Lee. Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 OH GOD WHEN WILL THE MADNESS END"Epic fail" can go and die a miserable death any time now. Fail is a verb. Failure is a noun. Your grammar, therefore, would fall under "failure." Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knnhrvy16 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Oh my hell, let the guy say what he wants. Just ignore it if it bothers you so flippin' much.As for these recent uniform gaffes...Especially the jersey one, man that is awful. How does that even happen?? The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right.

TFoA Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 As for these recent uniform gaffes...Especially the jersey one, man that is awful. How does that even happen??It's like they bought a customized jersey from "GETFREENFLJERSEYANDNBATOO.com.cn" Never seen that before. I guess they should get the benefit of the doubt based on how hastily he was called up, but still. Wow. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's when the language evolves into a mashup of slang and improper usage and before you know it we're all speaking like we're in the movie, Idiocracy.

It's not some massive problem like how some people suddenly think apostrophes are used to pluralize (jersey's). The charm of the phrase to people who use it is that it is incorrect, so there is nothing to correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 "Epic fail" is an intentional misuse. It's not some massive problem like how some people suddenly think apostrophes are used to pluralize (jersey's). The charm of the phrase to people who use it is that it <i>is</i> incorrect, so there is nothing to correct.Oh, the random apostrophe-thing makes me crazy. On this AZ Cardinals board I'm on, more than half of the guys on there refer to the team in San Francisco as the "49'ers".Don't get me started on "your" vs. "you're", "there" vs. "their" vs. "they're", and my favorite - "lose" vs. "loose".I can honestly say that I knew the difference between all of them when I was six years old. No joke.The interwebs make me sad for the education in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Falcon Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Don't forget people who write "I would of done that" instead of "I would HAVE done that." Drives me bonkers, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelayedPenalty Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 First one is just stupid, it's pretty easy to figure out what's front and what's back. The second one is so bad it's hilarious. I understand he was a last minute roster addition, but come on! I'm sure they had more than 5 minutes notice to sew his name and number on there!

Buster Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 OH GOD WHEN WILL THE MADNESS END"Epic fail" can go and die a miserable death any time now. Fail is a verb. Failure is a noun. Your grammar, therefore, would fall under "failure."Thank you. I hate that idiotic term. Stop using it, kids. It was dumb from the first usage of it, but now it's overplayed.Now, onto the jersey....how can a jersey be messed up THAT badly!?!? Was the team seamstress on opium? Love the player's take on it though:"I don't know. I think they tried to put my zip code on there," Shakur said, eliciting laughter throughout the locker room. "They, you know, messed it up a little bit." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
