Comment from the department of linguistic assholism

Submitted by petros (not verified) on Thu, 2007-12-06 05:14.

Maybe this will reveal more about my own deficiencies than I would like, but here's my observation:

Satyre of the language really works well, and it also helps to liberate usage
of the language if it's done properly. But the makers of the
video disempowered those who would benefit from it by misspelling
two words:

at 1:51 they misspelled "dissatisfaction" (injecting me with some),

and,

at 1:55 they misspelled "incompetence" (thereby displaying some).

They should have avoided generating the impression that grammar is something for which they do not give a flying duck.

Still, it was fun.
