Grammar Nazi

This one goes out to all grammar Nazis.

 Ever write a post or put up a status and  ketch yourself trying to remember how to spell a word?

 Being part of the social media generation I find myself often seeing words that are spelled incorrectly. 

Now this post is not for the crowd “oh, gorsh is just a social media post not a scholarly paper"

 This post is for everyone.

 Admit it, raise yuh hand if you ever stopped typing a message to go check Google to see if you spell a word correctly?

 Or call a friend next to you to check it over?

 It happens!

I’ve seen people criticize others for spelling ‘their’ instead of ‘there’ and on top of that call them  E-LITTER-RATE (I’m not making up anything. I saw this on Facebook recently)

 Peeps, I can only assume E-LITTER-RATE is an internet sensation of kittens who share high ratings 

Urban Dictionary here is one to add to the list!

There are the self-proclaimed grammar Nazis who cannot stand to spell words wrong

Come nah man don’t do me that!

According to Rodey “why yuh doin it ?’

I mean how can you criticise and don’t hit spell check ?.

It’s one thing to notice a spelling error (p.s congrats my friend)

 But why do we feel the need to put people on blast

And then to make things worse, put yourself on blast

There are many reasons for bad spelling including typos

 Other times it might just be the persons spelling ability is not that great.

Yes we might chuckle

Here’s a thought, instead of showing off your glorified superiority in the University of Facebook …

Hit ah spell “Cheque” na!

And Saturday is CAURA!! (Offroading)

Trinidadians lime anywhere and we know this!

And I mean anywhere.

 One time,I literally saw a group of people liming by a gas station, in Tacarigua, on the Main Road.

And I'm not talking just assembling with a couple of beers in hand,

No!

Lime in full swing-

Food

Cooler with Drinks 

Music

Group of approximately 6  

Pack of cards.

They looked as though they just came back from the beach-part II of the lime probably or maybe just a stop for gas.

Back to Caura

-Peaceful Environment 

-Bush on the left

-Trees on the right

-Birds whistling

-Rain

-Possible land marks- the bamboo patch , the very tall tree 🤣

-Rivers (we crossed so many) just to reach the perfect spot.
And you know we Trinbagonians could find a spot 

Check out the beauty of our island below!

Trinidad is a paradise..

You all see that water sparkling?💖

Crossing one of the many rivers to reach the perfect spot.

Hiking to the Main Road...but wait,,,let us take a selfie!

THE ANTHOLOGY OF HORN (scientific)

In this article, the author will be reviewing the parameters and causes of a trending and significant topic in Trinbagonian pop- culture as well as musical anthologies used as research on infidelity. In simple terms how do you determine the basis of a horn?

According to “Shadow”( 2000 )  to be a candidate for such a phenomenon one must  first answer specific questions such as: “ you working ?,  you joking, you dealing, you stealing ?”If your answer to these specifics are all met with ,no, then you are in fact a candidate for horn and have also created the parameter from which horn is based also know as the  “you looking for horn”.

According to Cassi (2014) when horn is achieved in many cases, candidates develop emotions and need for stability which he coined as the “I want to be the man in yuh house and not the Horner man” syndrome .This data corresponds and interacts with a branch of the study done earlier of plausibility of a horner man experiencing his own phenomenon this study by Shadow (2011) “Horner man crying”  suggest that the “horner man’ can be “horned” .Supporting the basis of the study of thought “karma” positing that what goes around, comes back around.

 After years of seeing the effects researchers have tried to determine what creates the best subject to act on these impulse .Trinidad Ghost (2017) created a list (Dem does horn (2017)) of genetic as well as social implications of horn such as one must be “red with tattoos (he later confirmed this works for dougla girls as well), overly social natures can also lead to such tendencies eg. “girls with 5000 friends, dem does horn”. Danger (2017) expanded the list disproving a portion of Trinidad ghost theory, suggesting that ‘femme infedelus’( gyal who does horn) was actually a restriction on the topic and that ‘horner men’ can be defined by a two to one ratio  (2:1) of baby mothers (“man who ha two baby mother”) as well as indecisiveness (‘man who does say doh bother”)

This author believes that these interactions and  responses to genetic theories and bodies of work create broad suggestions without much active testing being done.The author does believe however that a horn is possible, but suggest that it is only defined as one  only when you take it on” .So stop being ridiculous.
