Odds and Ends.

I am Kaitlin. (I can't use chopsticks, whistle, or wink. I still write letters. I once knew pi to 37 significant figures. Yes, I am a nerd/geek/dork. I dislike wearing shoes. It takes me longer than it should to read analogue clocks. I complain about the fact that I complain too much. I prefer Coke to Pepsi, books to magazines, night to day, chocolate to vanilla, cats to dogs, and jeans to shorts. I am narcissistic. I think you should learn Esperanto. I wish life were a musical.)

See also: F Yeah! Flute! and F Yeah! Interrobangs‽.

I am basically a bad person.

So, I log onto Facebook, and I see this status:

When will people learn there is a BIG difference between ‘Your’ and ‘You’re’ and also between ‘Their’, ‘There’ and ‘They’re.’ LEARN IT!

Below it were a series of comments lamenting the loss of proper grammar WHICH WERE IN MANY WAYS PARTICULARLY NON-GRAMMATICALLY-CORRECT THEMSELVES. I’ve stopped picking on grammar as much as I possibly can—because, I mean, there are way more important things—but DUDE YOU CAN’T DO THAT WHILE YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT BAD GRAMMAR YOU HYPOCRITES OH MY GOD. *angry typing*

So. Uh. This is what happened. (A is original poster, B is some other random that joined in. I am…well, me…with my surname whited out in case y’all decide to stalk me or whatever it is you scary internet people do these days.)

For the record, I didn’t read that post before mine until afterwards, because I was busy! Being outraged! BUT REALLY? IT’S PROBABLY LUCKY! staus’? TRY STATUSES (or, actually, guys, is it stati, hmmm? Damn elusive plural. *resists the urge to Google*)

Uhm, anyway. Yeah. So. I’m a bad person. And, uh, evidently, that grammar nitpicking thing I’m trying to get over? Mayybbbbbeeeee not working so much.

*breathes*

And how are we all this evening? XD
