Aw Grammar Smackdown 08!

There was a pilot in my fleet squadron who consistently had spelling errors on his end of the duty day comedic write ups.

His new callsign: WEBSTUЯ......and it stuck hard to this day.

You are correct to a certain point here. You have to remember that Shakespeare wrote prose in iambic pentameter so that his actors could remember their lines a bit easer. In Shakespeare's day people did not speak in prose, nor did they speak in iambic. In reality what has happened is that screenwriters (and some playwrights) have written in the way that people speak in their normal lives.

If you go see a Shakespearian play performed by a good production company with well trained actors (not some high school or local community college production) you will find that Shakespeare is in fact fairly easy to comprehend.

Wait, how does the meter relate to audience comprehension?

And I thought once Shakespeare slips into meter it technically becomes verse? :confused: Maybe not, I'm just curious.

1. USING ALL CAPS

2. LACK of puctuation in general.

3. The word "for" as in " I am here for the meeting". Tell me WHO still says this word and it sounds like 'four' and not 'fur'. Or do I just live too damn deep in the south!

Ok, Im done. :icon_mi_1
 
One of my pet peeves: en route written as one word.

Of course just about every FLIP pub, the FAR/AIM, etc has it incorrectly as one word, so c'est la guerre.
 
There's a sign at my local boat ramp, posted by the local Sheriff's Office, that list rules and regulations and specifically bans "gun-whale" riding.

Guess I'll put my correction fluid away.....
