Don't all you old people just hate how they're ruining the good grammar of the English language today? It drives me crazy.
You can't "parent" your kids when you're the parent. It's a noun, folks, even an adjective, like a parent company. But nowhere does it say you can use it for a verb. Come on.
And all this nonsense online.
How do you message a message?
Or text a text or text a message?
You can't use those nouns as verbs. But does anyone listen to me?
Noooo.
It's, "Get with it, Mom. Don't fall behind the times just because you hate what we do to the language."
I'm supposed to listen to that?
Don't even get me started on the cutsey-pie symbols and letters meant for words that can be interpreted into anything you want. That'll get you in a heap of trouble one day for sure.
How about typing "your" when you mean "you're"?
Or saying "Febuary" because you're too lazy to throw in the "r".
One thing that really irks my feathers is visa versa. People - puh-lease. It's vice versa. You know - like Miami Vice, or gambling is a sinful vice.
Oh, wait - the Webster's New World says you can say visa versa.
Just. Shoot. Me. Now. PLEASE!
