Question

AVOIDING SLANG EXPRESSIONS

RULES
Slang in writing should be avoided because it often imparts an unclear meaning to readers who may not be familiar with it. Writing with slang also becomes out-dated quickly because slang fashions change so frequently. Standard English stays current much longer and is easier for all readers to understand.

Rewrite each of the following sentences eliminating all slang expressions.

I sees the pizza she made, and I goes yuck 'cause it's so gross.

Answer 1

You probably are looking for the English/Writing section.

One of the correct answers would be: When I saw the pizze she made, I went "yuck" because it was so gross.

Answer 2

Consider replacing the phrase went "yuck" with was disgusted.

Answer 3

I saw the pizza she had made, because it was so gross, I said 'yuck'.

Answer 4

you can't replace any word unless given the liberty to do so. if you replace words, it would be rewriting the sentence. @tyteen4a03

Answer 5

@titotheturtle94 If that means the sentence would be grammatically incorrect, no.

Answer 6

'Yuck' is an expression, therefore, not grammatically incorrect. @tyteen4a03

Answer 7

@titotheturtle94 I was referring to your sentence, but I see your point now. I guess it is debatable whether "goes 'yuck'" is a phrase or not.

Answer 8

I saw the pizza she made, and I said "yuck" because it was gross.
That keeps it to where the order of the sentence stays the same and your not replacing any words. And now its grammatically correct because yuck is a word

Answer 9

yes. I definitely see your point as well though. @tyteen4a03
