<html> <head> <style></style></head> <body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'> Hi Paul, I often see this on craigslist ads regarding pianos.  " the piano needs tuned"    Terry you're right the English language is on a decline. I mean what does "Yo, what up dog?" mean?  or that one TV show when Will Smith I think is his name says to the Cab driver, "Yo home smell you later."  or the words "by his self", picked that one up in the Mid West where I used to live.    Speaking of language, I find it interesting that people have to swear even in their writing. I've seen it on the list from time to time and on facebook. I mean what's the purpose really?   So yes our language is on the downward path.    Marshall Gisondi 215-510-9400 <a href="http://www.phillytuner.com">http://www.phillytuner.com</a> </div></body> </html>
