Your in-laws tell me you're fat on Tuesdays and skinny on Wednesdays--UR? Hell I didn't know. There are too many others out there that are either fat all week or skinny all month. Their bodies just know they're either fat or skinny.
Now let's talk about the multiple apostrophes' curviest nature shall we?
ROTFL!
Not too bad for a Masters' in Creative Writing--in this day in age. Especially given all the politics and no teaching of skills even at higher level education. Now my grammar. Hell I admit to being in and out of even caring many days. Guilty as charged there. LOL.
No, purposefully moving away from phonics and toward word memorization is eroding our reading and writing skills.
Fiennes is a pompous twit.
That said, he happens to be right in this instance.
Stuffy English Actor Alert.
P.S.: Ralph (as in Kramden, not “Rafe” as in stuffy English English), you really sucked in Oedipus Rex.
C'mon now, that's every bit as funny as any "black" name, I've heard.
I wonder if Ralphie got beat up a lot as a kid?
I used to watch his movies just to look at him. LOL
> full name Ralph Nathaniel Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes

That being said, I agree with Ralph Fiennes (who is still handsome without that horrible beard, CaptainK). Another irritating result of Twitter is the increasing number of people who no longer capitalize words including their own names. ["Screen names are not included in this lamentation." - arasina]
No he isn’t. Twitter is a symptom, not the disease. People aren’t becoming stupid and lazy because Twitter is popular. Twitter is popular because people are increasingly stupid and lazy.
Folks here might be interested in the FR Word of the Day posts. I’m on the ping list. There’s a new word each morning. I enjoy it quite a bit. Here’s yesterday’s post:

It didn’t work entirely but it was so highly ambitious though. It commands respect.
Children who grow up with twitter and texting are certainly being affected by it.
You left off the “r.”
That’s because their parents allow it. It’s de-evolution at work. Our culture is in decline. But that’s not Twitter’s fault. Twitter is just a sign of the times. In short, Twitter isn’t creating the stupid—it’s catering to the stupid.
I just call him "Lord Voldemort."
I saw him do Hamlet when he looked like the younger photo. I hope the beard comes off.
He’s playing Prospero in “The Tempest” in the West End, hence the beard. Yes, I’d like to see the beard come off...along with the pants, shirt, etc...;-)
