It bothers me when people complain about the use of "literally" in such sentences as "I literally shat my pants" It is, in fact, and ironically perhaps, a figurative use of the word literal.

Who says "common" in place of "c'mon"??

types, not says. I see it on this board frequently enough.

I thought I would just pop in and giggle at all you anal buggers who get anoyed by this kind of stuff. I personally do all of them on a consistent basis. I can't spell worth shit and fail to see the need to bother.

"I could care less" makes me laugh every time :lol

Yeah, unless you're using it in the correct way...

Girl - "OMG you got me pregnant what am I going to do!?!?!"

Boy - "Uh, here's 50 bucks to get started on an abortion."

Girl - "But I need MORE for an abortion!"

Boy - "Geez woman, I COULD care less and give you jack squat so take what I'm giving you and be grateful!"

Girl - "..."

Summons the spirit of Johnny Cochran

Boy - "....I think I just literally shat my pants..."

when ppl say "so and so and me"

c'mon it is "so and so and I"

 

[FoneBone]

"prolly"

Ooh, ah, you saved two fucking letters. Just stop it.

EDIT: And if you seriously can't spell "probably"...

 

[Sullichin]

when ppl say "so and so and me"

c'mon it is "so and so and I"

ppl? Ugh.

 

[slayn]

"prolly"

Ooh, ah, you saved two fucking letters. Just stop it.

but with prolly I don't have to go all the way over to the 'a' (and if I'm wrong about there being an a, which I very well could be, prolly also means I don't have to think how to spell it.)

plus I'm well known for mistyping it as prolyl.

Infamous doesn't meant very famous you wankers.

Actually, it does. Means very famous for having a bad reputation. Or, notorious, if you will. It's derived more from "infamy" than it is "famous."

 

[dog$]

sequal and rediculous irritate me quite a bit.

The one I hate the most is your/you're, because I have to see "you're" misused all the time from idiot Online Quizzes.

For all intensive purposes....DIE!!!!!!!

I wish I could recall an example I saw once in school...supposedly it was from an actual letter, I think from Colonial times, and without changing any words at all, simply a few punctuations, it completely changed the meaning of the letter and was literally(and in this case, literally is being used properly) the difference between life and death.

 

[Miniboss]

It's "people", not "ppl".

It's "bomb", not "bomba".

It's (_____) is crying... NOT (_____) am cry!

It's not really a grammar thing, but I hate when people say "'nuff said." It's so fucking arrogant, and if the preceeding comment was really enough said, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID ANYTHING AFTER IT.

"refer back" - how fucking redundant is this phrase?

How so?
