Strong Bad Grammar

I've got that Strong Bad Grammar song going through my head.

Do you know the one? It's the one he sings during the "Local News" email, and you can play again and again and again at the end of the email when you click on the CD?

By now you're in one of two camps:

1. Who or what the hell is Strong Bad?
2. What the hell is grammar?

Let's take this one thing at a time. To view Strong Bad in all his glory, go to http://www.homestarrunner.com and click on "sb emails" at the bottom of the page. I thoroughly recommend wasting your time on this site.

Apart from Strong Bad, there is the Teen Girl Squad, which is amazing.

The song that's going through my head is: "Ohhhhh, if you want it to be possessive, it's just "ITS" but if you want it to be a contraction then it's "IT-APOSTROPHE-S"...scalawag!"

I work at Pure Networks, and we make home networking software. The reason why this song is going through my head is that we get support requests from people all day long who are semi-, sub- and illiterate. Everytime I get an email for support where someone asks: "My computer rebooted and lost all of it's data" (sic) or "I love you're (sic) software", the song goes through my head.

Well, in the last case, the song that goes through my head is the classic "Y-O-U-R...Y-O-U-APOSTROPHE-R-E...they're as different as night and day. Don't you think that night and day are different? What's wrong with you?"

And if I have to explain what grammar, is...well, I'll leave that particular rant to another blog entry.
What's wrong with you?
