"your" not smart (aka selective eugenics)
well, its official...you shouldn't have children
what i am talking about is the overwhelming number of people who use "your" instead of you're...and no im not talking about an occasional typo. i am talking about college-educated people who cannot get a simple grammatical concept that is generally conveyed around the 5th grade (or in utero to badasses like us)
i get this "your" thing in email form, posters, IMs, everything - is it really that difficult? i realize this is a pet peeve of mine, but i feel justified in ranting about it b/c its such an easy way to make yourself look less-than-educated. frankly, its just one small step from the "ur" type teen talk, and we know only 13-year old sluts and uneducated pedophiles use that language (not that there's anything wrong with that)
theyre/there/their you go, depending on how retarded you are today. im too lazy right now, but do yourself a favor and look up selective eugenics on wikipedia (hint: it relates to earlier posts and how certain people should not be allowed to procreate...and not in the aryan/selective, superior race sort of way, but that would be spectacular if anyone wants to petition for it)
what are "youre" thoughts?
hey, I'm fully w/u on this 1. I think ur totally on 2 something here. (not so much the "your/you're" issue, but moreso the "cultural cleansing" thing. I like it. I love it. I want some more of it?? I think it's something I could get behind... again)
Actually, I did want 2 say a little something about ur beef. It wasn't really something I would have been 2 angry about b4, but now that u've brought it out in 2 the open; I concur, doctor.
I would submit 2 u, that people (if u want 2 call them that) substitute the "ur" b cuz they r unsure about which form of "your[you're]" 2 use. When in doubt, just put "ur". How do u feel about that? And, honestly, I would almost prefer that I get the "ur" instead of the wrong form of "your[you're]", wouldn't u? At least that way we can all maintain the illusion that ur intelligent; just trying to save time. If u come @ me w/the wrong form of "your[you're]" then not only are u NOT trying 2 save time, but also ur a lunatic &, most likely, some sort of crime against nature.
And no, it will never get old; correcting "those" people. It's a pleasure, really. And since we all know that life is just 1 big pleasure grab; u would be remiss 2 pass up an opportunity 4 some.
