The trouble with English (includes profanity)
Posted 9 years agoOne thing I have learned over the years is that many "Native English Speakers" have profound difficulty writing out their thoughts in a coherent manner. This leaves a burden on readers to piece together the meaning of what they are trying to say. A perfect example of this is a former coworker I had. He would write everything in a completely un-punctuated stream of consciousness. And I do mean COMPLETELY. No commas, periods, capitals, nothing. Just a long stream of words and including incorrect homophones (different words that sound the same). It was a nightmare trying to sort out what he was saying. That's because, depending on where you separated phrases or sentences (commas or periods), the meaning could change the meaning IMMENSELY. I mean it could range as far apart as an apology or a threat of bodily harm, depending on where someone guesses to punctuate. In any case, I saw the below list posted somewhere random and thought it might be fun to some and possibly useful to others (with a couple little additions). Feel free to share/repost this and add to it, if you so desire. Have a wonderful day.
