I am not an english major, however I am a guy that is fucking annoyed with dumb ass girls(or people in general)...I correct them constantly on spelling and grammar....if you can't spell, you cant have my dick inside you
Thank God someone has said something about this. I'm only a sophmore in highschool and this annoys me to no end. I spell out words and punctuate even in text messages. Seriously, how hard is it to move your pinky finger over a key and push that little button. Don't even get me started on the correct use of the word "you." I live in Virginia, and if i hear one more person say "ya'll" and then proceed to argue with me that the correct form is simply "you," I am going to scream!
Yes, I am an English major as well, and I am constantly correcting people's grammar and spelling... major headache/turnoff. It really pisses me off when I find really obvious screwups when workshopping other people's essays. Makes me annoyed and flaccid.
The (number) yar plan is the number of years it will take to graduate. College is 4 years long but some folks take 5, 6, and even 7 year plan and stretch it out.
I thoughts that I were a only grammar nazi. You peoples' corrects every thing. Even I: who is from Mexican: learnt english. Its the sham when even whites can not figure it,
want to know what would go great with this pie. some cool wHip. wait...say that again. what? cool wHip? are you trying to say cool whip? yes, cool wHip. say cool. cool. now say whip. wHip. cool whip. cool wHip. you're eating hair.
12:07, I graduated in four years with a good gpa and partied my ass off. Burbif you'd rather sit around and smoke dope do your damn thing, but don't criticize me for not being lazy.
yeah, in this age of free texts there is no excuse for not using proper spelling, punctuation and grammar.. except perhaps the sorry state of the education system in some cases.
OP, the periods go inside of quotation marks at the end of a sentence. Also, don't begin sentences with "and." If you're going to be a grammar Nazi, be a good one.
12:03, I don't like standed motorists; they are usually poor and I don't like the poor. Also, proofread your posts so you don't look like an ass as you attempt to call others out.
You people need to get a life!! This is a retarded text used to amuse a retarded audience, thanks for playing!!
Now that I know your/you're pisses people off so much, I may just switch them to fuck with you all!!! MWHAHAHAHA
To little man who called her a frigid fucking
cunt...expected from the possessor of a needle
dick who only knows Mrs. Hand and her four
daughters! Shithead!!!
you're all stupid. the example isn't quoting anything. the QUOTATION MARKS are used correctly. learn some punctuation before you become the stupid asshole that fails at correcting someone. go to he'll. or school.
I teach remedial high school English. I fight this battle every day with my kids who are low-functioning. If the person to whom you are referring is not slow and just effin' stupid, rock on OP.
It's about time someone shouted, "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it any more!" about the incorrect grammar and the butchering of the English language! My pet peeve is saying, "me and blah blah". Blah blah is first, moron! and it's not "me" it's "I". sheesh!
And 11:10 - try 'impossible to glean your meaning' if you're trying to correct other people's grammar outside your own ability it looks bad if you fuck up...
Omg, so funny! My older sister used to get mad at me all the time for texting "your" instead of "you're" and now it's one of my biggest pet peeves. I love the examples you gave though, hilarious!
I bet that the ppl bitching are the ppl noboby likesto hangout with. English is probably your only disipline and I would like to see you try math or chemistry.
Okay... okay... okay
Just a little pinprick
There'll be no more aaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick
Now can you stand up... stand up... stand up?
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go
Also a huge pet peeve of mine. However, now that I started teaching English as a foreign language I'm a little more laid back about it. Native speakers have no excuse, but foreigners taking an English class do.
As if this is the most talked about post on TFLN. Keep refreshing the screen guys, maybe somebody has something new to say about grammar!!! Fucking pathetic.
'to' and 'too'
really? you cant add that extra o? its a three letter fucking word! i let contractions go cause i live in texas, but if you arent smart enough to distinguish between to and too i will shank your ass.
Citizens of the US should have to take an intelligence test in order to vote for our President. Including the correct usage of "Your, You're - Their, There, They're -and To, Too." We might be in a better situation right now.
12:07 is a little rich bitch. But hey they shit on the "poor" and go home to their cheating wives. I wasn't trying to show anyone up. I hope you have a happy atressful life where your wife and kids hate you.
11:43. And you get how much pussy? Your on ass and who fucking cares about other ppl grammar. Your "trying" to show how some ppl in society are "stupid" but seriously. If you really want to help pull off the road and help a stalled car.
Grammar = proper syntax, punctuation, etc.
Grammer = your grandmother, as in: "boy where's yer grammer at" (envision it said by a dumb hick and it makes sense).
It's not that others are dumb/ poor priorities; they are just enjoying their young lives. Not all want to rush school and get a "real" job. Sit back, pull that stick out of your ass and watch the sun rise and set with a fatty in your mouth (not a fat person but a blunt)
haha that's amazing. Or thats amazing? Not sure.
Just kidding.
lol.
I'm in college and yesterday my English teacher starting teaching us what apostrophes are. Are you kidding me.
I LOVE this one, but I'm pissed off by the fact that most people are assuming it is a guy writing to a girl. GUYS ARE STUPID, TOO! A hell of a lot of people, in general, are stupid lately. The world needs to brush up on grammar and general knowledge.
As if this is the most talked about posting on TFLN. Keep refreshing the screen guys, maybe somebody else has something to say about grammar... pathetic.
It's pretty hilarious that we have all learned proper English/grammar since the first grade, and people still get there, their, and they're wrong. Also then and than, also to, two and too. \nOh! I absolutely hate it when people say "I seen you today!" it's I saw you today!
Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave, but don't leave me
Look around
Choose your own ground
Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be
How can u even consider OP to be legend?!? What makes u think he wants to sleep with you after that shit? Personally, if you can't text message someone with abbreviations then WTF do we txt for
Yes! I can't stand it when people don't know how to use such a simple part of the English language. Go back to school or stop talking to me. YOUR choice!
who cares, you is spelled you not u but, for time, space and convenience sake it is acceptable. If you can understand it through context and is only used in informal conversation I believe it is perfectly fine.
2:49, the British only put punctuation within quotes if it was part of the thing being quoted. I think it makes more sense that way, and apparently the OP does too.
You may wish to exercise proper punctuation when you go off on someone for their grammar. The period goes within the parentheses, as in "you're not correct."
The fact is, just as people sometimes judge each other by their appearances in face-to-face interactions, people sometimes judge each other by their use of language (face-to-face or otherwise). I do both, and think the OP kicks butt.
