AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
For those of you who know me (and who are able to spell above a 7th grade level), you’ll be able to identify why this email made me SO MAD that I think one of the veins in my brain popped.
No? You can’t see it? Then you need to go back to fucking GRADE SEVEN and learn how the fucking ENGLISH LANGUAGE works.
Am I taking crazy pills? WHAT THE FUCK!
- Doesn’t anyone READ over their emails before sending it out to HUNDREDS of people?
- Don’t most jobs that involve WRITING COMMUNICATION to HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE require basic English language skills as a component of hiring?
- Am I crazy or is this happening more and more and more? This fucking “apostrophe on plurals” thing is out of control. I notice a mistake at least once a day. WHAT IS GOING ON??!! APOSTROPHES ARE ONLY FOR CONTRACTIONS OR TO INDICATE POSSESSION.
I actually responded to Teambuy and told them to get their FUCKING GRAMMAR SHIT TOGETHER. I do not expect a reply.


Self-hating, dog-loving and cheese-eating in Toronto. 


Let me educate even further. In my screen shot, you’ll notice I used two apostrophes:
Fuck’s; and
There’s.
Why are these appropriate? In the first case, I was using it to indicate POSSESSION. The sake belongs to FUCK, so it is FOR FUCK’S SAKE.
In the second case, I was using it as a CONTRACTION, to replace “There is”.
FUUUUUUUUUCK.
This fully illustrates your point I believe….

Amazing. Is it sad that I’m thinking of purchasing this poster to put up in my home?
I don’t think anyone would fault you for that. It’s a charming poster that any home would be blessed to have. And it helps educate the masses. Such as myself.
The poster explaining Irony is my favourite. Something I refer to often.
