 Yeah, I laughed my ass off right there in class. Any kid who's watched Sesame Street could tell you blue and yellow are both primaries and so can't be opposites. And here this woman was telling us otherwise. I can only imagine one of her other students slathering yellow eyeshadow on some poor customer's eyelids to bring out the blue.  gods!! poor thing!! i don't what's worse,or who to feel more sorry for... the misinformed.. or the wearer...  'why y'all trying to say goodbye? I didn't go anywhere, I'm right here, im all around you,always..'
in a line from my dream, I heard a voice and saw a silhouette in a chair.. | |

That one drives me nuts!!! Don't forget about when they need to go to the libary to do their schoolwork   'why y'all trying to say goodbye? I didn't go anywhere, I'm right here, im all around you,always..'

So, she asked the lady next to me. The lady told her the same thing as I did. Then she called someone and asked them how to spell asthma. She hung up the phone and said, "There HAS to be a "u" in there!" I said, "What makes you think there is a "u" in there?" She said, "Well, it's "azMUH!"  You'd think after she got 3 answers she'd accept it... I know unlucky7 reincarnated | |

She used the word "semantics" all day. What she meant was details or logistics. She was like "if the donors don't know the semantics of that blood drive..." OK, so we don't know the meanings of the words at a blood drive? Being wrong is one thing, but being loud and worng is another. And that heifer used that damn word all day. I almost want to print out a definition and just leave it in her mail box. It's not the first time..... I was almost loud and wrong, edit [Edited 3/19/09 19:17pm] [Edited 3/19/09 19:17pm] Oh I thought this thread was about ButterscotchPimp To Sir, with Love | |

Wednesday, on the subway:
Man: "You know the song that starts off 'First I was afraid, I was petrified...' what is that?" Woman: "It's 'I Will Survive'." Man: "Ah... who sings that?" Woman: "Donna Summer." Man: "Who?" Woman, louder: "Donna Summer!" 
When I was in perhaps 4th grade I'd written a story about horses. Now, in Swedish 'gallop' is spelled 'galopp', why I don't know. It is spelled that way anyway and my teacher had "corrected" it with an ugly red marker... only I had spelled it right and she hadn't. I HATED red marks in my book so that was NOT going to pass with me, I go up to her and say "Ummm, I did NOT misspell 'galopp'" and she goes with a condescending laugh "Yes you did dear"  I tell her "NO! It's spelled YOUR way in English but it's not in Swedish!" she tells me she won't discuss it anymore and that even I have to deal with not being able to spell everything right..... and then I went and brought the heaviest damn dictionary I found and put at 'galopp', stepped up to her desk and SLAMMED it down in front of her. It scared her half to death  and I told her: "Read. Now." So she does, closes the dictionary and says to me in a light voice: "Was there anything else you wanted?" "Yeah bitch, I want you to correct your 'correction' in my note book!"  She did but we never quite got along after that.  | |

This one journalism teacher told me "traject" wasn't a word. But, I read a dictionary entry of it before using it. This journalism course was supposed to be an advanced level, mind you. At least the guy was nice about it. But still.... This sig is just a fig of your imago-neigh-shun | |

I HATE when people say "would of" instead of "would have". Typing it out that way bugs me too. When they say it out loud, they're saying "would've" and don't realize it.  That's exactly what it is.
Those who don't speak English as a first language can be forgiven. But if you grew up with this tongue? Sorry, but no. A little basic skills go a long way. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

A common typo (P is right next to O on the keyboard) that became part of Internet vernacular, much like "teh." People used to do it by accident, now they do it on purpose. The Normal Whores Club | |

Frustrated....people... a friend of mine used to say "flustrated" - i suppose it was a combination of flustered and frustrated. pretty sure it wasn't on purpose, but i thought it was brilliant! | |

have you ever tried to argue a point and then realize in the middle of the argument that you were wrong???
do you: a) keep arguing b) apologize immediately c) change the subject d) twist your point of view THE B EST BE YOURSELF AS LONG AS YOUR SELF ISNT A DYCK[/r]

myfavorite said: have you ever tried to argue a point and then realize in the middle of the argument that you were wrong???
do you: a) keep arguing b) apologize immediately c) change the subject d) twist your point of view I usually joke myself. I don't take myself too seriously. Then it becomes a long and drawn out joke. I'm not sensitive. Once when I was interviewing a recording artist on the err (air...I said it country on purpose) I asked if he would like to "embellish on that". I was going "you dumb ass" in my head. "you want him to exaggerate his story? Or expand on that?" | |
