"as long as I make someone out there laugh or say "Hey, that's a pretty good point!" I will be happy."

Well, what about those of us who go there and say "Whoah! That's a whole pile of jim dandy examples of seriously bad English! Why I've met Chinamen in restaurants with more respect for my language!"

Vincey sent me a private than you note thanking me for posting his quotes, and to keep doing it.

I was all, like, "Man, he WANTS me too... OH NO, SOMEHOW HE"S TWISTING THIS TO HIS OWN ADVANTAGE! IT'S A TRAP! OH, GOD IT'S A TRAAAAAP!!"

And then I remembered that this is Vince. My guess? He doesn't even know the criteria I use to select his quotes. It's not how mean they are, or how ignorant or biased or infuriating. No, they all have just one thing in common. They are really bad writing. And I'm not talking content here, just really, really bad writing. Each and every one has serious flaws of gramar, syntax, word use, construction or all of the above.


OH DAMN, I GAVE AWAY MY CRITERIA!
