Little Tip
If you're going to criticize the ability of some people to learn two languages, first master one. 40 Responses To "Little Tip"
Huukd ahn fawniks werkd fer me! Ya'll Derhuh! I actually had a supervisor once that would write my team big long e-mails that frequently featured the conjuction of 'should' and 'have' (should've) except she never failed to write it "should of" (She got a bit snippy with me when I tried to correct her.) Good catch. The question is, what will they do with thousands pieces of misprinted apparel? #2 - Posted by: Archangel on May 18, 2006 03:53 PMWhere them? #4 - Posted by: LokiDoki on May 18, 2006 03:56 PMi could use some rags to clean up after the new puppy piddles in the house... currently i'm using a nuke the moon shirt i found in the goodwill bargin bin... #5 - Posted by: shane on May 18, 2006 03:58 PMThat's funny. I would buy one of the incorrect ones just for kicks if I weren't so annoyed by the snotty tone of the message. Look, it's polite to at least try learning the language of the country you want to live in. When I was stationed in Germany I always tried to speak their language, and while I was never fluent, the Germans appreciated the effort. Why can't we expect the same from those who come here? #6 - Posted by: PaleoMedic on May 18, 2006 04:16 PMThats too funny...........worked at a screenprint place back in day, we printed 1200 shirts that read, Tiananmen Square REMEBER!!!! They made nice dust rags............ #7 - Posted by: evillegenius on May 18, 2006 04:22 PMMaybe sum evil capitolist will by them an cell them just too liberals. They won't notice sew we can spot them easier two laugh at them write before we punch them in they're faces. #8 - Posted by: Moneyman on May 18, 2006 04:32 PMVielleicht sollte er Englisch erlernen, bevor er sich beschwert, daß Amerikaner keine andere Sprachen sprechen. And the only reason we need to speak other languages is so we can tell them to learn English! #9 - Posted by: Master Shake on May 18, 2006 04:41 PMIronically, my Italian is languishing now that I write in English most of the time, play games and watch movies/TV series in English, and most importantly that I've given up on my fellow Italians. #10 - Posted by: Francesco Poli on May 18, 2006 05:29 PMSo... Americans need to become multilingual because the rest of the world is too stupid to learn English. Is that the message? #11 - Posted by: Bob in Feenicks on May 18, 2006 05:50 PMMaybe to dense is a verb and none of us has sufficiently mastered English to understand the deeper meaning of this highly philosophical text. #12 - Posted by: Brutha on May 18, 2006 07:29 PMI can't stand shit like this. It's grammatical abortions like this that are slowly turning people into retards. #14 - Posted by: Nick The Geek on May 18, 2006 09:26 PMAs someone who got a job by nit-picking the printed publication that I now work for, I must say, grammar is indeed important. Und das stimmt, Master Shake. Ich bin damit einverstanden. And kudos on trying to learn the German, PaleoMedic. As you can tell, I like it a lot. :-D #15 - Posted by: blue square on May 18, 2006 10:39 PM'Member, wuncen't y'all been learnt to tawk gud Ainglish, ain't nobody learn you no differnt. Sho' nuff!! #16 - Posted by: Lonevoice on May 18, 2006 10:48 PMAt one time or another, I've learned Spanish, German, and Japanese. Then, after a few years of zero practice, the best I can do is count to ten and order beer in each of them. Some times, I order ten beers. Even if I cleaned up my grammar, my jokes would still stink. They might annoy me a little less though. #18 - Posted by: Neo-andertal on May 18, 2006 11:39 PMAm spikking fife languuags, and of da fife, am spikking Englicch da best. #19 - Posted by: Ernie G on May 18, 2006 11:40 PMAgain with the Germans. Seriously, this is the first time I've seen Germans on the web O-O. At B2k (homepage, gaming + forums), we've got Swedes, Aussies, Canucks, Brits, South Africans, Koreans, and even a gal from Portugal...but no Germans. Meh, I muse. #20 - Posted by: Archangel on May 18, 2006 11:44 PMTooo funny. #21 - Posted by: jonag on May 18, 2006 11:53 PMAs we all know, there are no natureal-born Americans who speak more than one language. We're all dumb, ignorant hicks and xenophobes and racists. Hiss, hiss! #22 - Posted by: SilverBubble on May 19, 2006 12:01 AMWhen I was in high school, I was a lifeguard, and saw this 18 or 19 year old kid with a tattoo that read: "To Tough" or something or other...I asked him about it, and he had no idea what I was talking about. Kids... #24 - Posted by: Joe on May 19, 2006 07:10 AMTo funny! Er...two funnie!or something like that. #25 - Posted by: RottsoRuck on May 19, 2006 09:01 AMMy Dad, who's Polish, taught me, who's a wet-back, Cherman. "Scheisse-kopf". How's that, you freakin' furners? #26 - Posted by: Bilbo on May 19, 2006 09:07 AMAlthough I learned Spanish years ago in college, due to the fact that my use and practice has been limited, I have lost most of my ability to speak it fluently. Now, with that said, I am sure that if I were forced to need it to communicate, I could remember it or learn it again. The fact that the immigrants come here and don't even bother to learn the language which would help them communicate and assimilate is a major problem. In short, LEARN THE F'N LANGUAGE. #27 - Posted by: IllinoisRepublican on May 19, 2006 09:22 AMWell Illinois, move on down here to tejas and you will get all the practice you need on that there Espanol. It's the primary language in many companies here. #28 - Posted by: Dan M on May 19, 2006 09:56 AMEspanol...that spells "moon" #29 - Posted by: Bilbo on May 19, 2006 10:01 AMI am what you call multi-lingual. I speak English, Spanish, Italian, and Random phrases of the 18 countries I've visited and a couple of Japanese phrases as well. That being said, when you immigrate... assimilate. I lived in Italy for roughly a year and spoke Italian so much that my english suffered. If I have to learn monkey to communicate with liberals, immigrants can learn English... or I'll punch them in the face too. oh and though I speak many languages, I can't spell in any of them so lay off the spelling errors. #30 - Posted by: writer on May 19, 2006 10:30 AMI'm with you IllinoisReuplican, especially the last part - LOL And Shane: bargin bin? did you mean that or are you too excited by desecrating your nuke the moon t-shirt to care? :-D #31 - Posted by: brandy on May 19, 2006 10:55 AMHere in Detroit, we have the largest Middle Eastern population outside of the Middle East. Every so often, there is a billboard up in Arabic. Let me tell you, THAT'S a little freaky. At least with Spanish, you can guess the basic content of the message. Gringos estan stupidos. Well, I can take a wild guess. Try deciphering squiggle squiggle squiggle BACKWARDS! #32 - Posted by: Mary on May 19, 2006 11:53 AMBTW, the Continental Congress DID vote on a national language. English beat German by 1 vote. So we DO have an official language. Ever wonder what would have happened if we would have had stronger ties with Germany (or at least Prussia) instead of England, say, in 1914? I learnded that-there in mah Amurcan heestry class. #33 - Posted by: Mary on May 19, 2006 11:56 AMNotice how even the webmaster at Cafepress makes fun of this retardo. (look at the title bar) There's no reason for them to learn english since most of them live in areas that they feel are supposed to be Meheeko's land anyway. Only problem is, my 9mm feels differently... #34 - Posted by: Grain on May 19, 2006 02:43 PMAs a victim of EDA [Extremely Dense Americanism] I would like to say that I am offended by that T-Shirt slogan. I demand reparations and a nice Island somewhere in the South Pacific as compensation for my aggrieved sensibilities. Or else learn me how to say "Let me see your immigration papers Amigo" in Spanish. #35 - Posted by: walrus on May 19, 2006 04:27 PMto dense. verb. To perform a German folk dance. I dense, you dense, he/she/it denses, we dense, they dense. I speak three languages (English, Spanish, and Russian) and studied some Swedish to prepare for visiting in-laws in Sweden (Sverige). When visiting Guaymas, Mexico, I spoke Spanish and did not expect anybody to speak English to me. When visiting Skelleftea, Sweden, I hobbled along in Swedish until the Swede couldn't stand it any longer and spoke English to me, but that was pure charity on their part. Habla Ingles, estupido -- YO hablo! #36 - Posted by: Tankascribe on May 19, 2006 06:31 PMWenn ist das Nunstuck git und Slotermeyer? Ja! ...Beiherhund da Oder die Flipperwald gersput! Ach! Zat iss not fun....Hahahahahahah...Erk! * #37 - Posted by: Wolfman Dan on May 19, 2006 10:10 PMIt should say "too dense" not "to dense". Who ever did the shirt should learn english. Freaking tards. #38 - Posted by: Joshua on May 20, 2006 02:32 AMI suspect the T-shirt is intentionally being ironic. I can't say for sure, but that's the feeling I get. Notice that the title of the page is "Too Dense" and the url is cafepress.com/toodense/ In addition, I'm pretty sure that "The reason.......is because.." is technically incorrect, and should be "The reason.....is that......" Hey, I know it's nitpicking, but if you're going to be so pompous and self-righteous, your #$^&*$# grammar had better be PERFECT. #40 - Posted by: Christopher in Carolina on May 22, 2006 09:40 AMPost a comment
