Holy TMI.

I am so incredibly sick of reading status updates about everyone's kids! They are almost ALWAYS TMI.

Example... This status just popped up on my news feed:

Ok this sour tummy that Kaleigh has today is stinking up the house...rancid baby farts = EWWW!! At least she hasn't thrown up again since this morning...and seems in good spirits. Mommy on the other hand, is very very very sleepy.

Why? Just why?

He could ask for a dictionary and someone to teach him how to diagram sentences.

High School Dropout: is any1 wantn cum 2 da Montana cookhoure

This is my pet peeve. Hate it. Sent a note to our chapter's social chair the other day when he made something plural with an apostrophe. Deleted it because people can't take criticism of their poor grammar on the internet. I've also seen some very well educated and very smart folks on GC making this error as well. Don't know why it bugs me, but it really does.

I'm seriously going to start carrying around a bottle of Wite-Out and fixing this when I see it on signs in stores.

The only think I can think of is "couture," but who knows?

pshsx1 02-21-2010 05:27 PM

Well... the fact that he said "cum" leads me to believe that it's Montana's cook whore... so something like a slutty Roast?

I was thinking "cookhouse" ... like maybe it's the name of a restaurant, or something?

But I think the other guesses are more fun. And yes, I did think "cook whore" originally :p

Hey now! lol

I write well because of Plano! Before college I was always told that you don't realize how well you write until college... it's crazy.

I could only get through half of that.. my head really started hurting.

And one of my friends types "ah" instead of "a." So the sentence would be like "I saw ah purple lemon today." It annoys me SO much!

That's ridiculous! It takes more effort to type two letters than it takes to type one letter. What's the point?

I saw lots of "unnecessary quotes" in my "favorite" taqueria today.

Ok, to be completely honest, I sometimes switch to lolcat speak. For example: I'm hungry. = Plz to have noms? or I love my cat. = I luvs mah kitteh.

Don't hate me :p

Oh no no no, that's completely acceptable! If you're being funny, then whatever. I just meant it was stupid how pshsx1's friend wrote "ah" instead of "a." I'm all for lolcats! My mom says nom all the time!

Ok, that's just funny. :D And clearly you're doing it on purpose.

dreamseeker 03-02-2010 07:35 AM

At first I was thinking, pieces? Pieces of what? Crap? Ohhhh, Pisces, as in astrology! OK.

She is clearly doing her part to help stop the misconception that celebrities are dumb.

ETA: OK, I just checked out her page. She acknowledged that she spelled "Pisces" wrong, but skipped over "Aries" -- poor thing lol

She should have said she was talking about Reese's Pieces and tried to get some $$$ for her "endorsement."

Munchkin03 03-02-2010 04:45 PM

I'm pretty picky about who I actively friend on Facebook, but if a family member friends me, I will friend them back (a few exceptions, but these are people I already have on block).

I have about 10 cousins who provide Bible quotes of the day, Daily Inspirations, Jesus's Thought of the Day, and all of their status updates are about Jesus. It's great that they have their faith to rely on, but it gets a bit much sometimes. Also, they talk in Prince speak. Jesus talk in Prince-speak? 2 MUCH 4 ME.

I just stared at that damn sentece for 5 minutes trying to understand it. I eventually gave up and then realized you had commented on it. Thank God you did, because I would have gone mad trying to figure out what the hell that person was talking about!

Originally being from Pennsylvania, I first thought she meant "Reese's Pieces" or something along those lines. I was confused, too.

This doesn't count as bad grammar in facebook STATUS updates, but it applies to people posting on my wall. I thought about it long and hard and decided to erase it because I couldn't keep looking at it without feeling like it was nails across a chalkboard.

I wrote something random in my facebook status and a friend replied to my status by posting, "Your funny!" It drove me nuts and I almost wrote back, "My funny what?"

I HATE when people don't know how to distinguish between YOUR and YOU'RE. That drives me crazy more than pretty much anything else-well, that and I HATE styrafoam (for personal creeped out reasons-not because I'm super earth conscious).

Fixed it for ya ;)

I taking an online marketing survey earlier today. When I got to the last question (I spent about 5 minutes completing the questionnaire), I noticed the marketing company (or whoever designed the survey) used "you're" instead of "your." I think the question was something along the lines of "You're preferred method of communication... etc." I exited the survey without submitting it. Good gravy people!

als463 03-02-2010 08:02 PM

I agree with you...

Hey, thanks for fixing that. I know. It seems stupid to be this crazy about not liking when people don't know the difference, but it really makes it hard for you to take someone seriously. I won't even do Facebook surveys if they can't figure out the difference between There, Their, and They're or Your and You're. UGH!!!!

The pizza shop in my town has a plaque up for a kid who passed away and it says something like "Your always in our thoughts and prayers." I HATE looking at it because it annoys me that they had something done (which I'm sure they paid a decent amount for) by a professional and it was never fixed. I even pointed it out to the Manager and she just shrugged it off.
