"almighty" should never be used as synonymous with "great" or "enormous" even in informal situations

Like, doesn't it like, bother you when like, someone says "like" too much? Like, it's really annoying, and you want to like, punch them like, in their jaw, or whatever?

Well that's just a way to say "the difference is not significant" while being a bitch.

Whaaaat seriously? I see it all the time. To be clear I was talking about strictly on the internet. There is always someone that does this every time I go to some other forum, and a lot of times people leave comments like this in places like youtube and NG. Many times it is done in the place of a commas, and more often than not they are females who love anime (no I am not kidding, I am saying this from experience).

I hate when people pluralize with an apostrophe. They do it all the time around here, too. I see it everywhere, including "professional" signs, newspapers, etc.

Do you mean putting the apostrophe in the wrong place? I know I fuck it up sometimes.

I see ellipsis overdose a lot on YouTube too. I noticed that people who like being "dark" use ellipses a lot.

Haha yeah exactly! It really gets to me, I can't even see why they would think it is a good idea.

Same goes with Exclamation and Question Marks. They also seem to get overused much like the Elipses.

I mean when you go to write a word in plural form, but instead of just tacking on an "s", you have to throw in an apostrophe for some undiscernible reason.

Example:
"I had a fun time with the guys last night."
vs.
"I had a fun time with the guy's last night."

It really pisses me off, especially when I see it in places like newspapers, where the reporters are supposed to be experienced writers who know their own first language fairly well and they have editors to spot these mistakes on top of it all.

if you get upset about "same difference" it's equally valid to get upset about any idiom because they're all really weak in literal meaning.

I think it's hilarious when someone on the Internet tells someone else they're "retarted". Also, Internet providers should start checking if people know the difference between there, their and they're. THEY'RE AWAY AND THEIR DOG IS OVER THERE. How hard is it?

I think it's annoying when people say "I could care less" which signifies that it's possible for them to care less, instead of "I couldn't care less".

Also yeah plurality with an apostrophe is really lame. Reading it is like listening to someone with a really annoying accent/speech impediment.
You should watch this movie.

This movie is good.

I think "I could care less" is actually a weaker ("clean") version of "I could give a shit/two shits/a fuck/damn", which is meant to be ironic. its intent just becomes muddled because "care less" is, for this intent and purpose, a mealy-mouthed little bitch of a verb/adverb combination.

on the note of that sentence I just typed, "it" is a pronoun and its possessive form doesn't require an apostrophe, and the phrase "for all intensive purposes" is just about meaningless.

also, an analogy refers to a comparison drawing similarities between two given things- an actual thing being compared (that's to say not the comparison itself) are called analogues.

I'm gonna be honest, although I think that I pretty much excel at English(just saying), I can't spell "disappointed". It's spelled right in this post, but that's because of the spellchecker. In essays I always fuck it up :wiebel:
