There’s an unfortunate meme that I’ve seen become
unfortunately popular as of late. It typically goes something like this:
 |
| Don't even get me started on the grammatical errors. I see you don't know how to use an apostrophe, eh? |
Oh, is that so? Well, there’s a very specific swear word I
think most people would write here, if they were the ones saying what I’m about
to say. I won’t use it. How about instead I go with...
Horsefeathers.
Or maybe a line from our good friend, William Shakespeare:
“As you like this, give me the lie another time.” (I’m told that’s from The
Tempest. Don’t worry; there’s not an exam on this. I just thought you might
like to know, and I might like the reference so I can go read it someday.)
Or there’s one of my favourites, which I use with all due
respect to President Dieter F. Uchtdorf:

| If you'd like, you can see the full talk this comes from. Just click here. |
Yes, I don’t think I can put it any better than that: Don’t
lie. Stop it.
Prove Me Now Herewith
Do you really expect me to believe that meme? Am I honestly
supposed to believe that the people who post and re-post it are primarily
concerned with “atoms, death, aliens, sex, intellect, the meaning of life,
faraway galaxies, music that makes you feel (sic) different, memories (sic) the
lies you’ve told, your flaws, your favorite scents, your childhood, what keeps
you up at night, your insecurities and fears?” Or that... well, one section at
a time. I’ll be back to argue with the last couple sentences too. But all in
due time.
