Commercials and Language

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •    •    •  

Having had the television on all weekend, I noticed that many commercials are now all in Spanish. I am watching basic cable here, not the Spanish speaking channels. From the images on the commercials I can understand what product they are advertising, but their presence as interruptions for all English programming is quite alarming.

I can't be the only one concerned by the lack of proper spelling done by those in my school (at least)!

Dante's "Inferno"......An English Assignment Part 1

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •    •    •  

So in my College Prep English class my teacher is having us read Dante's "Inferno". Here's a little bit of background for those of you who don't have a clue....Dante wrote three poems "Inferno" (Hell), "Purgatorio" (Purgatory) and "Paradiso" (Heaven). Together these three poems make up the "Divine Comedy". Basically it is about Dante being guided thru Hell and Purgatory by Virgil.

"I am fine, thank you, and you?" Thoughts on being a minority

I was riding my bike to the store yesterday when I heard one of my friends shout behind me. Apparently she was heading that way, too. I slowed down to allow her to catch up.

Hukd on Fonikz Werkd Fer Mee! Part II

Tagged:  •    •    •    •  

I thought, perhaps, I was a little critical in my last post. I recently saw a post regarding grammar and spelling on the internet, and I thought I would shed some light on what to do and what not to do, seeing as how all I did was complain and gave absolutely no constructive criticism.

Your atrocious spelling and lack of punctuation and capitalization makes me want to pull my eyes out with my bare hands while screaming, "Go back to your freshman English class, you moron!"

I feel like that a lot of the time.
