I'm going to do things a little differently today.

Instead of me typing a rant, I'm going to post a picture I screencapped from another site.

The English language is so foreign to me.

There are alot of things about the English language that I could rant about.
But the main thing I’m going to focus on today is the prefix “re”

Let’s say for instance, research.

‘re’ means ‘to do again’

My question is, what if you’ve never researched a topic before?
Meaning you couldn’t REsearch said topic.

Also, what if you are researching a topic for the first time?

Would it be called searching?
And if so, how would you word it in a sentence?

“I’m searching various STDs for a project in my health class” ?

i R gud wif grammer

What the fuck is wrong with kids these days.

For instance, a typical conversation between me and an ignorant teenager.

Me: Hey, what’s up?

Them: nawt much u?

Me: lrn2English

Them: i use perfect grammer!!!!!

The main argument I have here is that spelling is NOT grammar.

Diction is NOT grammar.

Punctuation is NOT grammar.

I don’t know why kids seem to think that if they make a typo, they can say, “I know proper grammar” and then get away with it. Sure, it’s a typo, that’s fine… but for them to call it grammar?

WHYYYYYYYYY

Why has knowledge of the English language become such a rarity? I mean, I know grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. is used in every other language (well… most) but I’m only talking about English here because I don’t know much about other languages. My advice to anyone using improper grammar, misspelling, lack of punctuation, etc… STOP calling it ALL grammar.

So let's all join hands...

Lately I’ve noticed that major natural occurrences like eclipses, meteor showers, etc. tend to bring people together.

Everyone stops their petty bullshit drama, and comes together to watch these things.

I have to ask… why does it take something like that, in order for people to stop the bullshit?

If one can stop hating someone during the short period of time that these things are happening….. are they not capable of doing so entirely?


NOT TO MENTION
Half the petty drama that’s going on…. is on facebook.
WHO THE FUCK DOES THAT?!

“omg, so and so deleted me, they r sewww ghey”
a) no one fucking cares about who deleted you, or why
b) does posting that make you any better than the person on the other end? NO, it does not.

Sorry, this was initially supposed to be a 1 part rant, but my brain wandered.

Look at all the tattoos I have!

I don’t know if I’ve ranted about this before, but I’m going to do it anyway.

What the fuck is with girls (or even guys) who get the tiniest of tattoos, and then have the odacity to count how many tattoos they have?

“ohai, I have this tiny heart tattoed behind my ear! that was my first one, then I got this butterfly the size of a dime, tattooed on my hip! that was my second one” etc, etc.

yeah, they’re tattoos, but… they don’t even count.
not to mention, why bother counting them?
Does having 2439082902 miniscule tattoos make you any more cool than the next person?
I think not.

Another thing I hate is people who get tattoos that have NO relevance to anything.
Now you can say “well maybe it does have some meaning”
No, I’ve had people tell me they get tattoos for NO reason.
No story behind them, no reasoning behind it, nothing.

If you want tattoos, get them, by all means.
But don’t take 2389472 pictures of them, saying “this is number 4”
No one cares how many miniature tattoos you have.
In fact, unless you have an interesting story behind it… most people don’t care about your tattoos at all.
