I’m part of a group chat which is a planned trip to Orlando in 2018 (now I don’t feel like pissings all my savings away by going to a place like Orlando, sorry Orlando) and one of them was going on about renting a truck.
Now I had to butt in on this because:
-Majority of people on the chat are girls between 18-22.
-Like 2 people (including me) drive
-No one has a C licence to actually drive a truck, let alone that I never want to learn how to drive a truck because….why? Also I’ve spent bloody enough learning how to drive…
-Renting a truck would be a) ridiculously expensive b) you could legally fit 3 people into a truck, anyone riding in the back would get in crap if you were caught by the police c) tolls and parking costs- aye, aye aye.
Anyways I said it was a stupid idea and the best would be to rent a people carrier or 2 if necessary, and I got a load of “don’t be such a downer ASJ, my god!”. Well if you’re actually planning on going to Orlando you have to have an accurate, realistic idea and renting a stupid truck is not realistic :/

I think renting you gotta be 25 in the US.

If it’s like Ireland, you just pay extra because you’re a “young driver”- I love that idea. A person who’s 25 who has had their full licence for a year paying less than the person who is 24 who has been driving for 7 years…makes sense right?

I mean it’s like a law of the universe that if you’re older you’re automatically better at everything. There’s nobody older than me that’s less mature and than me. Nobody at all.

It’s like that old joke:

What?

Offline It really bothers me when people use adjectives in place of adverbs. When I try to help people out and correct them so that maybe the next time they won’t make that same mistake nor will they sound so stupid, they get offended and don’t want to be corrected. This also bothers me because if I were to say something wrong I would want to be corrected, so I don’t understand how some people can be content with having poor English.

Just because it is becoming increasingly more common to use adjectives in place of adverbs it does not mean that people don’t sound stupid for doing it.

I bet some day it will sound normal, and to many people it already does. And stupid may be subjective, but my feelings are not.

My favourite one (not, I’ve posted here at least 3 times about it) is the apparent removal of the perfect tense in Hiberno English.
I done, I seen instead of I’ve seen/I saw or I’ve done/I did.
Lads, English isn’t that bloody difficult you’ve all been speaking it since you were about 1, it’s basic grammar ffs.
A friend of mine is studying English in college and still says “I seen, I done” makes me want to slap her around the back of the head and I’m a non-violent person.

“She ran so good“
I just saw this one on my cousin’s snapchat story a couple minutes ago. If you pay more attention to how people talk, you will notice it everywhere.

One thing I notice is American 9/11 operators always say “where you at?” instead of “where are you?”- it sounds so weird. I think the fact that they all say it means it’s a part of training but even if I was lying in the street dying from a stab wound I’d still say “it’s where are you not where you at?” and then die.

“Where you at?” doesn’t bother me, but I guess that’s because that’s just what a lot of people say where I live. I personally only say it in a text as a joke, though.
I’ve got a friend who was once corrected for saying that, and she got very upset because she said that phrase is part of her language (African-American Vernacular English), and that to correct her for saying that is racist. That’s what she would always say when I corrected her grammar, so I learned very early to just let it be.

Offline People who make and insist everyone must follow their stupid little pointless rules that benefit only themselves because they put them in to the detriment of others. This happened to me today and i was livid and i made it known. The reason why they wouldn’t yield at all was pathetic, made absolutely no sense and showed no decency or humanity, they’re only concern was the rule must followed and not be broken.
