the NO YOUR WRONG! game

[Bara]

i mean if you have a Ipod, MP3, Zune or something and you download a piece of music that has a virus in it, then it hurts the Ipod, MP3 and Zune or something.

Taco's Guide to making legible sentences:

Greetings class, and thanks for coming out! Today we're going to look at a horrible sentence and work on a way to clean it up. Now take a look at this sentence here:

no your wrong! it hurts only thing your downloding in into if it has viruses.

Alrighty, so who can find the first problem? That's right, sentences start with a capital, so let's fix that first!

No your wrong! It hurts only thing your downloding in into if it has viruses.

Next we'll fix the spelling so all the most obvious errors are fixed:

No your wrong! It hurts only thing your downloading in into if it has viruses.

Now then, sentences have something called a "subject" this is what the sentence is talking about, in the example the subject is "it", not exactly very clear, is it now?

No your wrong! Illegal music downloading hurts only thing your downloading in into if it has viruses.

Now we'll add some clarity to the "hurts only thing your downloading in into" part... and "in into" can go and we can organize this a lot better while we're at it:

No your wrong! Illegal music downloading only hurts the device your downloading the files into, if they have viruses.

Handy little tip:
"Your" is a possessive (Are you taking your bike to the store?)
"You're" actually means "You are", writters are lazy and will take any shortcut they can. (You're going to die alone you realize?)

So we'll (we will, not "well") fix that too

No you're wrong! Illegal music downloading only hurts the device you're downloading the files into, if they have viruses.

Then finally we'll fix up the punctuation:

No, you're wrong! Illegal music downloading only hurts the device you're downloading the files into, if they have viruses.

Our new sentence is quite different, but much easier to read. Wouldn't you agree? Let's put them side by side for a comparison.

No, you're wrong! Illegal music downloading only hurts the device you're downloading the files into, if they have viruses.

versus

no your wrong! it hurts only thing your downloding in into if it has viruses.

*bell rings* Alright, class dismissed.

Jackass

[Allama]

No, you're wrong.  Jackasses are hairy and walk on all four legs.  Taco has a hard shell and guacamole blood.

The US Constitution is infallible.

[Trey]

No, you're wrong.  Amendments prove that the original constitution is, in fact, fallible.

Paris Hilton is a whore.

[Tacolicious]

No you're wrong. Whores charge money, Paris is more likely a slut who I'm sure will be seen driving around drunk again now that the 'traumatic' experience of being specially treated in jail for a week or two is over

OOC: You forgot to put a your wrong thingy

[Tacolicious]

Oops!

My kidneys taste like fire

[Bara]

no youre wrong! they taste like chicken!


Kids that live in there moms basemnt, watch the matrix and all around geeky, are cool.

[Allama]

No, you're wrong.  Basements are generally very poorly ventilated and tend to contain water boilers and heating consoles, so they're probably very hot.

The Beatles spelled their name incorrectly.

[Bara]

no your wrong! they spelled it right because thats how the spelled it

Warhammer 40k is cool

[Allama]

No, you're wrong.  Geeky games like that are not cool at all.  Cool only applies to the chic individuals who follow the most popular "in" trends.  Geeky, however, can be said to be superior.

Geeks are more fun than nerds.

[Tacolicious]

No you're wrong. Let us examine the two with our old friend www.dictionary.com:

Geek Slang.
–noun
1.   a peculiar or otherwise dislikable person, esp. one who is perceived to be overly intellectual.
2.   a computer expert or enthusiast (a term of pride as self-reference, but often considered offensive when used by outsiders.)
3.   a carnival performer who performs sensationally morbid or disgusting acts, as biting off the head of a live chicken.


Nerd  Slang.
–noun
1.   a stupid, irritating, ineffectual, or unattractive person.
2.   an intelligent but single-minded person obsessed with a nonsocial hobby or pursuit: a computer nerd.

Now what seems more fun. Going around with some weirdo who does morbidly disgusting acts all night, or hanging out in a damp basement with some know-it-all, want-wit stooge who is still debating the merits of You-Ge-Oh over Digimon even after you informed him you didn't care about either 45 minutes ago? Me personally, I'll take hippies and eccentrics every time.

And actually, imagining the two evenings as I write this, the Geek does seem like more fun. You're right Beloved Comrade!

The answers to all life's questions cannot be found at the bottom of a bottle.

[Bara]

actually, we geeks tend to be specialized in a certain area. Nerds are just know it alls...

No your wrong. They cant!!!! its called a fortunate cookie!!!!

everybody loves my hometown, kent island.

The answers to all life's questions cannot be found at the bottom of a bottle.

But I said cannot, so you agree with me?
