Trawling the Net

In addition to doing my homework, I've been reading Doug LeMoine's blog, which has been around for a ridiculously long time. A friend linked it on Facebook. Specifically, she linked to where he'd typed up English Sentences Without Overt Grammatical Subjects, a satirical linguistics paper that is NSFW. (His actual entry about pornolinguistics is here.) Since I like circular things, he has posted about Facebook grammar, from the era when status updates had to be in the third person.

I've been doing other things too.  Just thought ya'll might find this one interesting.

  1. That FB status grammar post was so true and hilarious. I did the same at first, but gradually let go of the real life grammar rules. :) Thanks for sharing~

  2. I think everyone was happy when FB got rid of that "is."
