Dumb stuff I've seen lately

Dumb stuff I’ve seen lately

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

I was going through the pictures on my phone’s storage card and came across this picture of a simply horrible ad. My hunch, which I’ve talked about before (here, and here), is that they purposely picked this ridiculous picture to capture my attention (which it did). The problem with this ad is, if I wasn’t […]

The difference between spelling and grammar mistakes

The difference between spelling and grammar mistakes

Monday, May 11th, 2009

Some people think when a word is spelled correctly but used incorrectly, that is a spelling mistake. I disagree. If a person intended to use a different word, but through a spelling misstep used another word which happens to be spelled correctly, that is a grammar mistake my friend.

Some make me angry as I spout off about how tolerant of mediocrity this country is becoming… but some make me just straight up laugh, like this one: Other signs down right scare me. I cross the Canadian border occasionally and the total […]

An argument over grammar and semantics - When it really matters

An argument over grammar and semantics – When it really matters

Monday, February 18th, 2008

One of my pet peeves is bad grammar. In particular, I hate the use of the term “irregardless”, and I hate even more that this word is now accepted by spell checking mechanisms as a real word. It’s not a fucking word. Regarded and regardless are words. Saying irregardless is a combination of irrespective and […]
