For the last fucking time…
It’s would’ve or would have. It is NOT “would of.” Regardless (NOT “irregardless”, which is not even a word) of what you think you’re hearing, “would of” does not even make sense! How can you not see that? Well, aside from the fact that you’re (that would be the contracted form of “you are”, NOT the possessive form, “your”) an illiterate idiot.
“Wreckless” means that a hapless ship did not go down on the briny ocean toss’d. If I must, I will concede that Americans do insist upon calling automobile accidents “wrecks” in spite of the fact that their insurance companies sell accident coverage, not wreck coverage, but I won’t give you “wreckless” for that, either. If I did, “with wreckless abandon” would be the way you drive when you’re late for work and you don’t rear-end the car in front of you. For the love of all things holy and unholy, and all things in between, it’s RECKLESS. Reckless as in not taking the time to reckon the potential outcome of your actions. RECKLESS!
“For all intensive purposes.” I beg your pardon? How can you actually type this and not realise you’ve made a mistake? Jesus wept. “FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES”!
If I see, “you’ve got another thing coming” one more time and it does not mean that Amazon had to ship my order in two parts, I’m going to fucking puke. This phrase is the tail-end of a longer one (comes from an old joke, I believe) that goes, “If that’s what you think, you’ve got another think coming.” Although the first part is rarely said aloud (NOT “allowed”), it is implied, and it stands as it is, with “think.”
Advice, advice, ADVICE! You cannot give me “advise” because ADVISE IS A FUCKING VERB!
“I watched with baited breath…” I hope you were watching fish!
Mac – short for “Macintosh”, an Apple computer product name. MAC – Media Access Control. The thing that says “OSX” is a Mac. It may have a MAC, but it is a Mac.
“Wait! I want to go, to!” You want to go to…the store? To…a movie? Perhaps you should go to…an English class!
There is no such thing as a poisonous rattlesnake, viper or adder! A cane toad is poisonous. A poison dart frog is poisonous (if it’s been eating the right insects to create the toxins). A snake, scorpion, stonefish, lionfish, stingray, cone snail, wasp, bee or spider is VENOMOUS. Poison is ingested; venom is injected (or do you not know the difference between those two, either?)
“A hard road to hoe.” I can scarcely believe this phrase exists, and yet…it does. Idiot, how many times have you seen someone hoeing a fucking road? Okay, now how about….a row? You know, like a row of vegetables that one might weed with…oh, I don’t know…how about a….hoe?
“Give credit where credit is do.” “Do to his poor command of the English language, he appeared to be an illiterate fool.” Christ in a sidecar. Look at your phone bill. Now look at your utility bill. Okay, now the library books (assuming you have ever in your life actually read a book). What do you see? You see the word “due”, which, in the first sentence–means “owed or payable”, and (though somewhat less correctly) in the second, “because of”. The word “do” is a verb that means (among others) “to perform, to engage in” or even “to make” (I suppose) and has nothing to do with either credit or reasons. If you spoke actual English, you wouldn’t make this mistake because THE GODDAMNED WORDS AREN’T EVEN PRONOUNCED THE SAME WAY! “Due” sounds like “dew” (hope that won’t confuse you) and “do” sounds like the doo in “doo-doo” (you’re familiar with that one, aren’t you?)
*pant* *pant* Okay…that’s better. Note to self…never read comments on any website, ever.
P.S. If you’re going to correct someone else’s “grammer”, for the love of $deity, spell the word correctly. In spite of the fact that “grammer” is not even a word, if it were a word, it would be what a three-year-old calls his mother’s mum.
