Plenty of other common language errors to correct. Many clever memes are diluted by faulty clarity, grammar, idiom, spelling, syntax, & usage.

he heh...heh he..[Beevis and Butthead laff]

I think you kinda missed the whole point of memes. I haz the sadz for you and all the other grammar nazis.

I don’t think of myself as a “grammar nazi”, just “Alt Write”

Moar slippery language slide . . .

blu: "I think you kinda missed the whole point of memes. I haz the sadz for you and all the other grammar nazis."

——

I "get" memes. Some are brilliant; others too obscure.
Some are marred by obvious sloppy text that discredits the artist's intelligence.

I "get" yer kewl neologisms, too.

Heh, heh, heh . . . you wrote "nazis." Godwin's Law.
I will take that as a compliment anyway.
The real [Azov neo-]nazis are were a threat to Pervomaysk.

Gasshog & Oratam, ThankQ for the Suhthurn drawly reference guides.

Chuckster / "The faster things change, the faster things change."

Here at the Lab, we would describe that language [d]evolution as, the faster position changes [that's velocity], the faster the velocity changes [that's acceleration].

For the record, the first derivative of acceleration = the third derivative of position, and is called jerk. Seriously.
Nothing personal to anyone; just a fact.
X –> dX/dt –> dV/dt –> dA/dt.

One moar frequent error: |affect / effect|.
Affect is a verb. Effect is usually a noun.

blu, There's a reason Suhthurn drawly sad music is called the blues; it's depressing.

ThankQall y'all fer joinin' the discussion.
[Why? Was it comin' apart?]
