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."

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!

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.

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?
