breakup?

Jan 13, 2009 22:35

You keep using that word...

If you are still living together and still having sex and still trying to talk about your feelings YOU AREN'T BROKEN UP. You are in a horrible relationship and possibly the cause of a drama hurricane.

But as you wish.

Oh if we're going to discuss word misuse can we talk about "theirselves". Also "alot" and "shes" caught my attention before I stopped reading.

Sometimes you need a couple's counselor and an editor.

Sometimes you need a couple's counselor and an editor. swift kick in the pants.

Fixed that for ya.

leora January 14 2009, 04:01:41 UTC

Oh thank you. I can always use some free editing. I'm only so-so at editing.

...I can't tell if you're seriously miffed or not. I was attempting to be funny.

leora January 14 2009, 06:14:36 UTC

Actually, I was being sincere. No sarcasm. I meant what I said. And I appreciated the humor of your comment. I'm sorry that my literalness made my meaning so unintuitive.

My personal favorite was "like they didnt care about me or me being apart of any relationship anymore."

Well, actually, it sounds like they do want you to be APART from their relationship, honey.

They're ignoring me and treating me like we're not in a relationship! Yah, maybe because YOU BROKE UP! Lol. Somebody needs a clue-by-sword.

Seriously, careless grammar is the least of their problems. It is so insignificant that my grammar radar was completely overpowered by OMGWTF STOP IT PLEASE. They should be poster people for When You Need Professional Help Dot Com.

Her grammar is perfectly acceptable in her vernacular, which is African American Vernacular English.

rhonan January 15 2009, 00:56:42 UTC

No, it's still bad grammar, you're just saying it's not politically correct to expect her to be able to use correct grammar.

00goddess January 15 2009, 01:09:26 UTC

No, I am saying that her grammar is perfectly acceptable in her vernacular. Not only do I expect her to be able to use correct grammar, I see that she is able to use correct grammar, as her own grammar is correct in AAVE.

papertigers January 15 2009, 11:09:56 UTC

really it's not. mind, I don't find her grammar all that objectionable, but there's all of one phrase that even remotely qualifies as AAVE. the rest are just bad spelling/syntax.

Black people don't have to use standard grammar? Who else gets a pass?

00goddess January 17 2009, 04:02:09 UTC

Racist much?

ishfirf January 18 2009, 18:28:16 UTC

It's pretty fucking racist to treat African-Americans like a race of morons who aren't capable of using proper grammar.
