So I looking at HuffPo and they linked to an article on LATimes online about debunking scientific misconceptions and something struck me as odd. the last line of the first paragrpah, "and douching with Coca-Cola is not an effective contraceptive method."
Is this something that people actually believe? Ladies? Is this a common misconception that anyone of you ever had or know anyone that has???
ETA nevermind. I read the whole article. "Coca-Cola douches for pregnancy prevention were a part of folklore in the 1950s and 1960s, before the contraceptive pill. People thought that the acidity of the soda would kill sperm and that the classic Coke bottle provided a convenient "shake and shoot" applicator."
WHAT THE F*CK WAS WRONG WITH PEOPLE IN THE 50S AND 60S???
Here's the crazy ass article.

"Is the LA Times a legitimate newspaper still"
Move the "still" to after "Times" and you have a proper sentence.
It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

Posted: 12/20/08 at 10:59amthank you Stalin, but frankly i couldn't give a ****.

That is painfully obvious by your horrid use of your written word.
Obviously you also do not know history. Stalin would never have cared how his language was mangled.
Now had you chosen Shakespeare, Walt Whitman, or another author than your failed insult might make more sense.
However, based on your past posts I'm not sure you know how to read.

I used Stalin because i've seen people freak out for being called a grammar nazi.
So, what's up your ass today?

nada, just don't like when people butcher the language.
I'm proud to be a grammar Nazi, and I suppose that would make me a Jewish Grammar Nazi, lol.
My mother majored in both English and math, so one of them had to stick. I got the English gene, my sister the math gene.
I just have to correct people, it's not my fault, it's in the genes. It's a disease, but it's not fatal.

Posted: 12/20/08 at 1:09pmI have an english degree as well, and when i write in a non conversational manner i have near perfect grammar, I correct people as well, but only in person when we're actually speaking. I could pretty much give a **** if you post on a message board in perfect grammar, as long as the sentence makes sense and is, you know, not wrtn lyk ths, I'm good, i have bigger things to worry about, like which one of you queers stole my girdle.

I hate to bring it up but there is a typo in your rant.

No need for thanks. (The word English should be spelled with a capital E.)
