Another one...
Some idiot at Lockheed Martin took a whiteboard marker and wrote on a projection screen:
"Vicki - Rick, and Bob, and Leroy were here-had to leave."
How fucking dumb can you be?
First of all, it's a goddamn PROJECTION SCREEN, not a whiteboard!
Secondly, if you're using all those "and"s, you don't need fucking commas, you moron! And the improper used of dashes...(as you can tell, sentence frangments don't particularly bother me.)
OK, so at least we know the retard is either Rick, Bob, or Leroy. And they're in Vicki's meeting.
And these are people who build missiles for a living...

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only Grammar Nazi in the world. It upsets me greatly when ignant people exacerbate they ignance, especially in a professional context. Like when I'm reading a Christopher Rice book and on at least every third page there are misspellings, mixed-up pronouns, or other such errors. It makes me angry and also makes me not want to read that book anymore.
Grammar Lesson of the Day:
segue (pronounced seg-way): to make a transition directly from one section or theme to another
It is spelled "segue," not "segue way," which would be pronounced seg-way-way as it appeared in the Kathy Griffin interview in the Watermark
Toddington pointed out the error in Dave Wiethop's Watermark interview, and I realized that I always thought that "segue" was pronounced "sayg". And I, too, another grammar-nazi/fanatical punctuationalist, would have made the very same error.
I think Todd learned that at the libary. Right after he went to MacDonald's and axed them for a sammich.
Yeah, well, you also don't know what a "side" is. So I wouldn't have held out much hope for "segue" either.
(Ba-ZING!)
Do one thing. Do it well.
