Maybe a typo but still funny…
Good luck…
unless he edited his post, i read it to say “Second, I have off school for Columbus Day,” which, except for the fact that he put “second” in front of it, is exactly the same as the first thing you wrote.
im 22y/o and other than the fact that its typical for a high school kid to think hes going to gain a remarkable amount of size in one day, i dont see anything wrong with what he wrote.
lol
Yet again I weep for the youth…
=-)
its really funny that you keep making the same comment. im glad that youre having a hilarious inside joke with yourself. at this point, i concede all knowledge of the english language to you. now, is there any chance you could just explain what was wrong?
‘I have off school’ is just appalling grammar; ‘I have the day off school’ would be fine, but the first phrase is lazy, it’s like writing ‘I do big deadlift’.
Even saying ‘I school have off’ would be an improvement because then he’d sound like Yoda, and you can’t knock Yoda. [/quote]
what country are you from? he didnt say “i have off school”- he said “i have off school for columbus day”. you cant take the rest of the sentence away and judge it based of part of the sentence. the english in that statement is perfectly fine.
besides the fact that even if it werent, we all knew damn well what he meant. you go ahead and weep for the youth, well go ahead and keep laughing at “old-timers” that have nothing better to do than nit-pick.
