Nothing grates on my nerves more than people not knowing how to use elementary level English, misuse of words, and the annihilation of spelling. I'm not talking about your standard shortcuts, either. I'm talking about shit that gets fucked up all the time that screams "Hey, I flunked out of 3rd grade, but they gave me a high school diploma anyway." I get it - English class was a snooze, but for the sake of sanity don't advertise being a half-wit.
For example:
Bold-faced lie. Its not a ball-face lie. Unless you are trying to enhance the gravity of the lie by throwing balls on a face, I'm not sure that's the correct avenue to go. It's bold-faced lie. As in - a lie in bold typeface. An obvious lie. For fucks sake people, get it right.
"Loose" - it rhymes with noose & goose but DOES NOT MEAN the opposite of win. I see this shit all the fuckin time on posts. (i.e. I'm gonna loose more sleep tonight). NO YOU'RE NOT. "Loose" means 'not tight', for fuck's sake. (yes - apostrophe s, as it the fuck owns its sake). A whore is "loose", and I suggest you don't ever use that word referring to yourself in any manner - unless you're a slut. LOSE - to not win, to be unable to find something, etc.It's basically lost - drop the t & add the e. ONE FUCKING O. It's not that difficult people.
You're/Your/ & There/They're/Their are going to drive me to an early grave. Apparently the trifecta of options is too much for people to handle. So let me break it down:
NEARLY EVERY TIME THERE IS AN APOSTROPHE IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, IT IS IN REPLACEMENT OF A LETTER. So.... If you are saying 'you are' or 'they are' it would be you're or they're. If something belongs to them it's theirs - if it belongs to you it's yours. If its not here, add a 't' and it's there.
I don't give a shit if you're a Democrat or a Republican, you should still know how to spell the name of our Commander-In-Chief. Apparently upgrading from a 4-letter last name (Bush) to a 5-letter one has thrown the population for a loop. Some have decided to make our first African-American president Irish by inserting a random apostrophe in his name. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS? O'BAMA? REALLY? It's 5 letters - stop trying to get fancy for crying out loud.
GRATEFUL: Its not greatful, you ingrate. Think gratitude. And - not to confuse - but the same applies for ungrateful. It's not ungreatful.
of course/coarse: Course = something you take in school, "of course" if you agree, and coarse is just thick. Corse is NOT an option.
By/Buy/Bye - By - near to or next to something
BUY - to purchase
Bye - short for goodbye
To/Too/Two: To - from here to there, the catchall for to
Too - if you've had tooooooooo much of something, you need an extra o, also means also - as in 'I love you too'
Two - the number between 1 & 3. There are 2 V's in the W that goes into two.
Eye spose we culd jus bern tha dikshunary an spel evrything funetticly. Butt than haff tha tyme yoo mite knot no whut peeple wur akshully sayne.

I seriously worry about the future of this nation and am hoping to be dead and gone by the time this generation of fuckwits takes over. If I'm not dead by then, the stupidity just might kill me.
*this post will be updated on an ongoing basis as more fuckery & tomfoolery is discovered.
