Wonder if you can buy one of those as a pet anywhere? I want one.

It just... isn't the same. I will now carry around my laptop with that page open, waiting for opportunities to use it. |

LOL, oh man, that's like my childhood right there.
The Berenstain Bears, not the getting kicked in the BONE part.

What is up with these? I've been seeing them all over. They're not even remotely funny, nor will they change anything. Not even "it's funny cause it's true" applies.

That's true, it is my opinion, I just forgot opinion counts for nothing here.

Fantastic rant. We need more people standing up for grammar like this.

They're called English majors. On the internet, they go by the name "grammar Nazis." Their existence seems noble, but beneath that is wretched contempt. It's rather adorable.
In my opinion, though, there is a point in which well-meaning correction becomes condescending pedantry. Sometimes confusing "you're" for "your" is just an honest typo. I think it's also pretty unreasonable not to consider age and those who speak English as a second language. In the worst case, such pedantry becomes just another way in which people confuse how they think the world should be for what it is, treating language as though it were a science to the point of exulting clarity over modes of expression.

There existence seems noble... Shine on you crazy diamond. Really dude? You're saying these rules are just "too hard" for some people? The single letter abbreviations of three letter words is nigh inexcusable, unless there is a pressing need for time. "Your" and "you're", "there, their, they're", or whatever else is not rocket science. Calling it "condescending pedantry" is condescending in itself, as if the subject of English is just too hard for some people, and we must accept that their inferior minds cannot grasp these fine nuances like scholars such as ourselves. No, these are simple rules, and people who cannot follow them should be derided. Saying otherwise is coddling sloth and illiteracy. That's true, it is my opinion, I just forgot my opinion counts for nothing here. Fixed that for you, and don't you forget that. |
