So when I say I got laid, I objectify myself?
According to this guide, you would be lying.
A cool guide would have explained the underlying rule that helps you remember these.
You mean like how it does that at the top of the page?
If you're talking about an object it's the left side. If you're talking about people in rest it's the right.
You need to lie down in order to get laid.
Explains the difference between lie and lay (hopefully).
I remember it because people lie, as in tell untruths.
We're too far into idiocracy. You'd be made fun of and told you talk funny.
past tense of Lie s'not Lied??
Meh, you know what I mean anyway.
This may be beyond most people on the internet. We're still dealing with
- 'literally' is not 'figuratively'
- 'mail' (and thus 'e-mail') , like 'traffic', gets no S on the noun; ever.
- 'that' vs 'whom'
- 'any way' vs 'anyway' and others like 'startup' vs 'start up' (which are as different as "What's up, Chuck?" vs "What's upchuck?")
- comma placement, for that matter; because "What's up, Chuck?" is not the same as "What's up Chuck?"
- the comma is not a period, nor a semi-colon, nor a colon.
- the semi-colon is near the 'L' key
.. and other easy stuff. I think the reluctance to keep kids back a grade has led to graduates like my niece who cannot make change from a dollar and can't spell the 'first-1000' words on her own.
... literally is an intensifier. It's been used as such for 300 years. Making the argument that it should only be used literally isn't some new thing and it certainly isn't correct either. Do you also get confused by other words with two conflicting meanings? Do you think a meat cleaver sticks meat together?
You seem to be missing a colon in your comment, that's the little symbol with two dots and should be used when starting a list in that fashion, FYI.
Also in what I assume was your haste to demonstrate that you use semicolons, you have misused the semicolon twice.
