Guilty Pleasures Meme, Bob's Angry Flower, Your / You're, Mod's Peeves, Bras

Write an entry about 5 Guilty Pleasures, and tag five people to do it.

1. I like chips... I've been known to eat an entire Pringles tube in one sitting.
2. I like being an OCDL... an obsessive-compulsive detail lunatic, that is. Details, plans, percentages, stuff nobody would think to include in a database but me... I like categorization!
3. I like having beer... maybe a little TOO much. But that does not mean that I've had many keg parties, as Eric M. claims. *rolleyes*
4. I like writing in my books sometimes, even though I know better. Not just little notes, either... "families" and "classes" that I make up from the names / initial letters of the words on the page. No worries, however: I would never do that to other people's books!
5. I like being a spelling / grammar Nazi. Sorry, peeps... or not, mwahahaha.

I dunno... whoever wants to do it.


Ooh, and speaking of my #5....

DANDYWILBER'S FREE TUTORIAL ON HOW TO TYPE / SPELL / SPEAK CORRECTLY! Or: How to sound mildly intelligent!

When to properly use your or you're (you are)
YOURyour adj. The possessive form of you 1. Used as a modifier before a noun: your boots; your accomplishments 2. A person's; one's: The light switch is on your right So, what does it mean? Your is a word that states that the possession of some object or abstract idea is in the possession of you. The hat is not you're hat. It is YOUR hat. As you're cannot be used in place of your, the same is true for the reverse of this lesson. Your cannot be used in a sentence when the meaning of the word should be "you are," such as "you are not very intellectual" or "you are in possession of the grammar skills of a 4-year-old." This is where YOU'RE comes in, not your. See the right side, YOUR right side (of the computer screen) for instructions on how to use YOU'RE. Some examples: This is your pink flamingo. Our Lady Peace is your favorite band. Please, stop your car and run into oncoming traffic.	YOU'REyou're Contraction of you are. contraction n. The act or process of shortening 1. The shortening of a word, or of two words, by the omission of a letter or letters, or by reducing two or more vowels or syllables to one; as, ne'er for never; can't for can not; don't for do not; it's for it is. Huh? In short, you're means you are. We do all know what "you" and "are" mean, don't we? I should surely hope so! One uses you're when they wish to speak regarding a person. Some examples: You're not a very nice individual. You're coming with me this evening. You're not serious, are you?
Post this tutorial in your journal!!

I admit that the above tutorial beats this image by far. :D


I'm not surprised that Elsabet wanted to ban me from the LJ Vancouver community on July 20 because I was constantly correcting people's spelling and grammar. Reference: apparently, spelling / grammar Nazis are a PERSONAL pet peeve of hers. *shakes head* If we don't have good spelling and grammar / fair moderation, what DO we have? *cry* I mean, I personally don't like Satanism... but I allowed a post about it to remain on GJ RQ, because I recognize that people might want to discuss it. (yeah, I know... Satanism is a WHOLE different animal than your standard-issue spelling / grammar Nazi!)

Your Life Path Number is 4

Your purpose in life is to build your vision. You are practical and responsible. You work hard, knowing that there are no shortcuts in life. You work for a better life for yourself and those you love, but you are not an idealist. Trustworthy and honest, you also demonstrate great courage. People can count on you. In love, you are a loyal and committed partner. You are the ideal spouse. You don't give up easily, and sometimes you can be too stubborn and unwilling to change. You also can be too conservative at times. You sometime miss out on good opportunities. Also remember that not everyone can work as hard as you, as disappointing as that is!
