Write or Rant.... ?

7

Pre-warning - this is a moany rant....

What is with people and dissing others without dissing them??

I mean seriously!!

I went on a (not-naming) forum earlier and there was a post which I read that has irked me! Basically some bloke has put a post entitled 'Referencing Question' so, you would think it was someone either asking about or giving advice about the title subject, right? Wrong!

Basically he has gone on to moan about people asking questions about referencing for their final essays. Well, I don't know about you, but when my final essay is due in I kinda wanna make it perfect. So I am one of those people he is moaning about who will ask for clarification on a point. 

I mean seriously, if he finds it irritating then don't read it (I know you are asking why i read his - well its coz he mislead me into reading it, and then when I saw what it was I was peeved coz he's wasted my blaady time!).

Well, I am glad to say there at least a few responses that put him in his place. Good. Quite rightly so.

Just coz he thinks he fecking perfect doesn't mean everyone is or has that much vanity either!

I mean comeon, referencing in the correct format is always something people find hard, so of all the things to take a dig at why choose referencing??

Well, anyway. Glad I got that off my chest.

On another note, one essay down, one more to go... Starting plan now... only 3000 words away from completing my second degree. Already have a Bachelors of Science, I will soon (hopefully - so long as I pass) have a Bachelors of Arts to go beside it.

Whoop Whoop

I have still been writing but not yet posted them as I haven't had chance to proof read for grammar (I can't moan at others poor grammar and not check my own - I hate predictive text changing my words - leading to another rant....) So once this essay is done (My personal deadline is next Monday night....) I will start on my story again. I will go back to a minimum of once a day chapters/posts.

Predictive Text -  that is a pet hate! I sent a text yesterday to my hubby to ask him to get some potatoes as we only had four left, I was cooking a roast and the shops were closed, whilst he had the car and was out with the boys. This text had read:

'Can u get potatoes from coop. John and Lucy closed and only got 4 for tea and the 2 jackets'

He had put seven potatoes in as jackets the day before but we had two left over. By coop I am talking the co-op, a small local supermarket all across UK that pride themselves in selling local food (the closest shop that is open on a Sunday). John and Lucy are the local farm shop, within walking distance.

Well luckily just after I text him, I got a call from the shop to say they were in fact open. So I text him back to say, well, what I had planned on saying 

'Ok, John phoned. We will get the tatties.'

Well, there's the irony - my PC wants to do the same here! Ha! 

So what actually went out was this: 

'Ok Hohn phone we will get tattoos'

Well, considering I don't have any tattoos (but I have been planning on getting one soon...) and by 'we' I am talking myself and my four year old daughter... I am sure you can imagine the shock when he received this!

He came home saying, 

'I'm just going to pop back out, I left my wallet at home so couldn't get the potatoes. When were you planning on telling me about the tattoo? I though you were staying home to study not going off into the city to get a tattoo?'

luckily he isn't stupid enough to think i'd get a tattoo for a 4 year old... But really? I mean I'd just text to say get potatoes "I AM COOKING NOW" why the heck would i then ditch cooking to go out and get a tattoo, whilst taking a four year old with me????

But hay, I can see the funny side of it, even if he hasn't yet..... 

Well at least predictive text didn't put an 'i' instead of the 'a' in tatties... I wonder what his reaction would have been to that....
