I'm sick of people using the "random". As in "I saw Sally the other day...that was random" Bullsh*t. Sally is your next door neighbor, jackass.

People do not know the meaning of random. Literally.

Just for fun, I really wanted to edit your post to misspell "engineer" but I thought that would be a dirty trick. Funny, though!

Have you noticed that my daughter speaks like a Yooper with a bad sixth grade education? I've given up hope on correcting her grammar. I sometimes just cringe when she and Christopher have a conversation. "I seen them guys yesterday." "Oh ya? Like, what did youse say?" ARRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH!

Perhaps they meant ironic.

The point was that I learned how to spell it but I am still stoopid

I think up here, we all speak like yoopers. We just dont realize it. Some are worse than others but I don't even notice anymore unless they are "flaming yoopers".

I feel your pain, I had a teacher once try to tell me (and the rest of the class) that Tolkien was pronounced "Toykin." I felt the need to (politely) inform her of this mistake & soon found myself in the principal's office awaiting punishment for my temerity. Regards, GF.

Awesome. I doubt half of what people think is "Awesome" deserves an overwhelming feeling of reverence.

Nothing wrong with a little french RSVP is OK by me.
Bag vs Sachet, one just holds stuff, the latter imparts something to it's surroundings, the French are fun!!!
Now aside from the one "R" one allowed here,

IMHO- we know it's yours you wrote it
IMVHO - just more pretentious
YMMV - ?????

IIRC, YMMV means Your Mileage May Vary.
