0 My Pet Peeve

Nothing makes me want to rush off to the nail salon, get the longest ghetto ass nails put on (temporarily please) and CLAW SOME EYES OUT like someone saying "110%".

Yes Randy Jackson, you're the WORST culprit in the good ol' US of A coz you have a platform. Now you have influenced generations of young Americans (who won't read!!! so they don't know any better) to say the same damn thing!!!

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHH!

Okay, let me school you.

% indicates out of 100 - thus perCENT. So the moment you say 110% you ain't sayin' NOTHING. It doesn't make any sense!!! That is 110/100 which is 1.1, so what are you saying? What does it mean? Why wouldn't you say ABSOLUTELY, like you sometimes do or I REALLY LIKE YOU. Leave the poor ol' % out of your mess!!!! 

That was for Ma Dawg (Isn't this 2011, isn't that kinda over?), the next is for y'all.

If you decide to use percentages in your conversation, remember you have ONE HUNDRED numbers to use. You can say, I agree with you 100% which means you have no objections or you could use a lower number. When you install  software on your computer it never says 110% completed. NEVER. Because 100% means complete, total. If you don't agree completely with no objections use a lower number. Pick one!!! You have 99 other numbers to choose from. Okay? It does NOT MAKE SENSE once you pass 100.

Phew. Class is 

100% complete ████████████████████████████

0 Narcissists Cheating?!

by Shay

A new study done by Ohio State University, as reported on the Huffington Post, shows that "Narcissistic college students are more likely to cheat on tests".  I fail to see where the news is in this particular study.  Narcissists will eat their off-spring, mow down their grannies and carry on that path with undisguised zeal. Just because they happen to be in college shouldn't make them worthy of this study.

In this captivating study, assistant Psychology Professor Amy Brunell adds "Narcissists feel the need to maintain a positive self-image and they will sometimes set aside ethical concerns to get what they want." 

I mean, really, you spent all this time coming to this very minuscule conclusion.  I'm glad academia is proving to be one of the least innovative and thought provoking establishments around as they collect more navel-gazers without much to contribute to the world of research and development.

On to more pressing things! Eating with left hand and surfing the net with the right one.
