Shared on Sat, 01/10/2009 - 06:39I am certainly not a professor of English and I don't expect any of you to be either BUT, for God's sake get a hold of some very basic rules of English...please. I ask this because there are days where I just want to cut my eyes right out of my head and repeatedly stab my brain with a rusty knife because of the stupidity I bare witness to while out in public.
For instance, while at my local laundromat I read the sign posted above the dryers telling me that "Your responsible for your clothes." This wasn't a handwritten sign. This was a professional, colorful and more-than-likely expensive sign in a place of business...albeit with a BIG FUCKING GRAMMATICAL ERROR. Maybe I shouldn't be too upset, the cliental that I regretfully must also do laundry with probably can't even read the sign anyway; never mind figure out that it's grammatically incorrect. I'm sure they are nice people but they haven't in a lifetime of living learned the functionality and usefulness of a toothbrush, why should I think they can read? Jesus, am I beginning to sound like a laundromat elitist? Good God, I'm sinking low.
(If you haven't figured out why I'm upset about said sign, please review a third grade elementary text. *hint* Only one of the two "your"s in the statement is correct.)
Another instance of me wishing I wasn't of the same genetic code as some other humans was when I saw a sign on a car that said "Four Sale". I'm serious....dead serious, I am not fucking kidding, it said "Four Sale" I debated on calling the manager to inquire when the "Three Sale" had ended.
God help us. The movie "Idiocracy" may be an accurate prediction of our sad and inglorious future.
Eh, what am I bitching about? Spelling doesn't make me money. I guess I'm the idiot.
-Cheers!
