This reads like the instruction manual for some speakers I purchased on Alibaba. It’s like word Scrabble, where you must rearrange the words mentally to glean the meaning. Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

Even more irritating to me is the overuse (if there is such a thing) of "noise words:" "You know," "uh," "like," "right?" and that variety of filler. A once-in-a-while slip I can tolerate. Night before last I was out having dinner at a casual eatery in Chicago. Seated a couple of tables away from me, speaking in a volume that could be heard all over the dining area, were two post-pubescent girls engaged in a nonstop verbal barrage. It seemed like every other word out of their mouths was "like." "He's like, cool, like I think that's why, like, the other girls are, like, attracted to him." I thought my ears were going to bleed. You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless. NRA Benefactor/Patriot Member | |||

When they've grown up communicating by texting emojis and phonetic abbreviated words there is no grammar for them to worry about.  Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club! USN (RET), COTEP #192 | |||

Reminds me of speech class in high school, or college, can't recall. Had to give a speech on a topic of your choosing. But, every filler word (predominantly 'uh' and 'like') deducted a point from your overall score. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

The older I've gotten, the more I appreciate mother's drilling the use of proper grammar into our thick, dago skulls...  (sorry for the language...copied from interwebs)  "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

When in doubt about a sentence such as "This is for my wife and I.", just think to yourself, "This is for I.” Much more obvious that it should be "This is for me.” Then "This is for my wife and me." Serious about crackers | |||

That's exactly the way I was taught to do it. Make sentence/statement about you, then add any others to it. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

I work in a blue collar environment. Almost everybody there uses past-perfect without the helper, and when they do use past-simple, they conjugate it incorrectly. “We was going to pickup the load, but then I seen the tire was flat.” Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

Newspapers and publishing houses used to be sticklers for grammar. Now no one has copy editors or proofreaders. They depend on spell-check or grammar programs only. Those programs suck to put it bluntly. It's cheaper than paying for editors or proofreaders. It gives me a headache to read the paper today. Books are getting nearly as bad.

One does not "hoe a road", you "hoe a row in the garden or field". Therefore is the expression not "tough row to hoe"? __________________________________________________ If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit! Sigs Owned - A Bunch | |||
