Trades and Commissions, Butchering English - Infamy
16 years ago
General
So again, I'm offering trades and commissions. Commissions are pretty cheap, especially compared to some artists. (Though I admit I do find the lopsided Boob-rex art to be hilarious) Seriously, cash though. I'd like to start replacing more parts in my car and it's getting expensive.
Trades would be outstanding as well. I'm not doing free art for the randoms anymore since.. well I was originally doing it to be nice and the people taking it; they weren't so nice. Skill's not a huge thing guys, as long as it takes you at least a portion of the time and effort I put into my half I'll be happy.
Has anyone else noticed the complete and utter inability of more than a few people to be able to spell, um... Simple words? I expect the occasional misspelling and typo (For example, I can't ever seem to type typo out the first time. Muscle memory just makes it into type - Ed.). That's not what I'm on about. What kills me is when I read a journal and it's absolutely filled with a thorough beating of the English language. It's even worse that they're supposedly born from an English speaking country and absolutely horrifying that someone that speaks English as a second language can easily outdo someone in a 2nd Grade spelling contest; never mind words that are actually challenging to spell. Firefox even comes with a spellchecker. Sure there's the joke about homonyms and spellcheckers, but that's a different beast all together.
There has got to be a way to save the English language from degenerating further...
(Smart ass note - There's a lot of funny 'do as I say, not as I do please' running around lately. It's coming in thick even for Utah, home of that phrase)
(Here's the song Infamy from Modern Warfare 2, song supposedly by Hans Zimmerman, not sure though on this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOmCyRo1_1c)
(Stamina Rose from Ghost in the Shell - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLNXE6Kd1iM)
(Finally the song from Modern Warfare that starts up with the mission segment Shock and Awe (Right after Charlie Don't Surf.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTEdMII_JOc&feature=related)
