a little English lesson...

Dear morons of the Internet:

I have a wonderful holiday gift for you this year: knowledge.

Your =/= You're

Are =/= Our

Their =/= They're

"Where you at?" =/= "Where are you?"

"This is a picture of Danny and I." =/= "This is a picture of Danny and me."

"Me and Joe are going." =/= "Joe and I are going."

"LyKe ToTaLlY oMg!!!!??!!!!!%&#*(@!!!!!!!" =/= "Wow!"

"If someone did (such and such), then they deserve it!" =/= "If someone did (such and such), then he/she deserves it!"

"Like, I don't know, like, that movie was, like, totally boring, like." =/= "I don't know, that movie was totally boring."

"You got some money?" =/= "Do you have any money?"

"Why you ain't got no socks on?" =/= "Why do you not have on your socks?"

"Skrimp" =/= Shrimp

"Let me get two Whoppers with the Cheeses." =/= "May I please have two Whoppers with Cheese?"

"What you mean you ain't got any?" =/= "What do you mean, you don't have any?"

Sister-in-laws =/= Sisters-in-law



Now, I am not the perfect grammar queen (I am guilty of using the ever-hated "like"), but at least I don't sound like a retarded ape. And some of you people are over the age of 26. Come on, people, use common sense! If it doesn't sound quite right, then it probably isn't!

There, you got a free education. You're welcome.
