Ok, nao I need to read some hamlet and figure out similarities and differences between Claudius and hamlet. Btw, the line to be or not to be is in Act 3, Scene 1, line 57.

@bitshift to suffer. The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune... I have a friend who gave that speech for over one thousand people.

@techdisk42 Ooh lovely. Be sure to remember Capitals and quotation marks. And that the play has en eponymous name. "Hamlet" is the play whereas Hamlet is the man/prince

@techdisk42 You gotta love grammar, besides, grammar is not a verb. "to grammar" is incorrect, "to use grammar" however, is correct
Saturday, 05-May-12 18:12:58 UTC from web-
@sarramore I know the word grammar isn't a verb, I was using it as one ironically. Because it is bad grammar with the word grammar.

@techdisk42 Or your saving you're backside and blaming a top quality touch screen. ;). (Homonyms intentionally incorrect)

@sarramore No, an iPod Touch's on screen keyboard is just more of an inconvenience to use than a physical keyboard. I usually use grammar correctly when I am either specifically trying to on my iPod (like I am now, sort of), or when I am using my laptop. Feel free to tear this post apart for grammar usage because I kind of tried this time. But please don't be too harsh.

@techdisk42 I'll let you off this time, I'm not an apple user. (And "I kind of tired" required another word in order to make proper sense, I couldn't resist. A side note is that a large majority of people wll not spot that missing word as it is squished between a pair of lines, yea psychology)
Saturday, 05-May-12 18:32:37 UTC from web-
@sarramore You read it wrong, actually. I wrote tried, not tired. My grammar usage there was correct.

@techdisk42 Touche. This brings me to another psycological point, "We see what we expect to see" biarn ticrks scuh as tihs are common.

@bitshift The apostrophe draws too much attention to itself, work around them in future. ;)

@sarramore yup! I couldn't read the first two messed up words, actually. The others came to me. I guess I'm not expecting the right thing. :P
Saturday, 05-May-12 18:49:55 UTC from web-
@techdisk42 A person reads words as a whole, provided all the letters are there and two are in the right place, most people will not notice the muddle in the middle. Drawing away from that, to expect the unxepected is no bad thing.

@sarramore I saw the email someone sent me about that a long time ago. It usually works for me, but I keep reading that as barn tics. I know for sure that's not what it should say, but whatevs. Up here in Canada, we have our own way of talking aboot stuff, eh?
Saturday, 05-May-12 18:57:17 UTC from web-
@techdisk42 I suppose, but then we all have dialects and idiolects. Another note, Canada is a beautiful place, good mountains, good syrup, an abundance of flags...
Saturday, 05-May-12 19:00:49 UTC from web-
@sarramore Yup! I've noticed we torontonians drop the "t" when we say Toronto, slurring "torrono". Saying "Tor-On-Tow" is an easy way to be picked out as tourist here :P

@techdisk42 However, an aspect of speech can be mimicked. I could sound like a Frenchman or a Yellowbelly or whatever. Localized accents are fun.
Saturday, 05-May-12 19:08:04 UTC from web-
@sarramore It's interesting when someone points out your own accent. I kinda wish I was from Newfoundland so I would be asked questions about my accent. Of course, I'm stuck with Toronto, where we are so close to America that we pretty much have the same American accent as everybody else.
Saturday, 05-May-12 19:11:19 UTC from web-
@techdisk42 Ahh well, Canada is still a pretty decent place, even if it does border the Americas on two sides. Another note, the English subjunctive. "I wish I were from Newfoundland" instead of "I wish I was from Newfoundland" Now, I will leave you to study Hamlet's great soliloquy. I require more tea.
