Q- Favorite Quote: If you are ever forced to take a chemistry class, you will probably see, at the front of the classroom, a large chart divided into squares, with different numbers and letters in each of them. This chart is called the table of the elements, and scientists like to say that it contains all the substances that make up our world. Like everyone else, scientists are wrong from time to time, and it is easy to see that they are wrong about the table of elements. Because although this table contains a great many elements, from the element oxygen, which is found in the air, to the element aluminium, which is found in cans of soda, the table of elements does not contain one of the most powerful elements that make up our world, and that is the element of surprise.

I’m so very sick and tired of the pathetic punctuation and grammar skills that most teenagers and young adults have these days. I’m only 20, yet I’m just so much better then the rest of my peers. Why is that?

I can understand a typo here and there - when texting/tweeting quickly and you send it off before you realise your mistake. That’s okay, because every other time you’re correct. But when people constantly use the incorrect thing over and over again, because they are either A) STUPID, or B) just don’t think at all - there is really is no excuse for it.

So I thought I’d cover a couple of the most BASIC things that most people screw up; causing many headaches and /facepalms.

“There are two simple situations when apostrophes are used. The first is to denote ownership and the second to indicate an abbreviation.”

YOUR - YOU’RE

YOUR - is used when talking about ownership - meaning, something that either yourself or someone else does/does not own or hold possession of. Simple.

This is your cat. This is your home. That girlfriend is not yours. Take that DVD out of your pants, thief - it is not yours.

YOU’RE - is a combination/contraction of two words - ‘you’ and ‘are’. The apostrophe is chucked in the middle to join the two words into one simple one. If you’re unsure of when to use a contraction like this, just expand it and read it aloud (ie: If you are unsure of…). If it doesn’t sound right, then don’t use it.

You’re not going to that concert. And you’re going to do what, exactly? What the hell do you think you’re doing?

THEY’RE - THEIR - THERE

THEY’RE - this is also another contradiction of two words - ‘they’ and ‘are’. Once again, if you’re unsure of when to use this, just expand it read it to yourself. If it sounds wrong, don’t use it.

They’re going to the football tonight. No, they’re my cookies, not Jane’s. They’re not going to match my tranny shoes.

THEIR - like ‘your’, this word is used when talking about ownerships. Except this one is specially used for multiple ‘owners’.

That was meant to be their gift, not mine. They’ve forgotten their bags again. I’ve forgotten their names again.

THERE - is used when talking about a place, whether it be a physical one or an abstract one. Remember - here, there. You can’t have ‘there’ without ‘here’. And remember that ‘here’ is about a place. Both are about places. Somewhere where you can be placed at.

There is where she was murdered. I shall put my keys over there. T as in Tim look over there - it’s Robert Losier.

There is a difference between slang and proper English. You either talk one or the other - don’t go mixing the two otherwise you just appear to be more of a bigger tool the the first tool using only slang. I despise people who talk like “I luv u so much baby, ur da sweetest in da world!”. You don’t look cool at all. GOD no. I know that back in the early 2000’s most mobile phones only had the ability of a maximum of 120 characters per text; alot of abbreviation/slang had to happen and it’s where all this ‘acceptance’ of horribly abbreviated words began. But times have changed. ALOT. You can now go OVER 120 characters per text message. Sure, it’ll cost you extra. And hey - emails and facebook updates don’t really HAVE character limitations. SO GO NUTS.

Maybe if schools actually taught REAL English skills up until graduation, as opposed to doing ‘creative essays’ and ‘film reviews between two different demographics’, then maybe we wouldn’t have this epidemic of stupid children at our feet.

Well now. World of Warcraft is still down for extended maintenance. I should be eating breakfast and working on my assignment, but everyone likes reading my confusing rants, so what the hell?

Now that I’ve taken myself out of that relationship, I am starting to feel a lot better. I’ve gained a lot of self respect back by not letting myself feel used. I’m less concerned about who he’s sleeping with and overall, my head is much clearer to talk things over. There are both positive and negative things about this situation now, whereas a couple of weeks ago I would’ve said it was all negative. I realised something this morning that I need to talk to him about, but that will have to wait until this afternoon.

As for dance, I’m the best again! Well, only for one of our routines, but still! I’ve been moved to centre front for this particular routine. It focuses on flexibility and strength and I can practically bend myself in half. I’ve been pushing myself really hard and I do feel that my flexibility is more level now than it was when I was younger. There are certain things that I can do better now than when I was a teenager. I think my hips may have leveled out (I was born with one of my legs around my head, so one of my hips is a lot higher than the other!) I can do a lot of the things which require you to be perfectly flat in middle splits now and I always struggled with that. There’s also a lot of things that I can’t do as well as I could, things which require lower back flexibility and strength. And headstands. My head’s gotten soft.

All in all, if I can get my study on track, my life should keep getting better from hereonin!
