Aim and Facebook

Aim has an annoying habit of correcting my grammar when it comes to my status on Facebook. She’s obsessive compulsive about it. In fact, whenever anybody messes up their status line – I hear it from Amy.

Alright, maybe not every time but it does bug her when people don’t erase the “is” on their status line and it reads something like this…

“Grant English is went to the store.”

or

“Suzanne Davidson is likes to sleep when the kids are playing in the kitchen with sharp knives.”

(Suzanne does NOT let her kids play with sharp knives. Nor does she sleep when they do…if they did…at least to my knowledge.)

Anyway, I’ve had a couple of status reports that weren’t exactly up to her grammatical standards the last few days. As a result I’m going to have to start doing it on purpose now and I need some ideas.

“Grant is likes the new movie of James Bond.”
“Grant is thinks the Broncos will beat the snot out of Atlanta.”
“Grant is the downstairs couch is very comfortable.”

  7. If you use Twitter and any other social networking sites, I would suggest looking into Ping.fm which allows you to update your status across the board. The input box does not include an “is” and it won’t add an “is” when it posts to Facebook.

    I agree with her. It bugs me too, but I don’t let it get to me.

    It DOES bug me. I have never said anything about it until ONCE last night and the blogger was in a mood and decided to say that I COMPLAIN about it!!! It has made for some interesting comments. Much more entertaining than football blogs!! :)

  11. Grant says:

    Ohhh, the football will continue until the morale improves.

  12. Kitty says:

    Delete the “is.” I’m definitely with Amy! (And I’m pretty sure that Rowland didn’t get any that night either!)
