Alright, I've decided to make this first post about another blog. Some other people may have read it. It's called The Anti-Austen Blog.
First off, please learn how to write. I know that at least one of you is a writer. How do you explain your terrible grammar and punctuation and word choice?
For example, one of the writers wrote, "my interest was peaked." Really? You're in college and you don't know the difference between peaked and piqued?
Here's another example for you readers. They were talking about a bunch of people that they compared to a Mr. Collins (a character in a Jane Austen novel). They mentioned them as Collins's.
Again. Really? I know that you got it right in a later post (Collinses), but you should have gotten it right on your first post. Your teachers should have drilled that into your heads when you were in elementary school.
I'll just skip over the occasional missed capitalization because I know that that's sometimes just an oversight of someone who is in a rush to post something about their remarkable dating life in Provo.
By the way, you guys make it so easy to find something to laugh at in every single thing that you post on your blog. And I'm not talking about the laughter that you're trying for where we laugh at the stories that you're telling. I'm talking about the laughter where I'm laughing at how very true the stereotypes of women are.

Tellin' it how it is,
The Unobtrusive One
