Oh, and by  the way; It's EXactly not Ed Zackley.  The word is a declarative not a noun. :police: :police: [ar15]

It's not "eggzakly"?

First thing tomorrow I'm going to return Hooked on Phonics.

My daughter posted a good one the other day, regarding seen and saw.

Something like this:

If I hear you being a sentence with "I seen..." I'm going to assume the rest of the sentence isn't "the inside of a book."

that's just common since

It's all Internetese. The one that bugs me (well, one of the many) is "Walla." Not the town in Washington state. As in:

"I wanted to surprise my nephew for his birthday so I hid the new tricycle under a sheet. When he walked in, I whipped the sheet off and ... WALLA ... there was the tricycle."

As the Irish are reputed to have said on occasion, "Saints prezairv us."

I don't think I have ever seen anyone use "congrads".  Now that it has been brought up, I'll probably see it soon.

I see it used here quite often. Revdisk used it just recently, which was my inspiration for this thread.

It seems that, on the Internet, adding an apostrophe before the 'S' is required for any plural noun.

Spending too much time on the Internet will turn anyone's brain to mush.



When do we initiate the arguments over the correct use of "affect" and "effect"? Those are almost universally misused, not only on the Internet but also in the newspaper's. [Note au courant use of the plural form]

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

We have been working with our daughter on NOT adding the word 'like' to EVERYTHING.

She's picking it up from her cousins.  I can't control them but I can make sure she knows how it sounds.  When she does it I ask her to come over and I read one of her favorite books to her.  It's usually one she knows by heart but I add the word 'like' to every sentence.  It ticks her off but I think she's getting it now.
