This is just an observation.

Has anyone noted a serious lack of good grammar and sentence structure in youtube posts? I've been checking out a variety of videos and noticed that many posts make no sense or are compleatly illiterate!

I'm certainly no genious myself! I see posting as practice for formulating good arguments on any subject.

Do English majors not watch videos on youtube?

I lament for lack of good grammar.

@alexbald12

I try to check my grammar and spelling before posting, but when I go back and read them later I see small grammatical mistakes. I figured that I either made a simple mistake or that my comments are being edited by the CIA in a gas lighting campaign. Either way, I don't really care that much about it, and neither does anyone else, except English majors, of course.

Language evolves - it is not static. z00n w3'll 4ll b3 sp34k1ng 3117. Se la ve. Sink or swim.

Who cares, honestly? We're pretty busy eating and making money and hoping people like us. Boring...in the worst way.

@jaredtgrand

If you're not interested in the subject, I curious as to why you bothered to watch the video in the first place.

[CrimsonFountainofYou]

Interesting. . . lol. That's really all I'll say here because I prefer not to argue via youtube. Not to mention, any argument I make you'll probably deem as invalid as, when talking about religion - and even a few choice scientific things - some bit of "faith" is required. Faith isn't really logical at all, now is it? *shrugs* Even so, very interesting.

[somecomputergeek]

Faith is the very opposite of science. Faith is not allowed in science. You can either formulate a hypothesis to test a theory or you can't. Some people might have "faith" in the scientific community, but that "faith" has a lot more hard evidence supporting it than religion, as the scientific community solves problems every day, whereas religions have a talent for creating them.

[FaliciaCFlatz]

@somecomputergeek depends on your definition of faith I think. Also, I'm curious. Do you care about the choices people make in their lives? Do you wish to convince people to change the way they live?

If not, why go out of your way to insult others life styles or attempt to change the way people think?

If yes, then pardon me, but I think you would make a good Muslim, Jew, Christian etc (take your pick) what makes you different?

[FaliciaCFlatz]

@somecomputergeek that sounds almost like existentialism. Have you ever looked into it or considered it?

[FaliciaCFlatz]

@somecomputergeek "se la ve"? is that supposed to be "c'est la vie"? JW cuz I was confused.

[alliaskis]

I myself watch youtube late at night, sleepy, after a couple drinks. That's why my grammar devolves.

[HimesInu]

@somecomputergeek Language evolves, but leet speak is a devolution.

[HimesInu]

@alexbald12 We, English Majors (or anyone with a minimum of one year on the course to an English degree), do watch Youtube videos. Unfortunately, we are the exception and not the rule.

And in case you're wondering where I fall, I fall under the "Minimum of One Year" category.

@Leiflton That wasn't God, it was the opium.

Funny enough, religion and praying have been proven to work identically to drugs, on the mind.

Fun fact for ya.

ROFL, darth helmet bit was awesome!
