Illiteracy
Takes Over The Internet
Unlike 99.9874% of people on the
internet today, I paid attention in English class in high school and
college. I learned all about nouns and adjectives and fun stuff like that.
I actually wouldn't be surprised if a few people who are reading this
right now don't know what an adjective is. Not surprised at all. But what
shocks me is that retards on the internet these days don't know the first
damn thing about how to use punctuation. Here's a quick lesson for those
less fortunate...
? -
This is a question mark, always used after asking a question. For
example...
"What
time do you want me to meet you by the flag pole to kick your ass?"
Perfect example of a
question mark. Not so hard, right? So why is it that so many dumb bitches
online are using that symbol at the end of EVERYTHING THEY SAY? Doesn't
make a whole hell of a lot of sense. This is an example on some little
girl's blog...
"...still nothings
changed in my love life... still single?????????"
To which I replied...
"Is that a question?
If so, the answer is yes."
Little girl, owned. Not only did she
use a question mark where she shouldn't have, she used way too many of
them. Every time I read someone's ignorant little posts that have a
question mark where it shouldn't, I write their name down for future kicks
in the back of the head. She'll get hers.

This is an exclamation mark, used to
show excitement, or shouting. This is the most overused punctuation mark
known to man. A correct use of this would be, "I'm
going to kick the shit out of your dog!"
There you can feel the anger, hell maybe even excitement. Here's a
good way to receive a kick in the back of the head by me...
"I can't believe I
started my period today!!!!! So, I was on my way to the bathroom and was
like, I'm bleeding!!!!!! Then Buckey came and kicked me in the head!!!!!
I'm going to go take a nap now!!!! Like, bye!!!!"
That's just asking to get your ass
kicked. When I read that I picture a blonde with Abercrombie clothes and a
death wish. Here's a little piece of advice... if you ever want to be
considered for a job other than a greeter at Wal-Mart, lose the
exclamation marks, and re-take grades 4-12. K-3 is too easy. Only people
that failed those are people who pour concrete for a living, and career
cashiers at Kroger.

Three dots between sentence fragments
usually show a pause for effect or drama. Also known as an ellipsis. Even
more over used than the exclamation mark. Proper use of this would be...
"So I was
driving in to town the other day and saw Rick Withers... damn that's one
fat ass." Or perhaps:
"I bought a kitten
the other day... and God ate it. Silly God."
Seems like it would be pretty hard to
screw up the ellipsis; it's so straight forward. Simply use it when you
want space and/or drama. But alas, I found some retard that just couldn't
manage to piece together more than 3 words without pounding her fist on
the period key a few times...
"Today........ went
to soccer......... came home and got ready....... went to the y and ran 4
miles with my sister........ and worked out.......came home and got
ready..........then headed to chillicothe with my sister.......... then
went to shiftys.......... WOW funn....... old guys were staring @ my
ass..... and i'm like BACK OFF........ seriously WTF.........
anyways...... i guess my ass looked goood lol j/k anyways now i'm herre.........."
What the hell is that? It's like she
couldn't manage to slam one solid thought down on a keyboard. I...
can't... read... what... the... hell... she's... saying... when.... it....
looks... like... this. But from the looks of things, whatever she was
saying wasn't that important anyway. By the way, learn to spell.
...?!
- I know you're probably thinking to
yourself, "there's no way someone could possibly use all three of those
punctuation marks together unless they're a special needs student." But
it's true, some people think it's cool to throw down as much punctuation
as possible. These people get the title "asshole." If you were God, would
you kill this person? I know I would...
" i sware i hate
being unable ot help my team @ a scrimmage... i felt worthless the WHOLE
weekend... like i was just taking up space.......??!! but i guess i
learned what to and what not to do from the side line.... so anyways we
left findlay and i rode home with Paige...! Abbie....! and Jason....! wow
are those guys FUNNY...?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!??? jason.... It's Me......
Jessica wow that was freaking great...... so anyways"
If you can't see what's wrong with
that paragraph, you should be drug over hot coals.
That's all for now.
Thinking about illiterate people is making my blood boil. Next time I'll
talk about idiots tHaT ThInK iTs CoOl To TyPe LiKe ThIs!?! |
