What you didn't learn in my class

I saw, magneted to a refrigerator in the home of a friend of ours, an invitation they received that appeared to have been done by a good computer student.  It had the graduate's picture and a printed date, time, and place. I thought that the artistic elements were very good.  Maybe the grad herself did the work.  The graduating girl on the invite was very beautiful and looked sweet enough to add to chocolate pudding.  The invitation  said in large letters, right across the top so God and everyone could see it: 

YOUR INVITED !

Real nice. Send her back to school. I really don't think this is any better than, oh let's say, this:  Cum to mi Par-TEE! which might reflect an acceptable contemporary texting model. 

How is "your" passable in any jargon?

How about 'of' for 'have'?? Drives me crazy: He should of called her back. Your right, though. And, I'm always amazed at some of the places wrong words show up at.

is "show up at" proper or could
" show up " do the job by itself ???

Just asking --don't want to start no fights here !!

Felix J said...

Nope...'show up at' ain't proper. Which is why I said it.

I'm in agreement with Felix. I'm always amazed at where bad language usage shows up at. Especially in my own compositions.
