Boba Rhett Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Ehehehe, Nice video and a fairly well rounded criteria! I knew my wife was the one for me when one of the first times I talked to her she said she liked discussing weird history myths, "Like how Catherine the Great had sex with a horse". I swear I saw stars. This story was of course left out of any speeches at our wedding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamqd Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Thats funny, but I'm not sure someone who puts such emphasis on Grammar when deciding who is relationship material is really the Girl for me... I imagine having to win a spelling bee in order to get a good night kiss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urluckyday Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I HATE when people spell words like that incorrectly. "Definately" and "Loose" just make me cringe on sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tysyacha Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 adamqd, If you win MY spelling bee, you'll definItely get more than just a good-night kiss. Good communication and clear expression attract me more than 6-pack abs and nice...eyes. (I'm far more drawn to brains than brawn. If that makes me weird, then move right on!) urluckyday, What about "looser/loosers"? How many times have you seen THOSE monstrosities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Avlectus Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Dozer has a sad. Girl give Dozer "the look". Dozer pick up girl. Dozer gets "home run". Dozer smoke cigar in bed afterwards. Girl gets call on cell phone. Call is boyfriend she gave no hint to Dozer about cheating on. Girl give boyfriend a runaround story that is complete BS. Girl have no remorse when hang up. This happen 3 more times. Dozer cynical and feel like soul empty, and whore at same time. "Like how Catherine the Great had sex with a horse". Mmmmust.....nnnnot.....fff-ffff--FAP! Damn you Rhett! You know perfectly well this kind of stuff tempts me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igyman Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Awesome video. English might not be my native language, but it still hurts my brain to see people, especially native English speakers, make such idiotic spelling mistakes, so I agree with the message of the video 100%.

Pavlos Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I HATE when people spell words like that incorrectly. "Definately" and "Loose" just make me cringe on sight. 'Loose' is a word, just not the same one as 'lose'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Rrudolf Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 As a non-native English speaker I ask you native speakers... no, I beg you! Please use proper words and proper spelling! There is nothing more frustrating than (or 'then'? ) reading something with grammar errors and misspellings. I then have to check the word in dictionary, check if it makes any sense in the sentence and if not check again if the whole sentence is maybe phrasal verb or something like it. And after all this it appears that it was written by some 'looser' who doesn't know his own language Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Avlectus Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 @tsy: Reference to myself in the 3rd person. I should have known the bar scene was full of cheaters. Though the ones I've had relationships with weren't all that much better. I try not to let it affect me too much, though. I will say this: Disappearing down the proverbial rabbit hole ain't all it's cracked up to be, even if you do climb back out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooooo are you sayin' that you aren't looking for "The Situation" as your man? I use a lot of slang, and intentional misspellings when typing on more personal forums(ie HERE and Facebook). BUT the thing that drives me batty is when people use "2" and "U" or other IM/text shorthand on non-IM/text messaging sites. I mean, Facebook is full of people who set their status to something along the lines of "Off 2 skl 2 b teached" @Boba: Um... What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tysyacha Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 adamqd, Manservant, eh? I might be able to use one, and would most certainly enjoy one! If you're really in Tokyo, that might not work, though, because I'm in the U.S. By the way, you have humbled my haughty grammarian's heart by putting Japanese in your avatar. Even I don't know what it says, or how to draw the characters. Would you please enlighten me? GTA:SWcity, What an incomparable travesty! Were I in your shoes, I would feel the same way. If the Buddhist views on karma are true, I hope the REAL whore got what she deserved!!! And, on my last trip down the proverbial "rabbit hole", I didn't score a "home run", no, but I had my reservations that the guy I was interested in was a charlatan. Dig me? Everyone, I wrote a story in the CEC that makes fun of this whole (mostly American) cultural phenomenon of "nt cring hw 2 spel R rite nemore." When I wrote it, I had to work very hard to IGNORE the rules of grammar and spelling that had been drummed into my head since childhood. My parents were both teachers, and there was no way that they'd EVER let my sister or me use incorrect grammar. My sister received the worst of it, though, because she more commonly used "me" as a sentence subject than I did: "Me and Julie went to the store." I cringed and felt sorry for her because she couldn't continue the story until she had corrected her mistake. Sometimes I said that, too. By the way, does anyone know anyone who says, "It is I"? OH, HELL NO!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tysyacha Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 "It is I" who stand corrected. Does anyone remember the 1980's Sesame Street sketch about a pushy, singing purple rabbit named Captain Vegetable? He was trying to get the Muppet kids to chomp on carrots and celery instead of whatever they fancied (candy and spaghetti), like so: (This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.) I hated Captain Vegetable deep down inside, though I laughed at him. He ruined the Muppet kids' fun, and I liked it when they insulted him.

Tommycat Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 "It is I" who stand corrected. hmmm... Sounds a bit like someone corrected your assumption. Also, wouldn't that be "stands," as in you are presently the one who stands corrected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jerk store called for more of me, yes. So in a way I kinda got what I deserved as well. I knew that if I didn't stop, though, something worse was surely waiting. Yeah I dig. Unfortunately, that's a common thing. It takes risk and that's the (beginning) price you might have to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
