Roses are red…
So no one seems to care that the Leader of the Free World can’t find a coherent sentence with two hands and a flashlight. (“That’s what speechwriters are for! He’s much better in person! Really!”) I give up on that one – although the people who are pushing for declaring English as America’s national language might want to teach it to the President first.
In the Orwellian world we find ourselves living in, apparently we have to pretend that the President is a combination fighter pilot, cowboy, and orator. But do we also have to pretend he’s a poet? (via MetaFilter) The Missouri Review’s answer is, thankfully, no.
Adam, I’m gonna be a bitch and ask….did you MEAN for the first word in that post to be “So”…or did you intend “No”? If you meant “So”, I think a comma would be appropriate after it.
The universe will getcha every time…
Ack! A post about bad English and I use bad English! In my semi-defense, it was a typo. Fixed now.
It’s a rule, Adam, that seems to apply to everyone. If you mock/correct/comment upon someone else’s language skills, you WILL make a mistake in your comment. I hate it, and I hear the universe laughing every time.
I think someone online (Rob of Darn Tootin’?) calls it the karmic boomerang.
But didn’t Georgey go to Harvard. I went to Old Dominion University so I can fuck up grammar and spelling til the cows come home. It’s kind of expected. We expect much more from a Harvard grad and the President of the USA.
That reminds me of one of my favorite lines in “Totally Blonde” when Elle’s ex boyfriend finds out she followed him to Harvard. He asks her did she get into Harvard and she says… “like it’s hard”
go Missouri!
