Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, May 21, 2009

There's a million stories in the Naked City, and most of them were written with words.
That's right, words - those tidy little packages of sound and air that give our lives context and meaningthe hard and soft tones we rely on every day to share our dreams, order lunch and emotionally cripple our children.
Where would we be without language?
The sexy swoop of an "S".the quiet strength of the "M"that cocky, devil-may-care slant of the capital "A"
I love this language.
I can simultaneously conjugate a verb and dangle a participle, blindfolded with one hand tied behind my back.
Mine was not a family of "Letters".
We were a family of "Words".
I've dedicated my life to protecting words; like my father before me and his father too.
Being a Grammar Cop has never been more critical.

You know RCADE really aught to do Zatoichi a big favour and add a little spermy fuel gauge to the back page. Every time Zatoichi corrects or points out an incorrectly spelt word from a blog "buddy" a certain amount of spermies would go into this spermy fuel gauge so Zatoichi would have a record on how much grammatigasmic glee He produced by the correcting or pointing out some Grammatical/Spelling error. Like if it is just an average word might earn ole Zat say 10K lil spermy points. If it's a bigger word maybe 20K and so on. I can't help but picture ole Zatoichi jumping up and down in His chair with glee at spotting a fellow bloggers error and going Ah ha I got You my pretty. I bet it's comical to watch.

I'll take 10 Zatoichi for ever AKA_nocomprende

LOL make that:

I'll take 10 Zatoichi for every AKA_nocomprende

People could use some grammar corrections. Or at least take the time to write correctly.

Our English language is being bastardized with all the cutsey and phony abbreviations and wrong endings now used for words like "boyz", girlz, "r u" (for "are you").

Abbreviations usually used only to shorten words while texting seem to have now found their way into our mainstream written language and are used everywhere. I wonder if some people even know how to spell anymore.

Hang in there, ZAT, you've still got your work cut out for you. lol!

how much grammatigasmic glee

I have no ideal why Zatoichi is so picky. no idea at all.

Sorry chris, I disagree.

Even though I poke fun at larry, I'm on his side. letters and words and stuff are just for us to use to try to describe the indescribable, ourselves. we should chew the words up and roll them around in our mouths and spit them out and hopefully it'll make something interesting. sometimes it just makes a mess, then you call it art.

Well, your take on it was interesting. You're quite descriptive with words yourself!
