Me: I'll have a 6-piece McNuggets.
McD person (MP): We have 6-piece only with a meal. You can have a 4 piece.
Me: Okay.
At MacDonalds 2 (7 blocks north of #1)
Me: I'll have a 4-piece McNuggets.
MP: We don't have 4-piece McNuggets. You can have a 6-piece.
Me: Fine.
From now on, I'm asking for the smallest McNuggets and letting them figure it out.
I should add that a small hot chocolate at #2 is what # 1 calls a medium. McD's #2 charges the price of a medium hot choc for their "small."
Work has pretty much sucked today. Wish I could blog about it. Well, I can say the elevator, which was just fixed, is broken again. Right now, hell might be a step up, I'm just saying.
And what's with a certain family member who should know how to punctuate. Every email from her is all lowercase. Either she's got a broken shift key (well, 2, cuz there are 2 on a keyboard), has forgotten how to use it, or has decided it's of no real use to bother with. Thanks goodness she hasn't eschewed the mighty period or I'd never know where the sentences end and begin. She knows about this blog, but I don't know if she reads it. If so, uh, Hi. ;)
Feeling:

well as we all know punctuation has been in decline for ages and theres no point in fighting it it will all work itself out in the end i hope i have commenter who has no idea how to use a coma or a period or anything like it sort of like this comment which is meant to be funny but maybe isnt.
ReplyDeleteYou might like the Apostrophe Protection Society: http://www.apostrophe.fsnet.co.uk
Took me a few seconds, but I did get it. You'll notice that I rarely if ever start sentences in informal writing with "I." heh
ReplyDeleteI think I've heard about that Apostrophe society. Thanks for the link.
