"your so kewl lets get 2gether sumtim" Sometimes a person can wonder if anyone knows how to spell anymore. Sometimes a person has to wonder if teachers have just given up on grammar and punctuation altogether. Sometimes a person wonders what all the fuss is about if other people can figure out what's being said.

Are you well-versed in homophones, possessive pronouns, and punctuation? Do you know why apostrophes are being overworked and underpaid? Do you spend so much time text messaging on your phone that you no longer know how to spell without numbers? Do you wonder why the non-word "gooder" is in the title? Go on, take the quiz and see what the teacher would give you in Language Arts today.

I always thought that this was a good use for one. :-)

That's a good use of Zappa right there.....

I can't help but think of prostate cancer whenever I see, or hear, Frank Z. His congressional testimony in front of Lady Gore in the mid 80s (I intentionally refuse to use an apostrophe with 80s) is a classic.

Get a PSA test guys, it's not the sole indicated of CA, but it's one of a few different tests that can help with early detection.

And you don't need to.

That is standard orthography.

Fuck. Now I have to look up orthography.

Jethro Tull  posted on  2012-02-25   14:44:34 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply  

"ortho" = upright, correct

"graphy" = writing

This is Greek for writin' with a hard on.

Ah, kinda like finger painting with the "happy finger."
