So it begins...

Posted 06-15-2009 at 07:23 AM by MeechMunchie
So, between by eternally nearly-finished TF2 comics and my much-neglected WH40K painting, I am working on an Oddworld version of the 'Hang in there, baby!' poster, featuring a legless Slig and a Paramite V Scrab war scene entitled 'The Intervention of Shrykull' (still on the drawing board). As for rants, don't you hate it when people use 'literally' as exaggeration? I just want to shout in their face (and sometimes do). I mean 'literally' means 'Really, I'm not exaggerating or speaking metaphorically'. So what the fuck is the point of saying it when you are! Annoying examples are saying 'I'm literally dead' when tired, or 'I'm literally wetting myself' when excited.

I've told them. They just don't listen.

Your literally ranting :P.

I prefer to use "actually". Although that probably doesnt make sense.

As far as grammar and spelling go, if Firefox didn't have spell and grammar check I would probably be banned by now.

I wish I owned a literally ranting :P. I'm not sure what I'd do with a :P, though.

People do certainly have a bad habit of prefacing hyperbole with the word 'literally'. It can be quite annoying.

Josh... Don't ever let Kastere see you mixing up your and you're.

I hate a lot of things, but that is one of them. Shame there isn't a language enforcer or something.

Don't worry. I subtley told him in my earlier comment. Oh, I am pedantic.
