Thank God I Had A Teacher Who Branded 'A' Space 'Lot' Into My Head (Nicely)

 Alot is better than you at everything.

An in case you missed it the first time: How A Fish Almost Destroyed My Childhood, which is both painful and funny. The Year The Easter Bunny Died approaches the same level of wincing laughter.

That is too too funny and now I'm going to use those as my coping mechanisms too. Haha.

Here is a LJ facepalm grammar story for you... I had this girl on my flist who writes fic... And she would complain sometimes about people using poor grammar/spelling, yadda yadda. She constantly spelled "a lot" as "allot." I wanted to strangle her.

*winces*

Had she ever been corrected?

[mistaria.livejournal.com]

I believe I corrected her once (as nicely as possible of course) but she still does it to this day.

Then she has no excuse.

That fish article is so hilarious. I actually laughed out loud when I got to the bit with her running to her dad, awash in blood and incomprehensible. XP Poor baby. <3

I laughed so hard my sides hurt.

Aren't they, though?

I was sitting in the middle of my Professional Writing and Editing class and nearly peed myself at the Fish story.

I think most of my class believes I'm psychotic now. My teacher wanted to look at it and see what was funny (not in a mean way, he was really just curious) and I closed out before he could and was like, "oops."

Not to sound parental, but of all the classes to pay attention in, Writing and Editing is pretty damn high up there.

The Fish story will be just as funny after class.

Haha. It wasn't at an inappropriate time. I was sitting there waiting for him to come over, look at my screen and tell me that my Pamphlet was done and I could print it. He was still a couple people down and I was screwing around on LJ and Facebook until he got down to me.

The class was actually kind of bullshit, to me. I didn't learn anything I didn't already know how to do. He didn't really teach anything.

Oh, I HATE classes like that. High on my list of the advantages of graduating is that I DON'T have to take anymore useless classes.

That is so adorable! I want an Alot of my own. *snuggles*

It's like a badass Appa!
