"Someone bought the supposedly house on Joralemon Street"
what is a supposedly house? i suggest reading out loud slowly. it's a great way to proofread.
Oh, thanks! I was hoping you could catch something!
That's funny, I was hoping YOU could catch something. Seeing as though it's your job and all.
Look at everyone hating on Jen. Relax, folks.
BTW, what's with all the wasted electricity at the HSBC Building in the photo? They have lay-offs daily, but they use lighting like it's Luna Park.
And Favreau is a putz. You've got to know when you post that stuff, someone is going to see it. You posted it because you wanted people to see it. He was so proud of how witty he was being, feeling up the enemy. And now he's an ashamed little boy.
"A teaful O.J. Simpson"
what is this??? was he at a tea party prior to sentencing??????
rubyredhead appears to be a typical xenophobic racist ugly american
I dont read this site for the perfect grammar, I read it for the excellent content. Jen Chung adds more to this site than anyone. Dont let the mean commentators get you down Jen..we all love you.
benji, really you need to be restrained.
I was thinking about it and I changed my mind..Ruby is right, you guys should proofread. Don't contribute to the dumbing down of America.
this is fun, I have never commented on articles before..I have to go shower and shave...then I wil be back with more comment. Hopefully I wont get any shampoo in my eye and end up with tea dripping down my face. Jen Chung you have been served!
Readers-- do you think I like getting these comments about how I'm stupid and that I should proofread? Yes, I would LOVE to be perfect, but mistakes will unfortunately happen. I am TRYING.
So, again, thanks for the feedback. And I doubt this is the first or last time I will have been served. Time to move on!
I support you trying Jen..I think,,,I have to check with my friend. Anyway, I dont want you to be sad
Look, I used to toss a zing or two at Jen, and truth be told, there are enough editing tools that spelling errors shouldn't occur. But this is a decent site, with good content, if at times heavy on the Wal-Mart stampede of the moment. This isn't the Wall Street Journal, so if the grammar doesn't meet your level, try to lighten up. The writing here is way better than the Post, and that dillweed in the fake Plaxico jersey. Keep it up, Jen, et al.
also, I sincerely dont think that grammar or spelling neccessarily reflects on intelligence at all. I am very impressed by anyone that can speak and write in more than one language.
15 you are insane. and funny. 15 is paid to be funny and we get it all here for free. how snice.
what is a "snice" please proofread your comments
"what is a "snice" please proofread your comments"
rubyredhead: pwned!
that's what i love about you grammar complainers, once we get you to post more than one comment, you inevitably make a mistake, proving that you aren't a better writer, just an asshole.
F you Zodak..you are the asshole, Rubyredhead was just trying to make the world and this site a better place.
snice is a joke. it's a vegetarian restaurant in the west village.
Jen-
Glad to hear you are trying. I only point it out to be constructive. I love the ist but the lack of basic proofreading does get frustrating sometimes. I mean you left out an entire word. Anyway, I don't know rubyredhead and what their intent was, but the suggestion is great nonetheless. Reading aloud is a great way to proofread.
Maybe this badboy would help you out.
oh Iloveanimalsandchinesepeople, did my comments bother you? i guess it's because in your multiple posts you also made mistakes, unless you really do wash your hair with tea:
"Hopefully I wont get any shampoo in my eye and end up with tea dripping down my face."
scout1, "badboy" is not a word.
more evidence that you assholes aren't as smart as you think you are.
The distinction, zodak, is that the editors have access to tools that would catch things liek typos. As a reading leaving comments, I have no such support. So if I tpye incorectly, pleas frgive me.
Bottom line is that we all consume a ton of the assorted -ist postings, we enjoy reading them, and we think Jen looks pretty good in the blue ringer T-shirt. Oops, did I say that last bit out loud?
Oops, left 2 typos in there accidently. I, of course, meant "things like typos" and "as a reader". Shame on me.
zodak is clearly a maniac and retarded.
zodak you stupid shit, "ending up with tea dripping down my face" was INTENTIONALLY written like that. The fact That you don't realize that is hilarious!
Badboy may not be a word, but I don't purport to be an editor for a living. Are you suggesting that I can't say a football player made a bad play because I'm not in the NFL?
i'm sure "necessarily" was spelled wrong intentionally & that you always capitalize letters in the middle of a sentance.
if you are going to correct someone else's grammar, yours should be beyond reproach.
assholes.
Right, that's a smart rule to live by. So don't point out anything that's wrong unless you're perfect. I saw a truck almost run over a person and informed the driver that he should be more careful, but since I once didn't signal when changing lanes, I was really out of line.
The point is that I am not an "editor" that makes a living writing. Why should my grammar be beyond reproach? All of this underscores how BLATANT the errors are on here when people like me and Iloveanimalsandchinesepeople, with our obvious low levels of grammatical skills, are able to identify these gaffes.
At the end of the day, you're not even smart enough to realize the intentional misspelling was being used to demonstrate the point.
Oh, and sentences start with capital letters, just for the record. And you spelled "sentence" wrong.
FTW.
"The fact That you don't realize that is hilarious!"
notice That?
HAHAHAHA! I AM NOT CLAIMING TO BE GOOD AT GRAMMAR AND/OR PROOFREADING. That is why I am not an editor for a living. That is the whole point, you dolt!
