why do people say "i'm going to prom" instaed of "i'm going to THE prom"?

Well technically, if I remember correctly, Prom is short for Promenade, so you could be 'going to promenade' if it's the verb form.  However, the Prom is the noun version, so it should be 'the Prom.'

I believe you should relax and just enjoy your life. It is not everyday you get to go to prom.

There is a difference between "why did you choose to have a lot of sex partners?" and "why did you decide to be a slut?" \n\nSo I would say wording has a lot to do with it.

Esparanto. This is because a team of experts and students artificially created it. It is perfect in the sense that grammar rules always apply and there are no exceptions. There is a word for everything that exists in other laguages and the congugations are all designed to be simple.

Walk up to someone who doesn't have a date and say something like, "Hey, wanna go to prom?" Just a crazy wild thought that just ran through my head. It's crazy enough it just might work!

Why would you say "it's nice THERE" if you are there?  You'd say "it's nice HERE."\n\nThis is a bogus question.  Thanks for the 2 points.

It is a kind of "Grammar contest", in which the best students in each school participate.\n\nBy the way, it appeared in The Simpsons once.

"I kiss tenderly" with "you" implied. A lot of times in Russian you can leave the personal pronouns out, unlike English.

I'mma is "I'm gonna" or "I'm going to". Trust me, I use it all the time.

I once heard of some kids that wanted to do the same thing. They ended up "tailgating" the prom. You know how people tailgate at a football game? Alot of people can't get tickets, so they go to the games just to tailgate and party. It's more fun than the games sometime! Dress casual, and tailgate outside the prom!!!

Prom is a party for students in 11th or 12th grade.  It varies with schools and only students are invited.

Because the sentence structure police will get you. But really as long as it is in informal conversation it is ok. In business documents or something for school it better be correct.

I agree with "I'm gonna take and...". My stupid ex-boyfriend would say that all the time, "I'm gonna take and go find parts for my car" or somthing stupid like that. I just wanted to hit him and say why can't you say "I'm going to go find parts for my car". I also hate when people say "wuz up" or "sup" or how ever they say it. It justs makes them sound stupid.

Because "To" and "Go" are pronounced differently.\n;)

It translates to " You know that you are beautiful to me". Depending on the way it is said, it could also be a question like "Did you know that you are beautiful to me?".

Cute question.  I'm almost tempted not to try and answer but only agree that you are right, it is just a wrong form of speech.  The truth is, though, we hear it, and it does make sense.  I think it makes sense when the "now" is used not as a reference in time but a reference in a sequence of arguments or acts, a reference in space if you want.  You'll present arguments, and before your conclusion, derived from those arguments, you'll say "now then."  Or you'll do some things like prepare various steps in a recipe, then before you move on, you say "now then."  Is this just more obtuse?

Theres no rule that says u have to have a date for the prom. If u have a friend or friends who also don't have a date  why don't u all go together. If u do end up going alone make sure that u look ur very very best that way you will look so good NO one will once u don't have a date because they will be so into ur outfit, beside  Prom can be stressful then fun because everyone is really into what who;s dating or wearing what and who
