ARGH! If you're going to say wow and only wow just say wow. We don't need the ', just wow' qualifier |
|
GODDAMMIT!
:argh:
Here, unoriginal bastards, I'll type it out of for you so you can cut and paste and reply with
Wow, just wow
go for it.

1. But what if we do it with a period instead? Like, "Wow. Just wow." |
|
Edited on Sat Feb-09-08 01:17 PM by Redstone
No, guess that's not actually any better. Never mind.
But hey, at least I didn't reply with one of those "one-word-sentence series," like "Best. Fucking. Rant. Ever."

9. Nice to see someone else is deeply annoyed by the one-word sentence series. |
|
I hate that. (I.Just.Fucking.Hate.It.)
But seriesly, I just cringe when I see "Best.Whatever.Ever."

13. Never seen it? It's all over DU, though infrequently. Usually as a post subject, like: |

"Worst. Fucking. Movie. Ever."

but never, specifically Best.Whatever.Ever.

But the period is my favorite punctuation mark! I don't know if you can ever overuse a period. Question marks, yes. Exclamation points, absolutely. Not so much with periods though. Well, unless you're doing one of these numbers "............................" but in that case, that's an extremely long ellipsis, not a period.

21. Hey, sweets! You know what, I think I'm in love...a woman who knows what an ellipsis is, |
|
AND that it's a singular word.
(Don't tell your husband what I just said, OK? I won't be telling Mrs R, either.)

2. How about something more emphatic, like "Wow! Just, wow!" |
|
Or, "Holy fucking tapdancing wow on a Triscuit?"

7. I'd prefer the triscuit option |
|
as soon as the word 'just' is in there, it's no longer just wow. It's two wows with a just in the middle. It's a just sandwich.
Wow.
Maybe I am insane, and all the posters here telling me to get help are right

I've always like all the iterations of that theme.

5. Of course that's the wrong way to do it. All grammar-nazis know it should be |
|
"Wow. Just... wow." The ellipses imply a pause to consider if there's anything else worth saying. Only douchebags and freepers would type it the way you did.

20. Ellipsis, not ellipses. And it's singluar, not plural. |
|
Hey, you wanted a Grammar Nazi? You got one.
Dang, this thread is getting to be fun. And I could use some fun on a gloomy, cold, and rainy afternoon such as this.
(Grammar Nazis: Note my use of the "Oxford comma" after the word "cold." I believe in the Oxford Comma. You can argue about its legitimacy, but you'll take my Oxford Comma away from me when you pry it from my cold, dead hand.)

I was taught English Grammar in England, and we were always taught that there is no last comma before an 'and'. I throw down the grammar-nazi gauntlet on you, Sir!

54. Of course, if an ellipsis comes at the end of a sentence, there must be a fourth |
|
dot (indicating a period) at the end. As in: The man who insisted on using the arbitrary and quirky "Oxford comma," was found lying face-down on his bed, his tight fist wrapped around nothing but air....

33. The cable assembly one and the connector one should have basically-matching code, |
|
but they don't, as you know. If you can find a way to get them "in sync" with one another, please do. I need to be able to make minor changes (such as who gets a bcc of the information) without having to do it a different way on each version.
Make it clean, make it understandable, and send me a bill when you're done. I have two potential new customers for that software, so there may be more work to follow - and for one of the potential customers, I may need your database expertise as well.
Christ, it's 2 PM already? I gotta get out of here and get to work!

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."
"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"
His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.
Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"
