Anti-climactic movie – movie that has a boring/non-existent climax.
Anti-climatic movie – movie that stays away from weather issues.

Today
More English tidbits. Again, from a presentation on American Indians.
The presenter said that the elders passed their traditions on to the younger generation by storytelling.
The slide said “The elders pasted their traditions on to the younger generation by storytelling.”
- Don’t read word for word from slide.
- I don’t think he meant the old people wrote the traditions on paper and glued them onto the young ones.
Avast, ye landlubbers
Arrr.. I be lovin’ those landlubber programmers over at Ye Olde Facebook.
On any Facebook page, scroll down to the bottom, and click where it says “English (US)” – you can then choose to change your Facebook language.. try English (Pirate) for a happy day
–credits to fellow scallywag Cap’n Jazli Aziz for discoverin’ this ere’ treasure.
On another note, here’s something funny (and tragic at the same time) I saw in class today:
In a presentation on a certain American Indian tribe earlier, a classmate referred to them as being a vicious tribe. But her PPT slide had the sentence “They were a viscous tribe.” VISCOUS?? THEY WERE A STICKY TRIBE?! Garr.. bless me choked blood vessels, matey. Then again, you don’t know what you don’t know. How then are you supposed to move forward in life??
1. Hope you have good, polite, patient guidance 24/7.
2. Read Read Read Read Read!!! rawrrr &#%^%*($%.
Pet Peeve
If one were to ask me what my biggest pet peeve is, I’d say it’s people who don’t have a good grip on the English language but attempt to make a big show of their usage of highfalutin linguistics.
Don’t get me wrong. I like reading great, bombastic sentences that are constructed CORRECTLY. It’s when I read the pitiful, pathetic, sorry, painfully INCORRECT versions of these otherwise beautiful sentences that drives a stake through my heart.
I mean, fuck. Seriously.
I don’t intend to convey the message that my expertise far exceeds everyone else’s, therefore giving me the title of Supreme Judge of English Sentences.
I am simply saying, write to the best of your ability. If you don’t know the meaning / spelling of a word, at least spend a few seconds looking the damn thing up before butchering your otherwise good sentence. 9 times out of 10, there is a better, simpler, more concise way of saying what you want to say.
Then again, some people shouldn’t be allowed to type at all. Period.
