Randomness
It's Pronounced...
After reading Xquizzyt1's entry on correcting her co-workers grammar it made me think of a lot of things that we say wrong. As a person who was an English/literature minor I feel like it's my duty to help some people out lol....
Do Say Alzheimer's disease Don't Say Old timers disease
Do Say ask Don't Say aks (ax)
Do say escape Don't Say excape
Do say federal Don't say fedral
Do say interpret Don't say interpretate
Do say library Don't say libary
Do say take for granted Don't say take for granite
this has to be the funniest one...
Do say Heimlich maneuver Don't say Heineken remover
my pet peeve...
Do say regardless Don't say irregardless ("-Less" already says ''without'' so there is no need to repeat the same sentiment with "ir-." )
Sims 2
Umm I really tried not to play this game. People would offer to let me play and I'd me like nah that's okay. I read people's blogs on how they are addicted to it and have talked to friends who say they started playing at like 6pm and next thing it's one in the morning. I knew I didn't need anything like that in my life. Then my so called friend called himself being nice and purchased it for me. I put it on the trusty laptop and was playing it for like 4 hours. This makes no sense what so ever... someone save me lol
Dumb ass song lyrics
So I was in traffic today which is nothing out of the ordinary in DC and I popped in 112's CD III. I was listening to a song called "Player." Hands down this song has some lyrics that I hope only describe situations that only occur in the song world.
He starts out the song and says "I'm a player... girl I thought you knew. When you started messin around with me, knew I wouldn't commit to you." Umm okay so supposedly she started this relationship with homeboy but knew he was a player... okay sure
Then in the next verse he tells her "I'm a player... and it's kinda sad that it has to be this way. But I don't wanna lock you down until I'm ready, so right now, I'm gonna play." Okay so now he wants her to sit aand twiddle her thumbs and wait. But at least he's doing her a favor (in his mind) and not locking her down until he is ready and he told her he's going go out and play.
But I think the worst is the chorus "But when I do get ready to settle down....Baby the first one I'm calling is you. When I do get ready to settle down, baby the first one I'm calling is you. But until then... I'm a player" Okay that right there is a truckload of bullshyt. Is a girl supposed to be happy over that and call her friends and be like:
"hey Keisha, Mike straight played me and said he's going keep talking to all them other girls. I should have know that though cause he is a player. But he is always thinking about my feelings cause he said he didn't want to lock me down until he was ready to stop sexing them other chicks. And guess what else he said girl... when he does get ready to be committed he's calling me first. So that's what they get."
Umm no stop the madness. After the first sentence Mr. Player would have been hung up on. Ehh what hurts my head is some people have probably had that exact conversation and was fine with it.
Telemarketers
They are getting bold. I pick up my phone and there is the dumb recording "please stay on the line..." then this lady is like "what's up is Darlene there." I'm like excuse me and she's like "Darlene is that you?!" like her and my mom go way back. I'm like no Darlene isn't here. Do you know this heifer said what's her number. I said you called this number you should know it. Then she's like "not this number, the number where she is, you know like her cell or work number." Did this heifer think I was going give her my moms cell and work number. She MUST have bumped her damn head. When I said nah I can't give it to you her ole country ass sucked her teeth and hung up on me (I can call her that all my family is country lol). She must of took a sip from her cup of courage before she called...I swear telemarketers are getting to bold lol.
