Is that really that shocking? How old's your brother? Bottles of wee and mystery yellow liquid aside, that sounds like fairly standard student paraphernalia.

Actually, I don't think I'd contemplated the full magnitude of the mystery liquids first time around. There's been a few instances at uni where, due to a combination of pressing urinary need and extreme lethargy I've weed in my sink, but I've never yet been that desperate. You never know, maybe it wasn't wee but an interesting science experiment. You could have just poured away the cure for AIDS.

People who bring TROLLEYS FULL OF THINGS to the quick checkouts at supermarkets. I can see no argument against giving these morons the death penalty.

People that refer to the sitcom Friends in written form as 'F.R.I.E.N.D.S.'.

Also, the advert for Stella Artois 4%, which features the most appallingly typical English ignorance of a foreign language I have ever seen.

My school is now infected with swine flu- my english teacher and some year 7 kid both have it.

But for some reason our school isn't going to close unless a "significant number" of people get the 'flu, which sucks. Sad

It's because swine flu isn't dangerous.

Sorry, The Media!

CNN'S SOLEDAD O'BRIAN DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO USE THE WORD "LITERALLY"

WHEN DESCRIBING THE PAIN THAT JACKSON'S DEATH HAS CAUSED SHE SAID "IT LITERALLY TEARS YOUR HEART OUT"

NO

YOUR HEART IS STILL IN YOUR CHEST AND NOT ON THE FLOOR YOUR HEART WAS NOT LITERALLY TORN OUT

SHE ALSO SAID THE WORLD WAS LITERALLY SARAH PALIN'S OYSTER

THE WORLD CERTAINLY DOESN'T LOOK LIKE AN OYSTER TO ME HOW ABOUT YOU?!

POOR SPEAKERS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE NEWS

I JUST HATE HER SO MUCH I DON'T CARE HOW HOT SHE IS

She's pretty damn unattractive what the hell is wrong with you people.

Also, it's interesting how you get angrier about that than I do.

It's not just that she uses it incorrectly (although that is enough alone to cheese me off, granted), but she uses it CONSTANTLY, and incorrectly. She uses "literally" the way an air-headed teenager uses "like." It's as if it's she's trying to sound smarter than she really is, exept that she's decided she only needs ONE big word to do it with.

Mmm yeah, normally I'd be all for the evolution of language and descriptivism and what-have-you - if people want to affix a different meaning to a word who are we to stop them, just look at "decimate", "nice", and so on - but in the case of "literally" I just can't support it. Probably because this new meaning of "literally" doesn't have any meaning at all: it means "not literally, but I wanted to emphasise my metaphor and extend my sentence with a pointless qualifier".

It makes me so mad that I am literally making a post about it.

I'd like to think that anyone in favor of the, "evolution" of language, such as it is these days, doesn't know about these.

Yeah, I'd also be all for the evolution of language if it were decided by anyone who knows WHAT THE F[spoiler:227452c29d]UN[/spoiler:227452c29d]K ABOUT IT.

Evolution of language isn't something you control. It's something you monitor. The unwashed hoi polloi start using or misusing words and there's nothing else to do but add them to the dictionary.

Also, I like cracked.com. They're funny and interesting. But you have to double check every single thing they tell you because they're just too damn misleading.

Did you read about Dock Ellis? That s[spoiler:0105ea1141]hi[/spoiler:0105ea1141]t's insane!

It does kind of bugger my buggery receptacle that someone would let their talent go to semi-waste like that though.

Since when have we resorted to populating our dictionaries with awful puns? Honestly, the majority of those fifteen "words" are better left as punch lines.

(THREEQUEL LOL)

Well I'm here now! Although honestly I don't see what everyone is getting worked up about. Squashing already existing words together or attaching affixes to words they usually aren't attached to is pretty much how English has always invented new words. It seems silly now but generations down the line no-one's going to notice.

The only one that annoys me is grrl, and that's just for the lack of vowels.
