PLEASE, PEOPLE, STOP…<\/h1>\n

…saying you might<\/em> have plans, when you don’t, when someone is going to ask you you someplace. You can admit you’re free, and then still decline if the proposed plans aren’t up your alley! There\u2019s no such thing as \u201cmight\u201d have plans\u2014you either have them or your don’t\u2014that\u2019s what \u201cplans\u201d are!<\/p>\n

\"plan2\"<\/a>…declining plans by saying that you don’t know what<\/em> your plans are yet! That just means you’re holding out for something better. Once you accept, those are<\/em> your plans!!! I hope no one waits for you!<\/p>\n

…saying \u201cme and my friend,\u201d \u201cme and him,\u201d \u201cme and…\u201d anything! Has no one in this country gone to school??? The rule is that you put the other person<\/em> first! Maybe all this horrible grammar also shows how many people don\u2019t put other people first in life<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u2026 using \u201cI\u201d and \u201cme\u201d incorrectly, while we\u2019re at it. It doesn’t make you classier to use \u201cI\u201d if it\u2019s the incorrect pronoun! To do it right, just think of it this way in your head before you say it: Remove the other person from the sentence, and you\u2019ll immediately hear which is correct. Then just add them back in. (Example: \u201cAlice and I went to the fair.\u201d Remove \u201cAlice\u201d and it\u2019s \u201cI<\/em> went to the fair,\u201d not \u201cMe<\/em> went to the fair.\u201d Also, \u201cHe gave the candy to Alice and me\u201d would read \u201cHe gave the candy to me<\/em>,\u201d not \u201cHe gave the candy to I<\/em>.\u201d I hope that helps you understand the grammar rule. (If you still don\u2019t get it, but are smart enough to want<\/em> to get it right, just look it up on-line. It\u2019s very easy to find.)<\/p>\n

\"elmerfudd.gif\"<\/a>…wearing hats and sunglasses on top of your head and updos to the theatre! Any<\/em> kind of theatre, even a standing-only festival! Do you really not realize that someone will be sitting\/standing behind you?! How selfish can you be?<\/p>\n

–saying, \u201cit went to spam!\u201d Do none of you check your spam, or \u201cjunk mail,\u201d folders at least once a week??? And if you don\u2019t, why not? You know that things go there, don\u2019t you?! Or are you just an idiot? I do not accept that as an excuse for not answering emails anymore. Just check your junk mail all the time, if only to delete it!<\/p>\n

…talking loudly in public. No one wants to hear your conversations, especially not when you\u2019re on your phone!<\/p>\n

…being rude in general. Duh.<\/p>\n

This last one isn\u2019t a \u201cstop doing,\u201d but rather a \u201cdon\u2019t forget to!\u201d I\u2019m reminding you to follow me on Twitter right now, (if you\u2019re not one of the thousands who already does!,) because I\u2019ll once again be live-tweeting the Emmys on Sunday, beginning with the arrivals. @MajorCelebrity. So please excuse me while I go sharpen my fangs in advance!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
