Seriously?

 

  Today I took a test on Facebook, which rated my level of English grammar. Now, we all know that I'm a grammar Nazi, yet it claims I missed one! I went through and took the test four more times, but it insists I missed one!! They messed up. I quadruple checked, and all of my answers were definitely correct. Also, they used improper...... grammar in most of the questions. I'm seriously upset by this, what has this world come to?

  I understand that it's just a silly Facebook quiz, but it's testing grammar, which the maker very obviously doesn't know. I can also understand that people make mistakes. I make mistakes, that's for sure! The difference is that I KNOW it, and try my best to use it.. They seriously think it's proper grammar. This is extremely upsetting to me! What have we come to?? Are we back to the cavemen days? Should we all just forget about proper speech and go back to grunting and drawing pictures on walls to communicate? This is ridiculous.

  Now, I don't mean to say that we are all a bunch of hillbillies- We aren't. I'm a cluts. I've fallen down stair more times than you could imagine! But guess what? I know how to walk. I know how to effectively get down a flight of stairs. I mess up, but I do my best. Also,  I don't always play my instruments perfectly..  Yet I know how. I've taken probably at least hundreds of hours working on it. It's something very important for me, so I've taken the time to learn it. Communication is naturally an important piece of everyone's life- Please, take the time to learn it!

 "Our Modern Day Geniuses"

  This one, I don't even want to talk about. This cat claims to have proper English skills, but in the few sentences written, it already displays the ignorance of mankind. It's missing the comma between "numbered," and "humans."
Our days are not numbered humans. They are numbered, and the sentence is directed toward humans. Grr! In simply trying to find an image displaying proper English, I've only run across the opposite. Yet another example of our civilization going down the drain...

That is all.

**Please, warn your children about the dangers 
of improper grammar. The number of grammar related deaths,
this past year alone, has been skyrocketing. 

Don't become a statistic.

Teach your  family. Teach your children. Save a life.
Together, we CAN make a difference!

Jacksonian!

This is my cousin's son, Jackson- Or, as I like to call him, Jacksonian. He's currently in Preschool. Oh, did I mention he's a GENIUS? He's at at about an end-of-first-grade reading level- and I'd say about mid first grade math level. I was seriously blown away by him! Anyway, I thought I'd share this. Don't forget to scroll to the bottom of this page and turn off the music so you can hear him!

Sara

I was recently told by my cousin, Sara, that her life was lacking fulfillment because of my lack of blogging lately (Okay, so maybe you just said you get bored not having more to read... but I like my wording better!), so I decided to make a new post. Of what, you ask? I have no idea. I'm too lazy to actually write about something meaningful, so I'm not going to. Plus I'm too off-of-my-meds to be able to think straight, so anything other than nonsense would just be.. Well, nonsensical! Soo.. This nonsense is for you.
