Grammar Lesson

I hate to do this. Actually, I'm happy to do this. I get so irritated by horrible grammar. Like if you're out of high school, you should have decent grammar. If you're out of high school & have terrible grammar -- SHAME ON YOU! Educate yourself by remembering these simple rules...

The difference between you're and your is as follows:
"You're" - Contraction for You are. "You're an idiot."
"Your" - Describing the possessor as someone else (you). "Your grammar is atrocious."

"Irregardless" is NOT a word. Quit using it, unless you're quoting the movie, "Mean Girls." The correct word is "regardless." This one is EASY. Next time you say "irregardless" follow it with a simple, "Oh I'm sorry I'm an effing moron and promoting the use of a word that doesn't exist."

All you apostrophe-happy people, click here.

From now on, my precious people, I WILL be correcting your grammar. You also have permission to correct mine. However, if you start attacking my blog grammar, you will be stopped. This is a BLOG, and I don't care about having PERFECT grammar HERE. If I do break my own rules (posted above) you can call me on it, but everything else is off limits -- until I feel another need to educate you on grammar.

That is all.

Carry on.

Seriously? Seriously.



Are you effing kidding me?
I like Fall, like the leaves and sun, & 50 degrees. Not this rainy schtuff.

Twenty-Six.


26
= 2 x 13
= 5 + 6 + 7 + 8

There are 26 letters in the English alphabet.

Precipitevolissimevolmente
with 26 letters is the longest word in the Italian language. It means `as fast as possible'.

December 26 is Boxing Day (except when December 26 is a Sunday).

"God's Number"
is the minimum number of moves needed to solve any disordered Rubik's cube. It is so named because God would only need the smallest number of moves to solve a cube! The research has proved that God's number is 26. Nevertheless, theoretical work suggests that God's Number could be in the 'low 20s'.


26 has also a special divine significance in Gematria because it is the sum of the letter-values of the 'Tetragrammaton', the Hebrew biblical name of God ( יהוה Yahweh): Yod + Heh + Wau + Heh = 10 + 5 + 6 + 5 = 26
The diagram above shows the 'Tetragrammaton' written in Phoenician (blue script), Aramaic (red script) and modern Hebrew (black script).

I'm trying to convince myself that I like being 26.
