Lying! LYING!

[(Anonymous)]

The character was LYING on the bed! Not laying! Lying! LYING!

...sorry, just had to get that out.

Re: Lying! LYING!

[(Anonymous)]

Ooh, is this the "ridiculously common grammar mistakes vent thread"? A LOT. ALOT IS NOT A FUCKING WORD. A. LOT.

Re: Lying! LYING!

My high school sophomore English teacher always marked us wrong when we wrote "a lot" and corrected it to "alot"; and refused to believe me and the other students who kept telling her she was wrong. /cool story

Re: Lying! LYING!

[cassandraoftroy]

That's pretty awful. My seventh grade science teacher thought it was one word, but when I showed her the dictionary, she was at least willing to believe me and accept the correction with good grace. But an English teacher taking points off for proper grammar and correcting you wrong? That's... bad. I'm sorry.

hdu my character is a chicken

Similarly, the past tense of 'lead' is spelled 'led.' NOT LEAD. It doesn't follow the same rules as 'read' for whatever reason and yes it's yet another example of where English is terrible inconsistent - BUT IT'S LED, DAMNIT.

He held her waist. If he's holding her waste you should have warned for scat fic.

Unless your pirate or werewolf uses way too much makeup, they are not rouge. And neither is the X-Man.

Re: Lying! LYING!

[queerwolf]

Definitely is definitely not spelled defiantly!

Also, it is an exercise/beauty/whatever regiment, not regime.

Re: Lying! LYING!

[(Anonymous)]

Unless the brave leader of your regime undergoes a beauty regiment. Or the regime enforces beauty on all citizens.

Re: Lying! LYING!

[(Anonymous)]

It is perhaps a regimen, rather than either of those.

Sorry.

Re: Lying! LYING!

[cloud_riven]

Defiantly is one of my few favourite typos. It makes everything hilariously tense.

Re: Lying! LYING!

[(Anonymous)]

If someone does not win, that does not mean they loose. That does not make any sense. They lose. They LOSE. THEY DON'T EVEN SOUND SIMILAR FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

Re: Lying! LYING!

[(Anonymous)]

Speak for yourself. When I don't win, I loose...my bowels.

Re: Lying! LYING!

[(Anonymous)]

You couldn't care less. If you could care less, then that would mean that you still fucking care.

Re: Lying! LYING!

[(Anonymous)]

And that's nice, but the saying "could care less" is so common now that they're basically the same thing to an average person. It's a weird saying and you have to deal with it, sorry.

Re: Lying! LYING!

[(Anonymous)]

SERIES = AN ENTIRE TELEVISED STORY, from the first episode of the first season to the last episode of the last season.

SEASON = One segment of a series, usually a year's worth of sequential episodes.

The two words are NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. Only a few shows include more than one series, and they're most often identified as "The old series" and "The new series" or by the year or decade in which they ran, rather than "Series 1," "Series 2," etc.

Re: Lying! LYING!

[caecilia]

I think this is a regional thing actually, since I usually see it with British shows.

Re: Lying! LYING!

[queerwolf]

Yeah, this one is regional. Brits (and maybe Aussies?) refer to seasons as series.

Re: Lying! LYING!

[(Anonymous)]

That's strictly an American thing. The rest of the world has programmes that are broken into series and they don't always get dragged out for a year.

Re: Lying! LYING!

[(Anonymous)]

Unless you're British. For British people, a season of a show is called a series. I don't know how that doesn't get confusing if they're trying to differentiate between a single season and the entire series (or maybe they use some other word instead of series when they're talking about the entire thing, I'm not sure) but that's what they do.

FUN TIMES

[(Anonymous)]

Where I live, people often use the word for "series" to refer to an individual episode of a series.

Drives me up the wall, but some things just aren't worth arguing over.

(I will correct the shit out of blatant grammatical and sṕelling mistakes, though.)

Re: Lying! LYING!

[(Anonymous)]

It's "for all intents and purposes," not "for all intensive purposes." The latter makes no freakin' sense! Are you even thinking about what you're saying?

And goddamn you better watch your effect/affect usage!

Re: Lying! LYING!

[(Anonymous)]

I think sometimes it's a regional thing, where lying sounds more like laying in certain accents maybe?

I get being annoyed by things like this, though. One of my friends has an English degree yet makes more grammar and spelling mistakes than almost anyone else I know. Yet when anyone dares to correct her she tells them that she was an English major so of course it's impossible for her to make any spelling/grammar mistakes. I seriously don't know how she got that degree...

Re: Lying! LYING!

[(Anonymous)]

Does she ever get laughter in response?
