Which one is correct?

'Rag' is slang, so their registers are quite informal, so both are OK, but to make the informality consistent:

He's never been/got ragged.

Thanks Micawber.

But if I had to convey the same message in a formal way, then what would I write?

Hi, guys,

How do we distinguish being ragged on from being tattered and torn? - A.

But if I had to convey the same message in a formal way, then what would I write?
He has never been teased/taunted/tormented/bullied.

Thanks Micawber.

Sorry Avangi but I don't have any idea.

Hi,



The word 'ragged' with this meaning is not common. I recommend you say it another way.

dumbsejal which one is correct:
- He has never been ragged.

- He has never got ragged. Sorry. My problem from the beginning has been, are we talking about the common adjective, or the slang verb? Your examples could be interpreted both ways. [:^)] - A.

You know the funny thing is that I wasn't aware that "ragged" is a slang.

So, I'm still up in the air. Help!

Do you mean, "Quit raggin' on me!"

OR, "The poor homeless man's clothes were completely ragged." (two syllables)

Oh, so sorry Avangi!

I meant it as a verb.

Like, He has never been harassed (or troubled) by others.

Eg.

In this University, the first-year students have never been ragged by their seniors.

May I ask you one more thing. Can we write raggin', 'cause, workin', I'm, etc. formally?

Thanks.
