Did you know that the word Syrup is an anagram for Pyrus?
Pyrus said:
Dude, she's spent most of her life in Europe.
First of all, Most of Europe speaks English, and is taught English.
England, Finland, Ireland, etc,....you name it.
I post on a board where most of the board population is European,
Canadian, and Australian. All of them have better spelling and grammar
skills than DL. None of them have spelling and grammar as poor as hers.
So there goes the argument about Europe,.....hers and yours.
She wasn't educated by American schools
You could have fooled me. The American educational system is
terrible. Her grammar and spelling is very American, indeed.
Since she was not educated by our educational system, her
grammar and spelling should be much better.
There goes that argument.
Besides, you could argue, she lives in this country now, so there's
nothing wrong with sharpening her English skills. Moreover,
it makes her look like a more educated, more refined individual
than those "White Trash" folks she's always making fun of.
So, if not now, when? ....no time like the present.
That's the thing Pyrus. I'm
NOT giving her any shit. Because I like Karen,
I'm correcting her sloppy posts, so I'm not giving her any shit, although,
she's seeing it that way because she's overly sensitive, overly defensive,
overly emotional, and terribly insecure. She's receiving my positive constructive criticism so poorly because she's only used to the endless
amounts of praise and brownnosing from all the horny males on the UM boards. Of course, after months of seeing such gross recklessness and
butchering of the English Language, it's become annoying to scan past
or read over those posts and have to trip over the fragments, incorrect
spellings and bad tenses.
Half of it is because she types way too quickly and carelessly on a laptop.
I'm doing the opposite of giving her shit.
I'm being a good friend by correcting it so she learns, but she's reacting
to positive constructive criticism like a 7th grade Cheerleader who's told
she has to read a book that doesn't discuss make-up or nail polish.
The worst I've done to Karen is tell her she was reacting ridiculously
and I've told her to lighten up. Not once, mind you, not once,
have I disrespected her as a person, a woman, or a human being.
Despite her reactions of snobbery and, seemingly, what I'd describe as,
overt condescension.
Now that we've got this cleared up, I must be on my way to buy
smokes before going out this evening.
You drank Bacardi Rum with Chocolate Milk? Jesus, that's guts. Yuck!
....Laters.
