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.


Oh and getting various notifications from FB games like Sorority Life really pisses me off. The authors of the game make a lame attempt at being gender neutral by saying "their" and "they."

Example: Suzy Sorority is offering a special bonus for this to their friends for a limited time.

Girl from high school how are you suppose to write five full pages about the Civil Rights Act of 1964????
---Comment 1: just print out the act and hand it in, if it's less then 5 pages repeat as necessary
---Comment 2: That sounds like a terrible paper:( i couldnt even write 5 pages on that topic. good luck with it

I have a very limited knowledge of the topic, but I'm pretty sure there's a lot to say about Civil Rights in the 1960s. And "suppose," really?

THANK YOU!
I was having such a difficult time deciphering that one!

lol, i'm glad that i was able to provide a mindteaser for y'all. Airys represent! lol

ASTalumna06 03-03-2010 12:00 AM

This one just popped up in a status:

"Watching the swan princess:) my ultime favorite movie and doing homework too."

Yea. At first I thought it was meant to be "ultimate," but after reading further, I assumed it was "all-time."

I replied, "Ok, just because I'm crazy, what does "ultime" mean? lol," ...figuring I'd give the person the benefit of the doubt by assuming that they just made a mistake, and that they would correct said mistake by telling me what they actually meant to say.

Response: "Ha ha well i guess what i meant is that it is my favorite movie above any other movie i watch ha ha."

I'm pretty sure this person thinks "ultime" is actually a word. :rolleyes:

Chickenoodle:
this is had been a very unproductive evening.

yeah. smh.

AGDee 03-03-2010 08:01 AM

Ok, I don't usually gripe about the latest "new facebook", but since this most recent change, I cannot view my lists of people and it is making me crazy. I have all of my friends categorized and I cannot find a way to change which list they are on, add them to a list, or DELETE them. Anybody?

ETA: Nevermind, just found it. Click on Account, Edit Friends. Could that have been any more difficult to find? Sheesh.

dreamseeker 03-03-2010 07:45 PM

oooh. i needed to know this a week or so ago. i gave up looking for it.

So I just moved to NJ and obviously there are a lot of commercials I've never seen before. Tonight, I had the tv on while making dinner and I heard a commercial talking about a casino that's about an hour away from here. When they said the name of it, I couldn't help but look up and laugh. The name of the casino...

Mount Airy.

:p

ASTalumna06 03-05-2010 12:46 AM

And by the way... today is National Grammar Day!

The only thing that annoys me more than the people who post the 'real' "97% of people won't post this, will you?" Copy & Paste statuses, are the ones who post the 'fake' ones. The ones that say "copy & paste this if you know someone who is an idiot" etc. IT'S NOT FUNNY, you are just as much of an idiot as the c&p people you are trying hard to mock.

LatinaAlumna 03-13-2010 03:26 AM

TWICE today I saw "heals" instead of "heels" on FB status lines. :confused::mad:

I tried 3 times to decipher that mess... I'm still confused...

ETA: Thanks dreamseeker! I finally figured it out. I think. Good lawd it should not be that hard to read a sentence. Communicate much?

dreamseeker 03-15-2010 06:42 PM

lol @ model. wow. how does motto = model?

pshsx1 03-16-2010 04:22 PM

then = than
distub = disturb
model = motto
want = won't

Okay.

DaemonSeid 03-19-2010 04:28 PM

Some days I think its simply amazing when I look at some of my FB peeps who were hellraisers in their early life and now years later, they found God... *wink*

jojapeach 03-21-2010 01:04 AM

^^^ She's still your FB friend? That reply deserves automatic de-friending. I think I may borrow your status...because I cannot make up that statement.

jdrama 03-21-2010 06:33 AM

Yes but you want to know the bad thing.. the REALLY REALLY BAD thing? She's my friend in REAL LIFE!! And I considered her one of my smartest friends who didn't go to college. And she writes some bull like that. I noticed she didn't respond however to my rebuttal lol

ASTalumna06 03-26-2010 05:41 PM

Someone wrote on my friend's wall:

"Your to cute"

Awesome. :rolleyes:

jennyj87 03-30-2010 08:13 PM

This was just from my cousin---"Dad is looking better, mum said ge was pale as a ghost this morning. He's got some collor now, they are cleaning out his kidneys with IV and lots of liquids and they are gonna run some test on him tommorrow and figure what is causing the problems."

So many annnnnnnds. She's going to be a teacher too....uggg.

I'm really glad I found all about my uncle through FACEBOOK instead of a phone call.

I really hate technology sometimes.

Did anyone get this message on FB today?

Ok ladies here's another game, like the bra color game was a total success and we had men wondering for days what was with the colors and it made it to the news. Well this game has to do with your handbag, where we put our handbag the moment we get home for example "on the couch", "the kitchen counter", "the dresser", well you get the idea. Just put your answer as your status with nothing more than that and cut and paste this message and forward to all your facebook female friends' inbox. The bra game made it to the news. Let's see how powerful we women really are!! REMEMBER DO NOT PUT YOUR ANSWER AS A REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE. SIMPLY PUT YOUR ANSWER AS YOUR STATUS, THEN FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO YOUR GIRLFRIENDS



I hope people don't really do this!!

No, thankfully. I get enough spam-like requests on FB as it is.

"Nikki" home bout to color my hair......YAY....I SO HAPPY...CANT WAIT TIL TOMAR FOR THE RESULTS

Uhh.... I So Happy?? Where's that ever important "m'"?

Tomar
is Spanish right? You cant use that for English.

And what results? He's not the father. We all told you this Nikki.

SapphireSphinx9 04-03-2010 07:28 PM

I'm loving this thread!! Spent the better part of my work day reading this instead of... well working! lol



I definitely do not claim to be fluent in Spanish, but I believe tomar means "to drink"

Love the last line, though! :p

Yes. She completely spelled Tomorrow wrong. Sad... and I know her in real life too. Sad!

amanda6035 04-26-2010 10:01 PM

I thought of this thread when checking out the Target facebook page today:

" Alicia XXXXXX: Does ne1 kno of job openings@da hampton roads target stores? Ne info wuld help. Thanx!"

Yeah, someone's going to recommend you for a job when you post like that....

I feel like this needed 2 separate LMFAO's just for impact.

That status makes me feel awkward. I hate people who use Q's as G's.
