Well I dunno if someone posted this already but I found this somewhat funny.

 

Ultimate "NOOOOOOOOO" Compilation

Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe. 

^That was weirdly hypnotizing. Took me a full five minutes to pull myself out it, lol.

Selekted Riting Wrules - Especially useful for all those students and such writing papers... :lol:

 

1. Verbs HAS to agree with their subjects.

2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.

3. And don't start a sentence with a conjunction.

4. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.

5. Avoid cliches like the plague. (They're old hat)

6. Also, always avoid annoying alliteration.

7. Be more or less specific.

8. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary.

9. Also too, never, ever use repetitive redundancies.

10. No sentence fragments.

11. Contractions aren't necessary and shouldn't be used.

12. Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.

13. Do not be redundant; do not use more words than necessary; it's highly superfluous.

14. One should NEVER generalize.

15. Comparisons are as bad as cliches.

16. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.

17. One-word sentences? Eliminate.

18. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.

19. The passive voice is to be ignored.

20. Eliminate commas, that are, not necessary. Parenthetical words however should be enclosed in commas.

21. Never use a big word when a diminutive one would suffice.

22. Use words correctly, irregardless of how others use them.

23. Understatement is always the absolute best way to put forth earth-shaking ideas.

24. Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "I hate quotations. Tell me what you know."

25. If you've heard it once, you've heard it a thousand times:

Resist hyperbole; not one writer in a million can use it correctly.

26. Puns are for children, not groan readers.

27. Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.

28. Even IF a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.

29. Who needs rhetorical questions?

30. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.

 

And the last one...

 

31. Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.

Good one, I know I overuse parentheses when writing on forums, but I never do it "in real life". Strange.

You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

I, abuse, commas, like, there's, no, tomorrow.

 

I also vouch to boldly split infinitives at every available opportunity. Because that rule is made up.

"Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

"By the way, would you convey my compliments to the purist who reads your proofs and tell him or her that I write in a sort of broken-down patois which is something like the way a Swiss-waiter talks, and that when I split an infinitive, God damn it, I split it so it will remain split, and when I interrupt the velvety smoothness of my more or less literate syntax with a few sudden words of barroom vernacular, this is done with the eyes wide open and the mind relaxed and attentive. The method may not be perfect, but it is all I have."

That I do in legal writing. I do an extra (sometimes only <- see) proof-reading pass just to remove all the extra commas... :p

The only words that exist as a suitable response to those videos would be filtered out.

That is just insane. He can't have been more than 3 feet off the ground!

I liked the second video too. At 1:02 you see the same pass from the pilots perspective :ermm:

И погибе Српски кнез Лазаре,
И његова сва изгибе војска, 
Седамдесет и седам иљада;
Све је свето и честито било
И миломе Богу приступачно.
