News – Johnny Depp dies in Car Crash

Jettica — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 09:58:45 +0000

It is trending on Twitter RIP Johnny Depp, this comes just 15 hours or so after I was considering starting a rumour that a celebritiy was dead. So, had Johnny Depp died in a car crash? Doesn’t look like it.

He’ll probably have to come out and make a statement saying that he hasn’t died. Wow, the power of Twitter.I wonder how it started.Did someone just decided to put RIP Johnny Depp on Twitter to see where it went?

It’d be horrific if Johnny Depp had died in a car crash. He’s an awesome guy. Maybe it’ll start floating around that Orlando Bloom was with him in the car accident. It’ll then start trending RIP Johnny Depp and RIP Orlando Bloom. Oh dear.

Well, Johnny Depp, I hope you aren’t dead and that you’ve had no sign of a car accident. Also, don’t think that you should die in a car accident just because Twitter says so.

So I casn confirm, Johnny Depp has not died. His death in a car crash is a hoax… I think.

Celebrities and Grammar

Jettica — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 09:44:14 +0000

I’ve always been a bit of a grammar nazi, at least to the really obvious mistakes that people make. I understand typos and I understand some general ignorance but what I don’t understand is why large companies don’t employ proof readers to go through their work. For example, I’ve seen signs that read something like:

“Jess’s website is awesome”

Whilst that statement may be true there is no need for that last ‘s’ on Jess’. Similarly when you are saying that something belongs to a pluralised group you don’t need the last ‘s’. For example:

“The dancers’ clothes weren’t ready.”

More than one dancer and the clothes that belong to them. The above statement is correct.

I believe Jason Manford, the comedian, put it brilliantly on Twitter the other day.

I had to reply to him with a huge round of applause and a small rant about that particular grammar fail. It impresses me and makes me very happy that he understands this as I’ve found maybe one other person in the world that can grasp this part of the English language.

When I was in highschool we went to McDonald’s and in there they had a sign that had mixed up the use of ‘your’ and ‘you’re.’ Suffice to say I corrected them, they took the sign down and redid one with the correct wording. Is it bad to be like this? Those little niggling grammatical mistakes that make me want to verbally assault the writer, I sort of understand the general public not getting these things (not every one is a writer with an English degree) but big businesses? My obsession with this goes so far that I correct people on facebook, I order fast food restaurants to change their signage and I chat with comedians about the annoyances of grammatical incorrectness.

Rant over. Please comment in a grammatically correct fashion.
