Learn to speak English, damn it!

  • Mood: Rant
  • Listening to: Phantom of the Opera- Andrew Lloyd Webber
  • Reading: Eclipse- Stephanie Meyer
  • Watching: Inspector Rex
  • Eating: A peach
  • Drinking: Water
Yes. You read right. I am FED UP with A) people not being able to spell correctly, B) people not being able to construct a proper sentence and C) people putting apostrophes in the wrong places, or missing apostrophes altogether.

FIRSTLY: IT IS DOUGHNUT. NOT DONUT.

SECONDLY: It is success. Not sucess.
Thirdly: COLOUR. Not COLOR. (Deal with it, Yanks.)
Goes the same with ARMOUR etc etc.
4. Mischievous. NOT mischievious.
5. Fraternise. Not Fraternize. Goes the same with most 'z' spellings.

Is there a mispelling that annoys you? Tell me about it and I'll add it!

FIRSTLY. Jane's hat is there. NOT Janes hat is there. OR Janes' hat is there.
SECONDLY. It's raining. NOT Its raining OR Its' raining. (It's is short for It is.)
THIRDLY. This is the cats' bowl. (Many cats.)
This is the cat's bowl. (One cat.)
FOURTHLY. The football team's coach yelled. NOT The football teams' coach yelled.
FIFTHLY. The bat flapped its wings. NOT The bat flapped it's wings. Remember, IT'S is a contraction of IT IS.

OH MY WORD if I could chose one thing to change the world with, it would be to write properly!!!

My next choice would be to stop world poverty, but WRITING SENTENCES is so DAMN easy it frustrates me! I mean, in high school they get us to do Analytical Essays and Reviews and all that jazz, when 80% of the class can't write a damn sentence!
DOES ANYONE AGREE WITH ME THAT THIS IS FRUSTRATING????


YES, I have just had a nerdy rant about the English language! YES, I'm completely insane!

:iconqueroli:: Their/there/they're and too/to/two. I agree!

To/Too/Two
They're/Their/There

There is something seriously wrong with our education system if highschool children can't get those right.
But I don't think there's a problem with the American spelling if you live there.

98% of teens would be dead if Twilight said breathing wasn't cool. Post this if you are apart of the 2% laughing.

Alucard proves that you should never bring guns to a vampire fight.

You are an individual- SO START ACTING LIKE ONE!
