INCOMING RANT

[rocknload]

You know what's better about speaking in grammatically correct English? JACK FUCKING SHIT. That's right! There is absolutely nothing better about the language you learn to speak in school and in fact, most of those rules were totally arbitrarily decided on a few hundred years ago to make our written language more closely resemble Latin, which makes no sense at all. It makes about as much sense as Japanese being written with freaking Chinese character, which makes no sense at all! But that's another rant. There's nothing wrong with the way the youth of today speak. If it annoys you, that's actually more due to your class bias or other prejudices than anything else! Also? Text message abbreviations and other Internet slang are exactly as legitimate as formal written English. It's true!

ENGLISH IS IN NO DANGER

A DIALECT IS NEVER A "WRONG" OR "BAD" WAY TO SPEAK

AN EDUCATION DOES NOT MAKE YOU SMARTER

AND THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH SAYING "I COULD CARE LESS"

Not my opinions! This is science. If you disagree with me, you are TOTALLY REALLY SUPER DOUBLE-PLUS WRONG WRONG WROOOOOOONG.

this may have been brought to you by a class i just got out of. maybe.

I... think I love you for this. Because as much as it bugs me when people spell "breathe" as "breath" and other things like that, I think the SERIOUS BUSINESS people are starting to get on my nerves even more. :/

Sorry, saying "I could care less" will bother me forever. I figure I pay my dues to science on that one by wanting to stick my hands into cow intestines.

THIS OH MY GOD

While I agree with you on the rest, "I could care less" is just wrong. That means the opposite of what the person is trying to say, and they're just fucking up the phrase out of ignorance.

SORRY BB

THANK YOU FOR VALIDATING MY PURSUITS. Of being grammatically incorrect. Active, active pursuits.

Text message abbreviations are often annoying, actually. But other than that, trufax.
