This is why grammar matters!
Seriously. Today on FML I saw the perfect example of why grammar matters. The entry says,
Today, I was flirting via text with a coworker. Things started getting heated, and I wanted to send her a sexy picture. I asked if she had any suggestions. She said, “Your nuts!” She meant, “YOU’RE nuts.” I sent her a photo of my junk. I offended a co-worker with incriminating evidence. FML
Wow. Right there. That’s why. Bad grammar and spelling can actually cause you to commit a crime. If you need any further proof, see the book Eats, Shoots & Leaves. (If you’ve never come across it, the joke in the title is that you can either eat, shoot people and leave, or eat shoots and leaves. “Eats [food], shoots [people], and leaves [the area]” versus “[it] eats shoots and leaves [the vegetation].”)
On a related note, FML is the best website ever. Visit it often. You will feel better about your own life.
Oh and it’s probably always a bad idea to send people pictures of your genitals.
Fuck Her Life for not knowing the difference between “your” and “you’re”…I’d say he dodged a bullet with this one.
Oh my god, no kidding. Especially in that situation. If someone asks you what body part to photograph, “your” anything is going to end badly.
Because I know what a poor grasp of grammar and spelling some people actually have, and because of creative text language, I’d certainly get clarification on something like that!!!! Dumb guy. Dumb dumb guy.
BTW, E,S & L, is one of the best books!
