wrote all this, but it was just how i felt after reading this thread.
Zoomerang, you apoligised in your first page, and thanks for that, that was really good, but you then went on with arrogance about showing us your wallet. And apologies if this was all sarcasm.
I think you'll find, as well, that a lot of people here who may be well-off, were humber, and did not want to participate in the thread.

what does grammar have to do with my superior wealth? i don't get it at all.
my spelling struggles at times due to my recreational drug use, but that shouldn't discredit what i'm worth.
do you wish you had my mone or somthin?
