This is not pointed at you jonshoot, but the maker of this meme.

Make good points but be otherwise illiterate and the meme magic doesn't work. You want your meme to hit hard, be pithy, and have people thinking or laughing AT THE MEME. If you are illiterate, people will be thinking about how fucking stupid you are or worse laughing at your stupid ass.

If you don't know the difference between your and you're, or there, their, and they're please leave the meme making to those of us who actually graduated third grade.Attachment Attached File

Can we get one with proper grammar? It makes anyone who uses it look moronic and the message is completely ignored.

Not sure if she meant to misspell syncophant or it was deliberate.

She didn't misspell it; it only has one "n".

Yeah I just found it. I agree, sometimes the memes are too long, misspelled etc. As far as spelling is concerned I rarely bother anymore, I almost automatically convert it mentally. Most people I've known never did get around to learning how to spell, but most ended up fairly wealthy even with spelling so many words wrong. But sometimes information is more important than style or spelling.

That's where that euphemism for combat is from. "Have you seen the syncophant". And "the syncophant in the room" when no one wants to talk about the real problem.

The largest land toady native to Africa and Asia. Blind people can only misidentify parts of it. Some of them think it's a rope, and others think it's a firehose, and some of them feel the legs and think it's a wrinkly umbrella stand that's warm and covered with bristly hair.

While you're at it, use the correct format for writing the decades.  2000s, '80s, etc.  There should be no apostrophe before the "s", although there should be one in front when using only the last two digits.

I thought about doing that, but the formerly incorrect usage has become so prevalent that it's become a secondary standard.

The scope and breadth of grammar and typesetting rules that have morphed into wild new forms since I started writing is kind of breathtaking.

Okay, keep 'thing' singular and it works for that. But now you've got a tense disagreement with 'masks'.

This one hits the hardest for me. I know this is a meme thread, and don't you worry I got memes and don't plan to freeload, but having been to Poland many times, and having seen the absolute hate the Poles have for the Russians, it comes as no surprise that they got shit on as bad as they did.

The city we were going to, Gniezno, is beautiful. It is full of old world and Soviet era relics, but to really get a feel for the shit they went through, go to Wroclaw. Instead of trying to erase bad history, like the American Leftists, they kept everything and added to it. One of the statues is of people walking and sinking into the ground only to re-emerge on the other side. It is to mean that the street where they can not be seen are the days while under the rule of Russia and how unbelievably bad it was.

The women there remember it well. I would go to this little grocery store in Gniezno and buy soda and whatever because the woman, Kristina, who worked there spoke okay english and we could actually communicate. The fact that she was hot and an incredible lay had nothing to do with it. Anyway, on Sundays all the babushkas would hit that market to buy meat and fish like clockwork. I show up all six feet tall and good looking and she says hi to me over the heads of the old women and we start talking in English. As one all the babushkas rotated to look at me and start jabbering like Jawas. I asked what they were saying. She said that they had only really seen Americans on television before us, and never as close as I was, and never talked to them. I really wanted to know more. Their stories were of starving in a city, getting abused by Russians, and rations of things they never needed. When they were hungry, they got asswipe. When they needed soap, they got so much asswipe they couldn't use it all, and when they got food, it would be rotten.

Kristina told me to bring friends the next Sunday and the old ladies had granddaughters with them who all spoke English. Two of the guys I was there with ended up married to Polish women.

Sorry for the long post in this thread, but this one is particularly true, and absolutely what is in store for us when the Democrats finally have their way.

Anyway, back to the memes.

you even mentioned the word that counts...

now I see the correction above

and there is no conflict with using singular "thing," when referring to a group activity, the wearing of masks
