Perfectly good colloquial English. Obviously, I use more formal English in the documents I correct, but they are academic texts that adhere to a fairly regimented style. But in the forum I can be less formal. English is defined by usage, so there's no way you can say that a particular common usage is more or less correct than another, but you can say whether a particular text adheres to the norms for its genre. French, however, is another matter, and the Academie Francais tries to regulate every last comma! It's on a loser in many areas, though.How about correcting "Nope" ?
