Continuing Rant Thread - Get it Off Ya Chest here

[Droopy Brew]

How about apostrophe's used to unnecessarily denote plural's?
And exclamation marks when you're not really exclaiming! Hello!

And multiple exclamation or question marks when one will suffice???!!!

Hard life we live. My pants have a hole in the knee.

You think that's tough- my pants don't even have knees!!!!! Then again shorts are standard attire during Townsville winters.

Who do you have to ****?

Someone called hard.

 

[Bridges]

The world is truly turning to ****.

We used to have a somewhat technical term for a peice of equipment that was no longer servicable or beyond econimic repair.

We used to write on the tag " Its ******"

If it was damaged to the point of not even being able to be used for spares we wrote " Completly ******"

I used to tag stuff N.F.G.

I was most disappointed when my old boss told me I couldn't write "id 10 T at fault" on the job sign off sheet we left with clients any more, as he didn't like explaining to them later what it actually stood for.

Fault found to be with keyboard player.

Customer advised to RTFM

PEBKAC

Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair.

Easy targets aren't they the ones who may have learning difficulties, who attempt to contribute to any forums not just AHB, to embarrassed to write a reply when they are attacked, not saying all have learning difficulties some are lazy.
My advice would be not to get annoyed, who knows what problems they may have, intelligence is not measured by grammar.

I'd like to think I'm above having a go at people with actual learning difficulties. My brother is dyslexic.

Lets just assume (as intended) that I'm annoyed at the percentage of people who couldn't be ****** at school. Those people are now in their element when eating takeaways most evenings and watching **** on tv with their kids. And so it continues....

And good grammar isn't a measurement of intelligence, but it's a pretty good indicator.

People confusing "to" and "too" is another one....

 

[Camo6]

Arrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!!!

It's let's Dan! As in "let us assume." If someone lets you assume then you can ditch the apostrophe. FFS!!!
(Otherwise, impeccably written except for the profanities. God, I hope I've proof read this thoroughly. )

It's just as easy to assume that they may have learning difficulties and let it go,I will be the first to admit English wasn't a subject that I did well at but I do like to think I have been successful from leaving school as an average student at 16.
Having a brother who is dyslexic you really should know better, just as a stickler for correct grammar would know it's TV not tv that those you assume to be morons watch **** on.

As Weal mentioned **** on TV,hopefully no one here watches those ***** Reallity shows.?
I much prefer to watch a Doco or similar but can't get near the fcuking TV as the missus and daughter love those brain dead shows .

 

[Danwood]

Deleted. My phone is being weird.

 

[Danwood]

Yep, I'm not perfect either, not many are I suppose. English is a pretty tricky language.

Rant over.

Next !

Do like I do.
Mock the living **** out of it. Long Island Medium and Sister Wives come in for some extremely coarse commentary in my presence.
Most of the time it doesn't work but and I leave the room again.

Since we're harping on words n ****, anybody above the age of 16 who thinks text speak passes for legitimate communication, go **** yourself.
Your the harbingers of illiteracy.

Good evening.

Ironic.

Hehe. FWIW my post was just taking an opportunistic dig. I'm a massive abuser of apostrophes and actually employ a proof reader to review my posts before submission. She's only up to her orange words though so don't expect too much.

Yep I speak up,mock the ***** touted as " must watch" and get told to shut up ,then am asked why I sit in the the corner in the rocking chair with my I pad.
Well, I say, this is my Nanna's rocking chair,my Ipad and my lounge room now shut up and stop interrupting me while I check out AHB .
I suppose I am getting as good as I give.....oh but they will never understand...sob..sob........

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

On a more serious note..

I have just returned from a farewell party .....

Bit hard to explain, but basically my local is up for sale after 28yrs ownership by the same family.

My friend,barman,Ducati rider ( now Triumph ) is not sure where he is going ( note: he is owners son )....apart from a holiday.

It is sad to see such a great pub with loyal customers and even better beer be passed on into the unkown.

One can only hope that the new owners keep the 4 Coopers taps going and not put that putrid VB back on tap.

I struggle to sleep at nights thinking about this pub, and its not even my local (only because i like 16km outa town) :unsure: . Best pub going around the area, coffs and further afield included. I really hope like you that someone who loves pubs does buy it, not some businessman who'd turn it into a retro bar with square white leather seats and only XXXX on tap (Like 85% of every other pub in Aus).

On a happier note. U go girlfriend...

Seinfeld is on twice a night, every night. Took the missus a coupla years to come round, now she absolutely loves it. Only ********* show she watchs is House Rules, and I can put up with that, as i'm normally 'On that stupid beer forum or perving at girls on twitter' as she says.

 

[Airgead]

Tumblr dude.. much better perving on Tumblr.

 

[Not For Horses]

Isn't tumblr for 15yo girls though?
Let us know how the food in prison tastes.
