Remember the 60-some-odd-thousand redundancies I told you about in an earlier post? Here's another one used frequently. I love you people. You certainly make my job easier in keeping this blog rolling along. I may never run out of these.
One of my favorites is when you refer to someone as a "stupid idiot." Let me ask you this. Have you ever come across a "smart" idiot? Perhaps you've recently seen "reasonably intelligent but somewhat misunderstood idiots."
They don't exist. If you're an idiot, you're probably stupid. Unfortunately, that's what the word implies. You just have to live with that. You may very well be nice, but you're an idiot. Accept it.
Come on, folks. Choose your words carefully and think about what comes out of your pie hole. . .even if the guy next to you thinks you're a "stupid idiot." He'll learn. He just doesn't know about this blog yet, but he will. He will.
About Me
- Random Musings
- Obviously, the picture is not of me. It's our pride and joy, Daisy. She's a lot better looking than I am, so I figured you'd want to look at her instead. I'll write the posts, however. She can't. She doesn't have opposable thumbs. Currently, I teach high school English, and, since I'm trying to improve the use of language in 16-year-olds, I thought I'd branch out and give some pointers to adults, too. Hope you're not offended. It's just my way of improving the world -- one day at a time. Oh, by the way, I'm always available for freelance writing/editing jobs -- and I'm pretty inexpensive, so. . .
