Nebraska: Failing at sarcasm and grammar since forever.

…and I probably won’t remember to use this consitantly. Yvonne and I have the same layout which leads me to believe that most default tumblr layouts are seriously lacking.

I really don’t understand the point of these. At all.

Don’t worry, at first, you won’t remember to use it consistantly, and you won’t really understand it. Then, you’ll start following people and blogs that you can’t really find elsewhere, making tumblr basically a necesity. Yes, this has happened to me.

But will you remember to use it consistently? And will it become a necessity?

BOOM! ROASTED!

Your grammar may be good, Lopez, but your spelling could use a little work. You perfect that and you’ll be swimming in ladies.

I got a girl to want to have sex with me because of my grammar skills. I do believe I win.

*have gotten

Not really, I just wanted to try to correct you so then maybe she would want to have sex with me. But alas, your grammar was impeccable!

I absolutely hate text-ese. If you want to disregard capitalization and punctuation, that’s fine, but sending a message like the one above gives the impression that you have the mental capacity of a twelve-year-old girl. I bring this up because I just received that exact message from a friend of mine. A person I respect. A person who double-majored in computer engineering and MIS, graduated with honors, and is currently attending the London School of Economics. Come on, man… have a little self-respect.

If I ever received that text from a friend, I would immediately cut off all contact with them. Hell, I may even do it for a your/you’re mistake.

Edit: I find myself losing respect for Facebook friends when one of their Facebook friends comments on their status and makes a grammar mistake.

I think I need some serious help.

When someone writes “should of”.  ADRLWEOIGNASDLKG- that was me popping a blood vessel in my eye.

Also, “ur”. No!!!!! No NO NO.  I’d rather see someone lazily type your when they mean you’re than see ur.

I’m definitely not one for the grammar nazi practices. I actually have zero clue what most of the rules are and I’m a little embarrassed by that since I consider myself an educated and intelligent woman.  However these types of simple things make me cringe, quite literally.

The Tumblr Grammar Police are out in force lately…

And I’m with you on the “ur” thing. How hard is it to type “u r”?!

The main reason I hate listening to the radio isn’t the crappy music, inane banter, or most of the ads, it’s actually one ad in particular: the Gatorade G2 commercial. It repeatedly says the phrase “less calories for more athletes”. If you can’t spot what’s wrong with this phrase, I might hate you as well. JK, but not really…

Anyway, it’s “FEWER calories…” not “less calories.” Less refer to mass nouns that really aren’t quantifiable with numbers. Fewer refers to things that can be individually counted, like say, calories. So every time I hear that commercial, I just want to scream “It’s FEWER you FUCKING MORONS” and never buy Gatorade G2 ever again, but I restrain myself because I don’t want my co-workers to know I’m crazy, and I really like Gatorade G2.
