      I am pretty sure 90% of tweets on Monday and Friday are about it being Monday or Friday.

      The Alot is Better Than You at Everything

      <Great tips for dealing with bad grammer on the internet from Hyperbole and a Half>

      As a grammatically conscientious person who frequents internet forums and YouTube, I have found it necessary to develop a few coping mechanisms.  When someone types out "u" instead of "you," instead of getting mad, I imagine them having only one finger on each hand and then their actions seem reasonable.  If I only had one finger on each hand, I'd leave out unnecessary letters too.

      Media_http2bpblogspot_eaqvt

      If I come across a person who seems to completely ignore the existence of apostrophes and capital letters and types things like "im an eagle and im typing with my talons, so dont make fun of me cuz this is hard," I like to imagine that they actually they actually are an eagle typing with their talons.  It would be a hassle if you had to hop in the air and use your feet to karate- chop two keys simultaneously every time you wanted to use the shift key to make a capital letter.   Also, eagles lack manual dexterity, so I can understand why they'd want to leave out apostrophes.  Eagles are all about efficiency.

      Media_http1bpblogspot_teaen

      But there is one grammatical mistake that I particularly enjoy encountering.  It has become almost fun for me to come across people who take the phrase "a lot" and condense it down into one word, because when someone says "alot," this is what I imagine:

      Media_http4bpblogspot_owotm

      The Alot is an imaginary creature that I made up to help me deal with my compulsive need to correct other people's grammar.  It kind of looks like a cross between a bear, a yak and a pug, and it has provided hours of entertainment for me in a situation where I'd normally be left feeling angry and disillusioned with the world.
      For example, when I read the sentence "I care about this alot," this is what I imagine:

      Media_http3bpblogspot_ixjft

      Similarly, when someone says "alot of _______", I picture an Alot made out of whatever they are talking about.  

      Media_http3bpblogspot_jjphy

      Media_http3bpblogspot_jbkwf

      Media_http3bpblogspot_ggprb

      Media_http1bpblogspot_eeyvb

      If someone says something like "I feel lonely alot" or "I'm angry alot," I'm going to imagine them standing there with an emo haircut, sharing their feelings with an Alot.

      Media_http2bpblogspot_xdlhu

      The Alot is incredibly versatile.

      Media_http4bpblogspot_nfkqa

      Media_http2bpblogspot_bgfrk

      Media_http3bpblogspot_knefv

      Media_http1bpblogspot_dacfd

      So the next time you are reading along and you see some guy ranting about how he is"alot better at swimming than Michael Phelps," instead of getting angry, you can be like "You're right!  Alots are known for their superior swimming capabilities."

      Ranked "Dang!" At 25th out of 39 rootbeers. Not too bad but a little bit of a funny after taste.

      I should make cinnamon raisin bread every morning, even if I am not going to eat it, just because of how delicious it smells.

      Wow, I just realized that this page is the #2 google result for "how do i get an upside down question mark on the droid" so i should probably tell you how...

      Press shift, then alt, then the question mark. Voila, an upside down question mark.

      (For the record it doesn't matter if you press shift then alt or alt then shift, as long as you press them both before pressing the question mark.)

      Saw a car drag a giant orange cone under its front bumper for at least 3 blocks. I don't think that thing is coming off.
