You don't really talk like, "I seen..." do you?? I mean, do you also say, "I brung a sandwich for lunch"? "I aksed the teacher a question"? "I went to check out books at the liberry"? I mean, come on. Is there something about, "I SAW the tv ad" that you find too difficult? It should be easier: it has fewer letters! -Jeffrey
Perhaps not. I just get really really frustrated and disappointed when I see the average caliber of the language skills people use here. It's REALLY depressing how they write as though they have no decent education at all... I'm sorry. It's just how it makes me feel. So I get urges to try to ... I guess, rub people's faces in it and get them to CARE a bit how they present themselves via how they write. If a person would not go out into the public wearing pants with shit stains on the ass, piss stains on the front, a shirt that was worn four days straight and never washed, not brush their teeth or shower and wash their hair... why would they present the grammatical equivalent for all to see? How about some concern for whether people think you're (intellectually) a total SLOB? I'm sorry, Novarys, I didn't mean to hijack your thread... -Jeffrey
Novarys, your sig photo totally reminds me of the cover picture from the movie 2010 You know, the alien space baby thing superimposed on a planet? The images are so similar! When I see your pic out of the corner of my eye, that's what it tells my brain I'm seeing... it's weird. -Jeffrey
Yep, sad. As in, I weep for the state of education in this country. P.S. Where's the apostrophe you should have put in "let's"? :$ -Jeffrey
well, perhaps using proper grammar isnt all that important to other people. either way you say your words, you're still getting your point across, correct? whether i say "i aint got none" or " i don't have any"....you still undertand what i was trying to convey. maybe in the grand scheme of things, knowing how to pronounce your words and know how to spell, really isnt the top priority of things to some. it really depends on how uptight you are. but, this is my opinon. so....yah.
Okay, here it is. Now, on second thought, your pic doesn't look much like it. I guess it only looked like what I thought I remembered the poster looked like. Blue skies, -Jeffrey
I can't imagine how they coax a model like that grandma lady to do that sort of a pose, for any reason. Doesn't it seem like it would be really weird to have a photographer, or an ad agency, or whatever, audition models for that pic, and say, "Hi, Mrs. Smith, for this picture, we'd like you to put on an angry scowl, and give the middle finger like you're telling someone to go fuck themselves!" -Jeffrey
Thank GOD! I mean, I guess it's in the shadow/light play on the faces, and the fact that they're in profile. Plus, I think there may have been other posters at the time that showed the face up high looking down... Thanks for making me feel like I'm not crazy. -Jeffrey
well you're a lucky man to have such a um natural beauty and feisty young bird as your lover. im so jelous of her
