Well, as the old saying tells us, the journey of one thousand miles begins with a single step, so perhaps the person who wrote that line is talking about an economy that is in its earliest stages of development.

No?
I didn't think so...

This one is everywhere and probably has been mentioned before - sorry!

WHY does everyone say "I SEEN that"? You SAW it. No matter the situation, tense, whatever....now it's common (and stupid) to say "I seen that".

Trust me, everyone does not say "I SEEN that." Some people say it. I have never said it and I rarely hear anyone I know say it. I hear it on tv and read it in forums.

You've just said it more than I have ever said it .

BTW - why does everyone say "everyone?"

I've heard those jobs pay above scale if the applicant is really soft and fluffy.
