Oh, they’re just looking for an escape goat.

Maybe our hatred of poor grammar will be the glue that unites this country . . . Anyone read what the libs had to say about Obama and sentence structure yesterday? Check out Huff Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/andy-borowitz/obamas-use-of-complete-se_b_144642.html

I read in an AP-Obama (formerly AP) article a couple of days back, forget which, where it said " he should have went.."

Duh, everyone nows it's "he should of went.."

[Cheburashka]

Yep, I just got through devouring a Diamondback for brunch.

I myself don't like to eat diamondbacks. It's so hard to get them into the bun.

“Another effect of smoking is it may give you cancer of the thought.”

That might be correct. Depends on what you're smoking ;-)

[aculeus]

Grammar?

Whom cares?

[informavoracious]

It’s okay, schools that dropped teaching Latin and Greek because they were “too hard” are now offering Arabic.

Oh com’eon, gifme a little creddick, will’ya.

[sodpoodle]

Wonder why the comments feature was closed. Interesting...

Does the new standard of sentence structure include a requisite number of “uhms and ahs”...or is a teleprompter mandatory?

Again the libs are confusing being Commander-in-Chief with having a chatterbox-in-charge.

There’s a practical limit to how much neutering one person can receive. It’s pretty much a one-shot deal, as far as I know. But I’m not a Doctor.

[autumnraine]

They did have a way with words, didn’t they?

[driftless2]

Well, just let me let loose with what I think about this subject. We are loosing the ability to read and think clearly. Looosing this ability means loooosing the ability to conduct oneself in educated circles where you can looooose you mind while loooooosing the ability to speak well. Who are these looooooosers, and why are they loooooooosing all this awful spelling on us? Furthermore let just say one more thing, YOU LOSERS STOP SPELLING LOSE WITH TWO Os INSTEAD OF ONE!!!

[Still Thinking]

Sigh.

Bringing to mind the eternal question: Nature or neuter?

[CodeToad]

Colleges are nothing but trade schools. They do not educate.

[Tax-chick]

LOL!

[SunkenCiv]

seems like good time and place for makin' my own fun. ;')

>I myself don’t like to eat diamondbacks. It’s so hard to get them into the bun.

So then, what’s your snake of choice?

"Well, I’m usually exercising in a warm climax too, but it ain’t jogging I’m doing."

Yep....that's how I got pulled over for erotic driving ;-)
