bahahaha nice.

It's 'tertiary', not 'post-secondary'... Please!

@ #47 - You're such a douche bag. Why do you feel the incentive to constantly correct people? Let it be. This is a forum, not a writing exam. Anyways, sorry but I think YDI for not having the jumper cables handy. Common sense.

i keep thinking that says "too bad you kept your tights on!" ftw, ik.

Calm down. They say Uni all over the world. If u don't know and it really makes u stamp your little feet in anger then look it up.

Im pretty sure everyone but you knew he was saying University :/

There's limited space to type FML's, abbreviating might have kept him from going over the character limit.

Is this kid joking?

Apparently only you don't know what she's talking about.

pedantic, every time I see you post, there seems to always be some interesting debate. I also tend to correct people when they try to correct someone else and make errors. Likewise, I will correct you here: rather than "an idiot," it should be "idiots."

lmao

Everyone and their great grandma knew what the OP was talking about except for you, dumbass, so don't try to belittle anyone here when you're too stupid to use the little brains you have to figure out what the OP meant. When you learn how to spell out the words "you," "your," "are," "people," "yourself," "like," and "why," THEN you can start talking shit about someone else not spelling out a word. Until then, shut the **** up.

Thankyou for typing that response for me, I wholeheartedly agree. You also saved my thumbs from a lot of work as I'm on my phone. If there was a 'rep' system, there would definitely be some love coming from my direction. Cheers.

You're most welcome. :)

@#30, better not let snickerdoodles catch you stealing her act. There's only room for one grammar nazi here.

How the **** should we know what a uni is? It's bad enough the foreigners refer to it as university in the first place now they abbreviate it and expect re rest of us to understand it. Then they call jumper cables leads.

Really? You're going to call them an idiot because they don't know what uni means?? That's super mature...

I'm actually gonna agree with pendatic. Even if you couldn't figure out what the OP meant by just reading it, if 44 would have just read a few comments, he/she would have known. 44's lack of knowledge is his own fault, so yes, I would say he/she is an idiot.

Obsessively correcting people and trying to gain a sad sense of superiority on the comment section of a humor website = really pathetic. This is a sad new generation of lonely and useless people with no social skills or but plenty of free time. I guess the people that think using perfect grammar and spelling on FML are the ones whose lives ARE this website - they seem to spend all their time here. It's easy to appear intelligent on the internet, where Google, dictionaries and thesaurases are a click away. Correcting people on FML doesn't make you smart, sorry.

Even the comments refer to it as uni, not university. She would have had to read almost all the posts to get it. I had never heard the term uni before the post so I don't blame her. I don't mean to correct pendatic. I just think it was a little harsh to say she was idiotic. Ignorant maybe?

Totally agree with you that the wording was bad.

So, I guess you go to THE school too and attend THE classes there. Sometimes a definite article is unnecessary. It's neither stupid nor pretentious, it's just how the language works.

How is calling the place in question what it actually is, with proper grammar, pretentious at all? Nice attempt at insulting me and trying to seem smart but it had no substance at all.

You could just call it college as well, same damn thing. ydi for not having jumper cables.

I think you mean "the" college. :P

Everyone in NZ calls it "Uni", that's just our slang. Seriously, even the professors call it Uni. And saying "I went to the university" does sound very strange. I don't care if it's grammatically correct. Maybe the OP should have made herself more clear, but she probably didn't even think that other people wouldn't understand what she meant. I didn't realise that Americans are the only people in the world that are allowed to have their own slang which nobody else understands.

Stop trying to argue against a non-existing comment. No one said that slang was limited to U.S. English. All cyg was trying to say was that nzl was being an idiot for crapping on actual words. What nzl said could be equivalent as saying that anyone saying "going to" rather than "gonna" is pretentious.

no, i was trying saying that if you said I'm going to "the university" in NZ you would sound like a pretentious twat. rolls eyes.

No, college in NZ means secondary school.
