For the things that never make any sense! XD

The place for those OT discussions that you just HAVE to share in a doll themed forum.

I have had comments on my You Tube from those I assume to be Americans who speak English that make less sense then some English as a second language writers. Leet and txt spelling aside, not even getting in to that they can't tell the difference between you're and your, it makes me wonder if they were all educated in California? If you've been to public school here in the last 20 years you know what I'm talking about.

We have a fun little book in our bathroom called Accommodating Broccoli in the Cemetery about the joys of English spelling, words that should be changed, and so forth. Some words have lost sounds and others were changed by people in charge who wanted the words to be closer to their French or Latin roots. As for grammar I remember getting some lessons in sentence structure in the good elementary school I went to, then I went to middle school with 100 other kids in the room and couldn't learn a thing.

You don't have to travel outside of this forum to see similar simple words misspelled and equally atrocious grammar.



I can't remember the movie, but I remember that a line was something like this "instructions written in english translated to chines to make then sent to mexico to be translated back to english" just think trying to make websites using what ever HTML language or mySQL or what ever is one thing, then have to write english for us from some strange language. I have a hard time trying to speak "americalifonexian" language let alone trying to speak anything well.... :lol:

I am reminded again why I love my workplace so much.

Supervisor to coworker: Hey little boy, you want some candy?
Coworker: Sure!

Random randomness....

So if I have a blog that follows the adventures of one of my Obitsu girls but I never do anything adventurous, what was the point in starting the blog? Maybe I didn't think that through too well. :?

My sister sent me this, this morning...

It's almost as good as the hand blower/dryer picture... "Push Button, Receive Bacon"

I've decided to be a bit more verbal.... realizing my stalking/lurking around the forum at 4am is kinda... silent (and maybe a little creepy :lol:)... for a mod...

I have no real idea :/. When I write I look at random things to clear my mind. Chances are it's an artist thing and that's the only one and it's probably 1/12 like most dollhouses are. Nothing says you can't do your own interpretation. I can see Star Trek people living in something like that.

As I was driving to work this morning, I couldn't figure out why my windshield was suddenly so dirty. Then, as I was driving home, I suddenly realized that they were cat paw print/smears. The neighbor hood stray cat used my windshield as a slide! :lol:
