The use a colloquialism (look it up kids) is accepted form IF you know the difference. The word ain't is old Elizabethan English, spoken in Eastern Tennessee up until radio/TV and the opening up of an isolated backwater in America. Angel knows, and the putting down of someone who says "ain't" is a cheap shot. Try criticizing Shakespeare. Thank goodness, it's still pretty amazing country and relatively unspoiled. A place on the planet that suits you is a rare and wonderful find. Like a great fishing spot, keep it to yourself.
