Another point - it also eliminates any annoying T-shirts-with-slogans, which disarms a lot of leftist stupidity.

Hah! I didn't know that site was still out there. I was always a fan of the Swedish Chef translations, myself.

I know it's railing against the wind to complain about misspelled words on the 'net given the general level of public education these days, but it still rankles to see it. Right after I posted my first comment, a post appeared here on FR with the headline "This photo is dieing for a caption". I still have marks on my forehead from banging my head into the keyboard.

This photo is dieing for a caption...

My contribution to that thread on post number 78. :-)

Stupidity is strong with these youn Padawans.

And that policy can bite us back as well.

I’ll refer you to.

To get the look, wear your boxers about 2 inches below you waist, and oversized shorts or pants at about the middle of your buttocks (the stride should be just above the knees for the proper look. Wear a muscle shirt and a hoodie on top. And you too can have that geto look. Oops, I forgt the gold chain and the 200 tennis shoes.

Jokelahoma obviously needs some Google lessons so he can find online dictionaries such as:

Nobody should be wearing T-Shirts with slogans at school anyway.

How about just a photo of you. :-)

[Spktyr]

Given some of the CafePress and home-produced photo T-shirts I’ve seen high schoolers wearing these days? No photo T-shirts, either.

[Jokelahoma]

Sigh... yes, and that's every bit as revered a reference as Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck Dictionary. How wonderful that they have a dictionary online now where one can go both to justify misspellings and to better be able to communicate with the functionally illiterate. There's a Klingon dictionary out there as well. Should we start accepting those words as spellings?

Look, as I said, if you did it on purpose (and it appears you did) then fine. Since you have that reference handy, can you see if "dieing" is listed there as well, so I can take it to the other thread I mentioned?

This guy made the case for uniforms by making this pledge. Wait until he finds out that the police have something better and bigger than his light saber. Hope he knows not to pull his or....

Or you could just wave your hand in front of her face and whisper, “These are not the droids you’re looking for” That gets em every time.

[PAR35]

Except I’ve run across putatively well educated 20 somethings who use the word as so defined.

As to ‘dieing’ - I’m not familiar with it. Perhaps it is a term from a tool and die shop, having something to do with using a die.

Or could it be a variant of dyeing, translated into a more modern spelling?

Nope, won't be bringing the lightsaber.

I will, however, be bringing a Bible.

Guess you could say that I'm going armed with the surest Sword of all.

[AppyPappy]

You scare me

[Darth Sidious]

You scare me

Do you want to leave this world a little better place for your children, than how it was when you first found it?

That's not going to happen by staying behind a keyboard. Or by being faithful to the party line.

Something more is required.

The folks elected
the school board to run the schools.
Let the board run things!

If you don't agree,
elect a different school board.
Dumb-ass costumes and

inappropriate
appeals to the Bible don't
win folks to the faith

or make any sense
in a republic like ours.
Get with the program.

There's a town called Vulcan where the council dons costumes and makeup for the town meetings.

Alberta, CA, iirc.

why do
you

write like
this?

Are you
writing

a haiku?
