ATTN: Southerners

We're starting to creep up on the off season and tensions will start to run high. In an effort to keep things calm and heads cool around here we are going to launch a new division of enforcement around here.....The Grammar and Spelling Enforcement Agency. GSEA for short.

I'll start off by giving a couple examples.

First, a lot of people (Southerners to be exact) are having a hard time using the words "your" and "you're" correctly. In order to alleviate any future problems the GSEA is asking that you replace "your" and "you're" with "yer." This will make typing a "correct" sentence easier for you.

Example: "Yer not going to kill a deer if you forget yer bow!"

Second, a lot (Southerners to be exact again) are having a hard time choosing between "there," "their" and "they're" while typing a sentence. Again, in order to streamline things and make yer lives easier, the GSEA is asking that you replace "there," "their" and "they're" with "dare."

Example: "Them dare kids forgot dare homework. Dare going to be in a heap of trouble when they get to school."

Thank you for your cooperation and if you need any help during the off season, be sure to contact your local GSEA agent with any questions.

 

Define the line of southerners. South of Hwy 29, 64 or 8?


Oh wait...... Dare is that mason dixon line that yer have. Gotcha.

 

Definitely 29....since I live 1 mile north of it and south of the others.

 

I love geographical wars.

 

I am the proud owner of this t-shirt.

 

what are you guys eluding too?

 

Would actually just be; "to".

Sure hope Dan lets me become a Lieutenant in the Grammar Guard. I did an exemplary job as a crossing guard in gradeschool.

 

Well, I am below the Mason-Dixon line LOL.

 

I noticed the emphasis on "Southern" Maryland. lol

 

Of course, it could be worse... We could all speak like, OMG, you know, that is just totally incoherent. Or, we could add "eh" to every question asked. Or we could cross the "crick" instead of the creek. I vote Dan for Grammar Cop.

 

Not cops.....agents. There is a special task force being set up, but all identities will remain secret.

 

Oops.

 

I so could care less.

 

Let me give you some advise, too tell others that they're grammer is wrong is elitist. Their our good people out they're and all you jerks do is mock them

 

PT is right. Even southerners can be nice people.

I laughed.

 

Hilarious

 

You don't have to be bright to be nice.

 

I giggle inside when I hear Dan talk....

I'm grammar challenged and my typing skills poor... I can, however, break into a string of expletives that would make Blago blush. This is the talent one gains from growing up in the armpit of chicagoland. :D

 

Talk......or whisper?
