I gots the bad englishs...

I don't feel pretty today. I don't mean "pretty" literally, I mean something's not right. I feel...off. I almost fell down twice at work (just walking) and it's only 8 am. Maybe my heels are too high....

I was just telling Figgy that one of my biggest pet peeves is poor grammar. It seems like I have been getting a ton of emails lately with no English 'skillzzz' whatsoever. And no, I'm not talking about bad English on purpose (- see: all comments by '30 cent'). I'm talking about everyday chit chat. Written...poorly.

Speaking of "30," she was talking about making a "rap dictionary." Looks like someone beat her to it. Then I started thinking about other cities use of slang, such as Hawaii's pidgin and so forth - and what do you know, I found this - "Slanguage - Talk Like the Locals." Pretty funny - AND entertaining. I must admit I use the term "Behind the Orange Curtain" all the time....
