YOU'RE idiots!

I would like to welcome you all to the very first ever JENNY RANT HOUR! Brought to you by ME!

I've been on the internet for many years now. I will not say I'm proud of this fact by any means, but I will admit that a lot of the grammar, spelling and punctuation I've learned throughout the years was from chatting. That's right kids, everything I learned in basic English flew out the window once I was introduced to Cocaine at 16. I am by no means a "grammar nazi", or anal rententive about spelling errors.. but Jesus Christ folks, how can grown ass adults not know the differences in your and you're?

Let me make a list to maybe help some people out (straight from Dictionary.com), and also vent in the process!

your
adj. The possessive form of you.
  • Used as a modifier before a noun: your boots; your
    accomplishments.

  • A person's; one's: The light switch is on your right.
  • Informal. Used with little or no sense of possession to
    indicate a type familiar to the listener: your basic three-story frame
    house.


  • Please take note that nowhere does it list "ur" as a short version, kthx.

    you're
    Contraction of you are.


    Also note that nowhere does it list "ur" or "u r" as a short version, kthx.


    Now I know folks on the interweb can be pretty simple, so I'm not going to even start on the there, their and they're's just yet. When I feel YOU'RE ready, sure.

    I will, however, break down the then and than's for you as best as possible.

    than
    conj.

    1. Used after a comparative adjective or adverb to introduce the second element
      or clause of an unequal comparison: She is a better athlete than I.

    2. Used to introduce the second element after certain words indicating
      difference: He draws quite differently than she does.
    3. When. Used especially after hardly and scarcely: I had
      scarcely walked in the door than the commotion started.


    then
    I'll make this simple and just say that when you aren't meant to use than, THEN use then. ;)


    Before I come to the conclusion of this, I would like to remind you retards that shortening ALREADY SHORT WORDS make me want to ball up my fist and shove them down your throats.

    Examples:
    b does not equal BE
    u does not equal YOU
    ur does not equal YOU ARE
    c does not equal SEE


    You get the idea, kiddos. If this wasn't simple enough, I suggest putting down the drugs, picking up a dictionary, and read, read, READ!

    We all knew this time would come, my dear Livejournal readers. Blame this on me growing up some, but I've started to become uneasy at the whole idea of anyone and everyone reading my thoughts and personal information. Not to mention how tired I am of the drama that starts from certain morons reading things I say. There are certain people I don't want reading this that do, and I'm putting a stop to that now. Don't bother wasting your time adding me if you aren't going to comment w/ at least your name. I won't be adding you back unless you do. Thanks. And so there isn't any confusion, I was formally EXPORT. I purchased a rename token and switched names.

    FRIENDS ONLY
    Comment to be considered.
