hey guys.
up for another post? well ready or not, here it comes.
Couple things...
1. Yesterday, I heard a bit of a catfight while in line to get something other than the umpeenth pizza or sandwich from my school's alternative to cafeteria food. School food is ok....as long as you don't have it every day. Which most of us have to do. I'm surprised the people who claim they can't eat the food here haven't tried to sue the school. Maybe there's no suitable law they could cling to, but I heard that the school immediately caved in when a lawyer was even mentioned in this one person's claim.
Anyway, back to the story. Even though I'm 50% Polish, I only know a few words. Pathetic, right? I think so, even if you don't. Not that it's exactly my fault. My Polish dad doesn't speak it either, and we never really hung out with our cousins often enough to pick up more than a "czesch" or...in this case..."Jestes s'winia!" (You're a pig!) Of all the insults, they used one I could understand. Ha. Suckers....thinking they could get away with it just because they were speaking Polish. See that's one of the things that kinda bugs me about some immigrants. They use their language to their advantage and insult us Americans, under the impression that we won't understand. Well that won't work on all of us!!! Nope. Ah...foreign languages...that aren't so foreign anymore. It's kinda cool how so many people are learning the basics of languages now. Almost everyone (well at least us educated, snobby people) knows some Spanish, French, German and Italian. Now we just have to learn Arabic and Chinese so we can stop the terrorists!
(just kidding. sorta)
2. The difference between to, two, and too for the people on Yahoo! answers that apparently don't know how to think.
To: what form of speech is this? hell if i know. but it is NOT the number and it does NOT mean "also". essential for infinitive verb translations....such as "to swim"=nadar (in common? spanish...wow so many dialects it's INSANE!!)
Two: the number. One, TWO, three..etc.
Too: You wanna go too? OR, more morbidly, Will you, too, SHUT UP!?!? (just another person to shush rather than "Will you two shut up!?!? if you are trying to angrily shush 2 people at the same time)
Wow. Apparently Gary is a bad influence on me. As are most people. b/c i'm an angel...yep yep!
Ok, let's go with one more. hm.
No. I'm tired. Bye! :P
