WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

Craigslist, I had actually given up on you. I stopped reading you for a long time - over a month AT LEAST. Then, I happen to check you, and out of nowhere, you have THESE?

The only reason I've been hanging out with you lately... - m4w - 23 (Toronto)

Seems like the public board of education failed who...

A person who cannot GET to the point.

You must be a wanna be prof or teacher, and you can, just go back to school. U know will learn the point................

Summarize people make mistakes, its is those who need to point out mistakes, that never love.

I MEAN WHAT A CATCH< PLEASE CAN I HAVE A GUY WHO POINTS OUT EVERY MISTAKE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU WROTE A LOT:


So it appears our public school system has failed most of you completely. Take that up with them. Please.

A few things anyone of age to possess an internet connection should know:

A lot - it's two words. Someone peppered a post earlier today with 'allot' and I wanted to scream. Scream: 'You are a moron, fuck off' to be exact. And while using it in way to highlight that he 'has allot to offer' was totally hilarious, I felt sorry for this person because no, he does not have a lot to offer. Anybody. I can think quite highly of anyone until they write alot. Then it's over. Allot was just too much for even me to take. Congratulate yourself Mr. Allot, you prompted all this! You’re the shitty little beating of the not-so-proverbial butterfly wings that ultimately caused this post to be written!!

Too - Try to remember this can be used in place of 'as well'. Wrong Usage: "I'm a fucking retard and I'm going too the store." Correct: "My atrocious butchering of the English language and lack of hygiene caused someone I know to kill themselves too. "

There - indicates a place generally. Usage (in reference to CL MC) "I'm not going to post there anymore as some guy with too much time on his hands chastised me for not knowing the difference between there, their and they're today. I'm going to hang myself now and mention him in my suicide letter. That'll teach him!!"

Their - This indicates possession. Usage: "Their house is for sale. After they found out a mouth breather lived next door who didn’t know the difference between there, their and they're they listed it right away."

They're - This is a contraction of 'they are'. I'm not going to explain that further.

The point folks: If you don’t know, just don’t use it. Stop looking like a complete idiot: stick to words you'd find beside a picture of Dick and Jane or Mr. Mugs ok? Or maybe go back and read both collections in their entirety. Language can be difficult. Avoid overstepping your limited intelligence and broadcasting said limitations at the same time as much as you can. Especially in a place you're attempting to meet men and women through. You know how you try to look good when you go outside? (Look who I'm talking to here....) Well try the same thing with the words you use in public places. People will hate you less, critique you less, and who knows, maybe that hot asian chick you couldn’t find the nuts to talk to at the Eaton Centre might just write you back because you don’t appear (on the surface) to have left school in the third grade. And then you're totally free to send her pics of your cock until she changes her email address in frustration. Everybody wins!!

Well that's today's lesson. In our next installment we'll discuss 'its' and 'it's', how to properly ride the TTC and collar popping. I'm here to help,

The Last Bastion.

(and I know a post about spelling / usage begs for my syntax to be closely examined; should you find grammatical or spelling errors within this post, smile to yourself, feel that well-deserved sense of superiority wash over you, and then don’t email me about it. It’s your secret treasure now!)
