I would like to dive into one of the many pet peeves I have in life.... incorrect use of homophones. For those members of my audience that are less educated or state school alumni, let me assist all of your lives and provide participating parties with some new grammar and vocabulary knowledge. Which reminds of me of one of my favorite clichés, "you learn something new every day!"
A homophone is a word that is the same in sound but different in spelling and meaning. For instance: there, they're, their, to, two, too, your, you're. So yes this might be a lot for some of you to take in, but I will not give up now! I want to reach out to my eager classroom with some little examples. I think this short vocab lesson can and hopefully will benefit lots of peeps!
That drunk slut is lying passed out over THERE on the ground again.
Hurry your ass; THEY'RE closing the liquor store at 10 tonight!
Those guys have the right idea to get women, THEIR dog is too freaking cute!
Please notice the differentiation in SPELLING as well as USAGE.
Teach me how TO dougie, teach me, teach me, teach me how TO dougie.
I like my dudes single, my dicks in TWOS!
I personally love that hairy bitch over there TOO.
Pay attention to the different spelling/ meaning behind all of these EVERY DAY words. As creepy as this may sound, I catch glimpses of way too many MISSPELLED INCORRECT wall posts and picture comments every day on the good book. It infuriates me, as well as many of the educated friends I roll with. If you find yourself struggling and really can't spell or even second-guess your skills, I suggest Mozilla Firefox browser. It's so helpful it underlines misspelled words for all doofuses.
Hope this lesson wasn't too boring... I don't want to get any more livid at mistakes than I have to; c'mon homies spelling and using these words is child's play.
