Today I spent 30 minutes talking to a crazy street preacher while his buddy yelled at a big crowd of college students

I think I hate the cocksucking assholes who gather around like vultures to heckle these guys and yell liberal slogans more than the religious dudes

The fundamentalist feller was nice and polite and soft spoken despite his mental challenges

The Geek

A little while ago, I had a bit of an epiphany why I tend to harp on poor grammar and misuses of punctuation on a forum such as this.

Bad grammar is the southern accent of the internet.

Sure, we may be able to deduce what you're trying to say and you may be a very intelligent person in general. However, once you start up in that good ol' boy drawl, you will nearly always give the first impression of a dumbass redneck retard.

Kazhiim

Yeah, let's go ahead and assume someone's a dumbass because of their accent

Weaver

no it ain'tn't

Fandyien

Are you fucking serious?

An accent has literally no bearing on anything other than the way speech sounds

Kazhiim

conjunction junction, what's your function?

letting me use the word "shouldn't've"

Correct, but it gives an impression.

I like the dudes that stand around with placards saying things like Jesus is Coming and The end is nigh.

Also I wish that pressing shift and t would make the t go uppercase but it is not to be on this keyboard.

Kazhiim

If you're easily swayed by stupid things, maybe

Kazhiim

I'll go into a southern accent sometimes, if it's late and I'm tired

it's an easier way of speakin'

It really shouldn't. The only reason it leaves you with an impression is because you've been taught that southerners are idiots for some reason.

I understand it's not something entirely conscious, but sometimes you just have to back up and think, "Why the hell do I hate on people with a slightly different style of pronunciation than me?"

My aunt in Texas thinks Mexicans aren't allowed into Heaven on account of being shiftless layabouts.

You have a fantastic aunt.

Also, this guy, after I talked to him politely for 30 minutes, looked me right in the fucking eye and told me I was going to burn in hell. Right after shaking my hand.

Something about that feels wrong.

So who does all the gardening in Heaven?

i want to use "faggots" plural as an adverb

"That movie was faggots."

Correcting other folks' grammar on the internet is the small man's way of compensating for gross deficiencies in self-image. Drawing everyone's attention to a misplaced apostrophe is an exercise in verbal masturbation; humiliation and establishment of social hierarchy is clearly the goal. After all, a person sincerely interested in someone else's grammatical self-improvement could just as easily use a PM.

And personally, I'd rather come off as a "dumbass redneck retard" than someone whose self-esteem is so low that he's forced to assert his imagined intellectual superiority by enforcing a set of largely unnecessary, arbitrary linguistic rules in a community of people almost totally uninterested in his "corrections", or in the psychological shell-game he's playing with himself.

Alternately, communication is a diachronic process, not a synchronic entity. So just back the fuck off, already.

Seph

That was a really heterosexual post, naporeon
