Grammar

A question, have you ever noticed that bad grammar gets easier to find as a community gets larger? We have gotten to the point at which some bad grammar and misuse of words is normal, commonplace, even. My thought is: GET A FREAKING DICTIONARY PEOPLE! What's that? You don't have one? DO YOU LIVE IN THE MIDDLE AGES?! Here, take this and this! I just remembered, you'll need this.




You do not even need any skill, you just need a dictionary, Rick Astley, and all the troll's base... actually, you only need the dictionary, the other two are just pranks... that'll teach you to click links before checking where they go! If you did check, and didn't fall for them, great jaerb! mehehehehehe!

and as for the tags, a "Grammar Nazi" is somebody who really hates bad grammar, like ME!
so pick up a dictionary, and join us, we have cookies and pancakes! and maple syrup, butter and milk!

wait... it's RETIRED?

Yesterday, I earned a badge called the "pathfinder" merit badge in scouts. It was pretty easy to do, and fun. The awesome thing about this merit badge in particular is that it was retired in the '50s! They allowed us to get this badge this year alone because it is the 100 year anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. Of course, it's not like I knew this until after I earned it. Being as easily distracted as I am, I was zoned out while the scoutmaster was talking, but still heard the important stuff. After i had finished earning it, the scoutmaster gave a speech about it, which was rather interesting. While listening he mentioned that it was retired... funny what you miss when you don't listen. I now have a retired merit badge! You won't be able to get it next year, this was one of the only chances, and i GOT IT! On other news, pancakes taste good and waffles are overrated.
