On Modern Americans: Bad Grammar

This will be the first post of a few posts explaining what I hate about modern people.

Something that I dislike a lot is people who use incorrect grammar in their speech. One of the most common mistakes I hear is "me and someone did something." The correct way to say it is "someone and I did something," but apparently to other people, it doesn't sound right. I disagree.

The second most common mistake I hear is people not using "an" when it is supposed to be used. I really don't understand why people make these mistakes because it's all simple grammar that we learn in elementary school.

Day 5 Of Mexico Trip

At the airport, I had to hold in a massive pee for over 10 minutes after drinking 2 bottles of water, a lemonade, a gatorade, and an orange juice. Then, I passed out for half an hour on the plane. In the car back from the airport, I had to sit in the back with Ann and Lillie, who were both relatively overweight , squeezing me a little bit . After a whole week of being away from screens, my mom didn't even let me hop on my iPad for a few minutes to continue my Duolingo streak. Then, she made me go to bed early at 7.

Exhibit 1: Poker Face by Mini Pop Kids So here we have the Mini Pop Kids version of Poker Face. Here are some of the lyric changes.

I'll get him hot, show him what I got turns into I'll get his heart, show him what I got This makes it not even Lady Gaga's style any more. She's got me like nobody turns into She's got you like nobody WTF. This is a completely unnecessary edit that changed the song for the worse. The girl did not get me. P-p-p-poker face, f-f-f*** her face turns into P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face This one is sensible. 'Cause I′m bluffin' with my muffin turns into something that sounds like 'Cause I′m bluffin' with my chocolate This makes to sense. The boy in the background also can't hit any of the low notes. The girl fails to use Lady Gaga's uninteres...

On Modern Americans: Ignorance

Contrary to popular belief, idiocy  is not the same as ignorance. Idiocy is the inability to reason, and ignorance is the lack of knowledge. 15% of American teens don't know that the Declaration of Independence of adopted on July 4, 1776. The funny thing about this is that these are native-born Americans. This is because immigrants would have to study all about the government to pass the test, but natives can just be ignorant and still be fine. 35% of Americans don't know that there are 9 justices on the Supreme Court. This has the same reason as the last problem. 75% of children aged 6 to 12 years cannot read clocks. This article says "Don't worry—you're not alone." Even though this is true, it is still worrying matter, even though the article tells you not to worry, because reading a clock is a very simple thing that a lot of kids learn in first and second grade. They somehow forget that skill, or their worksheets are completed by their parents. 75% of A...
