Although I’ve never had any critical problems in grammar, I was thinking maybe I should go study more literature just for the sake of picking up blondes.
@ iliketotallycool: don’t bother. it’s a foil by francesca. blondes typically are too dumb to understand anything beyond first year english classes. i tried quoting theodore roethke to one once and she was like “Moved in Circles? I LOVE TWISTER”
the only women who make the secondary echelon are brunettes.
It’s “has almost restored.” You could also write, “almost restores,” but then you’d need to change the verb tenses in the rest of your post. Also, though “sub-literate” might communicate your intended meaning quite well, it’s not the best word choice, and makes you appear uncultivated; “illiterate” or “uncultivated” would perhaps be better words to use there. Finally, “the fact that” is an unnecessary phrase, and one should do their utmost to eliminate it from nearly all intelligent writing.
I’m quite sure that there are typos or grammatical errors in this post, but frankly, my dears, I don’t give a damn. I accept that I make mistakes, and accept that other people make mistakes, as well. Instead of focusing on those flaws or problems that some people may have while communicating in writing, focus on Demetri’s creepiness, as well as on Francesca’s demonstrated naiveté when it comes to online interactions (because she made the classic mistake of feeding the troll…). But then again, I’m violating a few internet guidelines in this post, too. C’est la vie.
I didn’t see their comments, my bad – I skimmed through the comments as there is a fanfare of Ben hater posts which is annoying now, what has happened to the good old banter about the actual lame posts
Is it just me that thought Demetri was on a wind up? Trolling Facebook? Didn’t look to me at all like he was genuinely trying to attract them.
The links don’t convince me, it could still just be two different people with the name Demetri.
Also, did nobody else think the guy in the link sounds just like suttsteve, the middle aged guy on YouTube who used to post videos where he talked about really mundane stuff, and had his own YouTube sci-fi show, starring him in like, seven different roles? Man, he was awesome. Wish he hadn’t deleted his account.
“Difficultly” is a word. It’s an adverb. Look it up.
Also @Alas. Ouch. General but generally true. Just hope my girlfriend can deal with a lifetime of “Should i get UNSWEETENED soy milk? What brand?”
Although, isn’t it a little silly to say you’re only looking for “grammatical prowess” in a man? To look for a man that’s well-spoken is one thing, but…if you were on a date, and a girl asked, “What are some of your best traits?” And you responded, “Grammatical. Prowess.” Date over.
pwned!

*naïveté
Pedantrix made me laugh.
Courtesty and grammatical prowess he may lack, but you can’t say the boy isn’t determined!
@ ThinkingInPictures
‘look butterz’ is slang in the UK (I think more so in London) for very ugly.
It is indeed. It is a contraction of the phrase “but her face”, as in “I think she’s hot, but her face is minging.”
“Youve got a good look going on though, you get me?”
How do you respond to this? “No, please explain this in further d-bag detail.”
If the tool who keeps posting with my username is in this thread then I just wanted to say – fuck you.
@”real” Ben: you’re a tool, you’re Frodo and you don’t have a pool. Live with it.
As a blonde writer with an English lit degree, I take exception to that statement Dr. Azizted-Homicide! :-p 😉
And thanks everybody, the “butterface” thing is common where I’m from, I’d just never heard it shortened to “butterz” before.
Butterz, is that not short for “butt ugly”?
Yes spastix, as confirmed by Penny Lane, nim, and Ben, it is.

The girl’s got balls…
Ha, it doesn’t take balls to turn down a skeeze. She’s got some wit though 🙂

Wait, shit, where was I?
Me & Meat-ri are cut from the same cloth.

I’m blonde and slightly offended by your comment.

I bet Demetri can handle Demetri.
I for one, am on the Demetri side! nothing to do with having the same name or anything.. Go Demetri go!
There are over 5,000 Ashkans on Facebook. Wow.
Thank you, Cam!! I was trying to remember the name of this douchebag guy I had seen on the internet a few months ago and it’s Dimitri the Stud!!
i can sum up that whole conversation with one word “BURN”!!!
xsharpies – should have been ‘difficultly’ not ‘difficulty’, but he’s still a moron for correcting it and still getting it wrong.
I love how people start talking like those Joseph Ducreux memes when they plan on putting someone down for their dodgy grammar.
Lol this guy’s an ass.
Am I the only one who thinks his ”giant snake”, is infact a little worm?
