Literally

[Craig234]

Maybe you should learn to use the english language correctly










j/k - I didn't read past the first few sentences

Points for honesty.

 

[ImpulsE69]

what grinds my gears is when people say "you know" or "honestly" after every other word when talking to you.

I'm guilty of that some times, but I think it's a regional thing.

or as someone else pointed out awhile ago, starting every sentence with "So.."

Douchebag.

Maybe autistic. Should see his threads in dc.

I'll pass, don't like that place.

 

[TheSlamma]

You didn't say "like" enough in that rant

Instructions unclear. Wang figuratively stuck in CD-ROM drive. Request assistance.

I laughed

"This Saturday" means the next Saturday.

"Next Saturday" means the Saturday AFTER this Saturday, otherwise the person should be expected to say "This Saturday".

You're everything that is wrong with the world.

Next means...next. The next one.

I hate people who get confusing with that shit because they don't understand that 'this Saturday' is a nonsensical phrase, barring that it actually IS Saturday, or they're pointing to a date on a calender or something.

This is what I mean about lazy language. When people say 'This Saturday' what they really mean to say is 'This coming Saturday' but they got lazy and left an important word out of the sentence. When they say 'Next Saturday' they of course mean 'The Saturday after next' but once again were too lazy to say a full sentence and abbreviated an already abbreviated sentence to the point of incoherence.

Most people who use literally "wrong" are just using it as sarcasm, which is fine.

"I literally could eat a horse! lol" Nothing wrong with that... it's called sarcasm.

*sigh* No, that is not sarcasm, that is hyperbole. How can you to use it correctly when you don't even know what it is?

I blame radio/tv/marketing for this problem. They never use the word "next" correctly. Next song up is 'Boil My Toaster' and an hour later, after 10 other songs, they finally play it.

*sigh* It is adderall.

Who cares? No one.

 

[gorcorps]

*sigh* It is adderall.

It's a proper noun, so actually it's Adderall

 

[SMOGZINN]

Who cares? No one.

Obviously at least 3 people care. Otherwise no one would have posted it.

It's a proper noun, so actually it's Adderall

I stand corrected. Good job.

 

[phucheneh]

Who cares? No one.

Actually, those of us that passed middle school English classes would probably feel pretty embarrassed to not know the difference...

And it's already hyperbole before you add 'literally.' Saying that adding 'literally' to a hyperbolic phrase turns it into sarcasm makes you appear to be literally fucking retarded.
