I HAVE ISSUES!

[languagenut5]

I loveeeeeeeeeeeee this clip! XD

[biblegirl7]

D'oh!

[languagenut5]

@biblegirl7 Sorry!  I couldn't resist! XD

[LolPixy]

This is a crazy video :P I really would like to say though sometimes i put ''i loveeeeee you'' not because i don't know what im saying i just click whatever letter

that doubles and go with that heh :] Ohh! Your laugh makes me go wild aha!

[biblegirl7]

Thanks. And I see the eeeee thing a lot. Doh! lol

[biblegirl7]

LOL! I'm sure you're fine. Your sentence is right... except for a missing space. =P

[Sikosm]

it is "didn't"

[Sikosm]

lol i love ur giggly laugh. i'm a grammar-freak too

[biblegirl7]

Thanks =)

[Addue]

rofl...I agree with you but I had to stop pointing that stuff out to people because they just look at me like I'm nuts. lol You forgot PIN number, official printed items make that mistake. Then it would be personal identification number number.

[biblegirl7]

That's a good one!

[cman414141]

I agree. You do have issues

[maddielynrachel]

LOL! same here my issues would ever end

[maddielynrachel]

lol wow that's funny im still laughing! You should certainly make a series,lol.

[biblegirl7]

It would never end! o_O

[Nihilanth1982]

lisa, i am surprised you never mentioned the most obvious one of all - people using 'your' instead of 'you're' in some statements! eg 'your gorgeous' - grr!! so annoying lol

[biblegirl7]

That one bugs me too, but I've done it myself when I'm typing too fast. I can never be sure if it's an oversight, or stupidity...

[daytonafuntim]

lol. funny, but true stuff. especially with Federal Express Express! u should most definitely do a series ;)

[Lejon83]

those two last points there were funny!I've never thought of that. I've got the same issue with grammar. Spelling mistakes!Argh!

[biblegirl7]

LOL. I hear that a lot! Nobody seems to know that rule anymore.

[Sikosm]

in england and australia, people say "and" where in america they wouldn't. for example "let's go and play outside" is "let's go play outside", and "two-thousand and eight" is "two-thousand eight"

[NightingaleNews]

I'm STILL laughing! First of all, cuuuute (did I get the right repeater letter?) lip gloss. Secondly, my significant other doesn't use proper grammar either. He always says things like "I seen it" or "When I come in the TV was on." It's like nails on a chalkboard for me! I'm glad I'm not the only one. Maybe I can muster up a video response with MY issues. Although it would probably have to be a 3-part series. :) Love your videos.

[biblegirl7]

I'm sure I could come up with at least 2 more parts. But be warned. if you do any kind of rant. Even when you're joking, some people take everything WAY too seriously ;)

[souixana]

your great! (and that is one of MY issues. Your for you're) But you ARE great & I'm gonna subscribe if I can find where the subscription button is at.

[biblegirl7]

It be at the top of this here page x_x

[biblegirl7]

He knows he's the source of many jokes! :P

[jenek]

Hello! Errrm, well... in the beginning of your vid you say "me and my friends" shouldn't it be my friends and I? ::runs:: I hate being the grammar police!

[biblegirl7]

Holy crap! You're right; I did!

[jenek]

Well, it just doesn't matter! You're fantaboolus. I hate myself now! :)

[biblegirl7]

Serves me right for being preachy :P

[jenek]

LOL! We are only human, preach away I say!

[biblegirl7]

Gahhh! God help me :P

[CraigDev93]

LOL we all have issues

[ssillars01]

very amusing....you have a very pretty face

[biblegirl7]

Thanks :)

[19beavers]

Hi Love the video - but really you should move to the UK and learn to speak PROPER english !!

[MarthaReeves]

Wow you have a really infectious laugh.

[MarthaReeves]

Is that really you Adolf?

[biblegirl7]

Didn't is a contraction. That is part of our language, taught in our English classes.

[2of6Solutions]

LoL If you ever watch another one of my videos I hope you have a large glass of wine near by :)

[biblegirl7]

I don't think I noticed anything in yours. Unless it's really bad, very few people jump out in my mind on these. I just felt like having a mini-rant :)

[medicatedsaint]

*sigh*

[biblegirl7]

yeah

[ninjaonbootyduty]

ummm. do you live in the south?

[biblegirl7]

Yup. Florida.

[Julsinmaine101]

yup?isn't that bad english...JK...hehe

[pongman]

I can understand why you have a problem with your use of the English language but you have to understand that this is a forum for every man, woman and child from all parts of the world. Can you imagine reading Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Finn" with every character speaking the King's English? Sorry but I enjoy the way people speak.

[biblegirl7]

I actually love reading stories that are written in Old English. I think the language was beautiful. But I only mentioned one term that I found here on You Tube. The rest was from people I know, personally. And I thought the video conveyed my usual tongue-in-cheek humor about the topic??

[pongman]

It is frequently asserted that sentences beginning with and or but express "incomplete thoughts" and are therefore incorrect.lol

[biblegirl7]

That's actually a good example of one that's evolving. My daughter's a junior in high school and is taking college classes in the dual-enrollment program. They're now teaching it's OK to start a sentence with "At" if it helps with the continuity of the thought.

[championnapper]

haha, ok. Reality is that it is to a person's advantage to have a mastery of whichever language is "the power language" in any given context. If I'm in the Middle East, the second I open my mouth with English and cannot communicate competently in their language without an accent, I am at a distinct disadvantage. Fair? It's survival--plain and simple. Take your chances.

[Michelle5451]

It's very funny to hear someone else point out the FedEx Express thing. I've been pointing that out for years and you're the first person I've heard do it, too! Sadly, I've simply accepted people using double negatives, but the "seen" for "saw" thing drives apenuts. ATM Machine? How about ER Room and OR Room.

[biblegirl7]

ER and OR. Those are good ones I hadn't considered.

[championnapper]

After the text generation, knowing proper English will be like knowing Olde English. I'm going to get a jump on things by revising my resume now. "I is tracking a job to seek employ. I good with money and know how to borrow it to peeple. I also think I would at be good at sergeon, but 2 much skool dats not even on line. Y cant skool b on Utube and Paris teaches? I keep starndard business hours. Txt me nytime."

[biblegirl7]

HAHAHA!

[sirnubenegra]

well my issue is that you are so freaking HOT! but i have to fight it, since you said HUsband! :( you cute by the way.

[medicatedsaint]

I hope your joking.

[sirnubenegra]

yes... by the way. is this a threat?! she is cute. is a compliment!

[4eyes79]

You tell em biblegirl7 lol

[iluuvme]

Oh my goodness, loved the video! And just to tell you, girl, your make up looks soo pretty in this video! Well, it always does, but it looks especially good in this one! :-)

[biblegirl7]

It must have been the pink jacket. In person, it washes me out, but for some reason everything usually looks darker in my videos, so in this case, it was balanced. But thanks :)

[MartySchrader]

Even the title of a recent film: "Ten Items or Less." AAARGH! It's "ten items or FEWER," you non-English-speakers! Aaah!

[biblegirl7]

HAHAHA!

[biblegirl7]

You're right. It is laziness. And I'm guilty myself. Even in this video, I left a dangling participle :P Nobody seems to have noticed it, yet.

[biblegirl7]

=)

[artfuldodga]

in my uh area we say "where ya to"' :) or "Stay where you're to 'til I comes where you're at" hehe... you would prob be enraged here :P

[biblegirl7]

Yeah. That would make me crazy X__X

[nanciesweb]

You don't have issues, you have a full subscription!

:D j/k

Did you know that double negatives are accepted in a lot of languages, including Spanish?

[biblegirl7]

Thankfully, the only other language I know is igpay atinlay :)

[Atvar]

words is hard :)

[biblegirl7]

=P

[biblegirl7]

Thank you =)

[biblegirl7]

Actually I don't. I understand that's either commercialized or cultural, depending on the artist. And music is technically exempt from being grammatically correct, although some of the songs we sing at church bug me, when I know they could have avoided the misuse. I'm always re-working the words in my head. (I told you I have issues!)

[biblegirl7]

D! You're defending these? Well knock me over with a feather!

[biblegirl7]

You guys are giving me more issues.

[sarrycrey]

Ohhhh Mikma Man...I loveeeee you a bushel and a peck!!! Heheheee

[biblegirl7]

Sara! How do you like the way ChristopherMast calls you "Sorry" (hee hee)

[Julsinmaine101]

loosen up...we are on youtube for fun not to get a English lesson..

[biblegirl7]

Everyone IS having fun. Just read these comments! They're all fun and positive. And take the video in the intent that it was made.

[VioletKitty411]

Haha...I say that too. I'm a grammar nazi too :-P

Here's one that I can't stand. When people try to seem classy by using French and then they use it incorrectly. ie. Ordering a French Dip sandwich "with aw juice" (saying as they say it I know it's au jus). First "au" means with in this case, seconding the pronunciation is HORRIBLE.

HGTV is particularly awful and consistantly calls an armoire an "ahm-wah" thinking they are being sophisticated. It's just ignorant.

[biblegirl7]

Ooooo. VK has issues too :P

[VioletKitty411]

Yes, and reading through my own comment I wrote "seconding" instead of "secondly"...I claim a combination of fatigue and blondeness for that one.

[biblegirl7]

I have blonde moments!

[SallyCinnamin]

The Youtube grammar problem I hate the most is where it says "favorited"! It should be favored! Or favoured if you're British, like me.

[biblegirl7]

Yep. You're right. But if you said it correctly, someone would try to correct you, or not even know what you were trying to say! DOH!

[Xelanderthomas]

I didn't do anything not I didn't do nothing... unless you did something than you could say I didn't do nothing... because you did something ;-)

[biblegirl7]

Now my brain hurts...

[Xelanderthomas]

LOL :-D

[DRUNKENMONK1313]

I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOUR LAUGH !

[biblegirl7]

Thanks :)

[MGABBYB]

Double negatives make a positive...

[biblegirl7]

*chuckle*

[Toscadera]

you need a blackboard :)

[biblegirl7]

Or a dry erase board? May Gimmeabreakman will lend me one.

[Toscadera]

But they don't really clean properly. If you leave the writing on long enough it won't completly come off anymore, which is annoying. How bout a 42 inch Etch-a-Sketch?

[biblegirl7]

Oooo. Etch-A-Sketch. Now that would be fun.

[Blinkazoid]

Them slow drivers oughten not to do that. I'm like, it's like where's they're right foot at? I know where's they're head at. It's the same place I'd like to put my right foot at when they pull out in front of me like that. And yes, people ought not to never use them double negatives cuz it changes the entire intent of the sentence. Sheese, where some people got they're learning I'll never no. They're bodies were at they're desks but I don't know where they're heads we're at.

[biblegirl7]

LOL. How long did it take you to trash this paragraph? BTW, you forgot to screw up the punctuation. OH! That's my next rant!

[Blinkazoid]

I figured if I also screwed up the punctuation no one be be able to comprehend the paragraph at all. It still gives me nightmares

to think about when the comments were so bad and we had to substitute dashes for real punctuation to get them to stick. I make an attempt at good grammer but something tells me I slip quite a bit more than you do:) I hate the double negatives and the misuse of they're/there/their the worst. It kills me when I accidentally do it myself. I'm guilty of run-on sentences.

[biblegirl7]

Mmmmm. I could go for some salmon fish.

[blumac81]

haha this video was so cute :)

Keep in mind some of those phrases are slang "ebonics" that are really intentionally grammatically incorrect because they want to appear like a rebel or cool. Ya, it's stupid. Totally 1990's. :P

[biblegirl7]

I know the MTV stuff is ebonics, but the kids hear it so many times, they forget it's not proper grammar.

[biblegirl7]

I know we all have issues. I'm just opening the can of worms :) Hey, someone had to do it.

[Skaramine]

Mighty Trebor - Ought is ancient terminology for Zero.

As a writer, I end up causing my girlfriend enormous headaches with redundancies similar to FedEx Express and ATM Machine. Still, improper grammar sometimes makes me bristle as well. Like "Ink Pen."

As opposed to the "Fresh Blood Pen?", or the "Mud Pen?"

[biblegirl7]

I'll have to add "ink pen" to my list.... Maybe someone is trying to clarify that they don't want a "safety pin" or a "straight pin"?

[TheotherPrometheus]

If that's the case, they should learn to pronounce the words better. Pin and pen sound different. (At least they should)

[biblegirl7]

Not in the south. They both sound like peein. So what? Are they looking for the bathroom?

[Skaramine]

And yes, the lady who said that did have a strong southern accent... she might have been trying to differentiate.

[biblegirl7]

LOL.

[falloutpunk]

Oh I am soooo with you on the grammar! My dad's parents and pretty much his whole family were teachers so growing up I was always corrected whenever I said something wrong. So now I do it all the time and my friends hate it lol. I call myself a grammar geek. I just think it's such a simple thing to do I don't know why people don't bother learning the proper way to say things. Everyone should know you never end a sentence with a preposition! lol

[biblegirl7]

And yet, I did it in this exact video :P It's just not one that I mentioned. LOL.

[MightyTrebor]

Things that bug me are things like:

Braile instructions on the DRIVE-up ATM.

People who say "Double ott" when the mean double zero.

Getting to the counter at the 7-11 to hear the clerk say "will that be all"; of course it is I'm at the counter, right?

For that matter the clerk counting my change for me? You think I can't do that?

There's more but I'll cut this short for people who can't stand long replies... lol

[biblegirl7]

HAHAHAHA! I think you're worse than me. That actually makes me feel better =D

[TheotherPrometheus]

Actually...

A blind passenger may use the ATM.

Aught means zero. But that IS annoying.

You can buy many things while at the counter. Lottery tickets, cigarettes, adult mags...

[biblegirl7]

I guess convenience store employees aren't the best at reading body language and knowing if the customer is finished yet.

Actually, I think they have to say that. It's probably a marketing ploy to increase sales.

[MightyTrebor]

yep it is

"you want fries wit' 'dat?"

[Petraglyph777]

haha... :) I will sometimes read British newspapers, just to immerse in proper usage. sigh.... now, where's my paper at?

[biblegirl7]

LOL. Now this comment will drive me nuts every time I see it.

[Petraglyph777]

Oh, dear dear Biblegirl... :) You are raging against the machine. This english we call language is morphing. It is continually changing, and not for the better. What is slang today, is accepted speech tomorrow. Being in Canada, we don't hear many of the examples you mention. We have our own, thank you. Such as: PIN number. So, you mean Personal Identification Number number?

[biblegirl7]

Yes! We have that too! I never thought about it. Great. Now I have another issue. Thanks a lot :P

[MightyTrebor]

we have that here too! PIN numbers.

Language is alive like a species... continually evovling and getting bigger.

[biblegirl7]

It can evolve, but a lot of it is just laziness.

[Gimmeabreakman]

Man, you are worse than me! AND *I* am a teacher!

V

[biblegirl7]

I decided it was time to confess....

[dmurawski]

I saw the title and said "wow, she is finally admitting it" lol just kidding

[biblegirl7]

Oh you just wait. There's another video processing right now..... Mua Ha Ha Ha!

[daniephillips77]

Oh, I remembered one I do, "Me and Kirk" for example. My father n law teases me and says, "Kirk is mean? How is he mean?" It took me a long time to figure out that he was correcting me. I figured it once and corrected myself. I said, "Kirk and I". My mother n law laugh caused I finally caught on. I think it is funny too.

[biblegirl7]

I used to date a guy whose whole family had the worst grammar I had ever heard. They were all really nice, and the guy was great, but I knew I could never live with that! So who's the pathetic one? Me? Or them?

[daniephillips77]

I don't know, you make them sound pretty bad, lol.

[Nickrun]

I looooooooooooooove slow drivers! Wow I need to go to bed... FedEx has many companies. FedEx Express is just one of them. FedEx Ground, FedEx Freight are some others.

I'll try to make a video tomorrow at work... one thing I have an issue with there!

Someone at work once said something was 4 feet 12 inches!

[biblegirl7]

I think the person you work with... oh wait... "the person with whom you work" :P needs to get a clue.

[daniephillips77]

(Holds hand up and blushes) I have done some of those at one time or other. That last one where they drive slow and all is one of ours too.

[biblegirl7]

I violated a grammar rule in this video. I'm just waiting for someone to catch it.

[daniephillips77]

lol, I did not.

[deigie]

This is funny! The one with "at" at the end of the sentence bothers me too! :)

[biblegirl7]

Between my husband and my manager, I'm going crazy!
