Mother knows best

By crushed - 29/03/2009 06:40 - United States

Today, I was hanging with my boyfriend. When his mom came to pick him up, he introduced me. She talked to me politely and I thought we hit it off very well. As I was walking away, I heard her say, "That's your new girlfriend? Honey, you could do so much better." FML

I don't know if you did anything "wrong". Maybe you came off as standoffish (which could be because you were nervous and didn't know her). Maybe she's just a bitch. I don't know. Let's just hope that either a) your boyfriend doesn't bow/bend to what mama thinks or b) you dump his ass (as in stop associating with him altogether) before he dumps you.

Dude, I love grammar fights! Is it really that hard for people to take 2 seconds (less than 2, actually) to find which "your/you're" to use? By the way, what did #1 say? His comment was moderated.

#35 - I'm wondering how you figure that I feel I have to be right all the time.

"Notice the two spaces after a period which most of you did not do." -26 That was the convention before the advent of the computer. Now that we have word processing programs that can adjust the amount of space between words (think of "justified" text), this is no longer necessary. Plus, it has nothing to do with grammar (it's more like typography or something) – there is no analogous thing that you do when writing by hand. "#14, if we're getting picky, your period should have been inside of your "quotations." :)" -37 This is an American/British difference; neither is more "right" or "wrong" than the other. I'm American but prefer the British way – especially with exclamation points or question marks that are my own, which it would sometimes be misleading to ascribe to the person being quoted.

What is with the grammar argument? Does it matter? This is the internet. A lot of people use chatspeak or whatever. Anyway, don't stress it. You aren't dating his mom.

I meant to edit and add this, but the time was over: The punctuation at the end of the original post, however, should be inside under either system, as a whole sentence of dialogue is being quoted.

# 43: They something something along the lines of "Don't be so ugly next time."

Faggots: Intellect should be based on the person's state of mind, and, their perception of the world. There is no common or universal intellect, but, rather it being pivotal to your own. When you push grammar unto other individuals, you are pushing what you believe is intellect unto others. My opinion, and, hopefully if your not dumb enough, you can conclude to what I'm trying to say. OP: I must admit, you must be doing a whole lot for him in bed if even his mom says that within hearing distance, or, your smoking hot and you just seem like a total dumbass to his mom.

#26: Two spaces after a period is an archaic convention from the era of typewriters. It's not needed, wanted, or enforced now.
