And then you realize that English makes no sense

"Hey, why can't you show up on time??" means "Hey why can not you show up on time??"

I hate everybody right now.

I remember sitting in classrooms with these jackoffs when the whole thing was just beginning: "I was LITERALLY walking down the street when..."
"Were you? Literally walking down the street? Not just hypothetically or metaphorically?"
They just gave you this fuckin' look like who is this asshole.

We need to find the guy responsible for the further degradation of the English language and leave an all too literal poop sack on his doorstep.

BubberkillAnd then you realize that English makes no sense

"Hey, why can't you show up on time??" means "Hey why can not you show up on time??"

I'm pretty sure english actually says that something like "can't you" turns into "can you not".

I'm pretty sure english actually says that something like "can't you" turns into "can you not".

I remember it being "can not." Just think of the word don't, which is "do not."

"Do not you want your milk?"

Holy shit guys.

You realize that this "degradation" of the English language has gone on for many many years, right? That there's a reason why English in 2012 is very different from English in 1700 even though they're both the same language? That there always is and will be a subset of people upset with new colloquialisms or shifted meanings on words?

I don't understand why it's considered "butchering" the English language. If you look up the etymology of many common words, I can guarantee you'll find a few whose meaning has shifted entirely. This isn't an egregious offense. (That's a joke, in case you think it's condescending)
