Currently listening to: Country Grammar – Nelly

Play by my rules, boo, and you gon’ stay high
May I answer your Third Question like A.I
Say hi to my players left in the slamma
From St. Louis to Memphis, from Texas back up to Indiana
Chi-Town, K.C., Motown to Alabama
L.A., New York Yankee sluggers to Hotlanta
Louisiana, gettin paid off this country grammar
Smokin’ – in Savannah, blow thirty mil’ like I’m Hammer

What’s one writing rule that you completely ignore?

Korean is my first language, English is my second language, and Spanish is my third language.

I’m also fluent in Spanglish, Engrish, gen z, millennial, North-Central American English/Upper Midwestern dialect and the Texan twang/drawl. When I was in Boston, I annoyed the SHIT out of people when I returned to Minnesota with that Eastern New England English.

People in California love to point out my Minnesotan accent. Ya shore, you betcha!

I still don’t know what Gambit (Channing Tatum) was saying in Deadpool & Wolverine half the time till I turned on the subtitles.

Anyway, I digress.

I am quite possibly an English teacher/professor’s + Beau Mec’s worst nightmare. If my English educators could see me now.

I learn the rules so I can break them. Teehee.

I was worse though… like WhN I TyPeD LyK DiS.

Hmm things that I currently do?

  • not typing the first letter of the title in caps. It’s the aesthetics for me.
  • incorrectly using ellipsis …
  • hella typos or missing words but I honestly think I’m too tired to reread what I originally wrote and will catch it the next day after it’s published
  • starting sentences with “and,” but,” or “so”
  • fragmented sentences
  • overuse of the — em dash

I’m sure there are more, feel free to comment about them. LOL!

    linguistic badass imo I feel like its important to relate to the people where we live and speaking like them builds a rapport so I see that skill as a win. when it comes to writing though I usually am strict with myself. When it comes to others I observe the way they write and it tells me a lot about them. I can tell where they are from by the phrases they use, I can guess how old they might be by their references, I can gauge the amount of effort they put into their work by their consistency and writing style. I try not to gauge intelligence because street smarts and book smarts vary and is not always obvious in writing but if their thoughts are coherent then I know they don’t lie and are able to express themselves efficiently despite grammatical errors. Cool stuff rojer!

    One of your branding I saw is lowercase letter in the first sentence. 🤭 that’s Rojie’s style. I’ve seen some many commas before the next sentence.

    I just like that. Identification. I don’t know what’s mine coz I just comment normally.

    I am from Canada, but my accent is a weird fusion of Eastern Canada (that is I think what most ppl think is the Canadian accent – a bit of Newfoundland English – which btw is unintelligible at best most times lmaoooo – don’t believe? https://www.tiktok.com/@kopke613/video/7667972560629271815?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc and btw.. Gambit’s accent is French… or German, but I think French!) and Southern drawl… some ppl actually think I’m from Georgia!! XDXDXD Bees loved my southern drawl. XD I just say y’all naturally. I think it’s actually hilarious… and then, I have a rogue British accent some ppl say I have. ^^

    I suppose that I can see where they are coming from except the southern bit, bc while my dad’s side is from America… his family is all NYC and NJ based. 😮

    I want to learn Korean. I have an overwhelming passion for all things Korean… this I have no idea why either. 😮 I have a friend that I say 안녕하세요 to but that’s all. 😀 Her name is Sun-Joo. 🙂 She is very sweet natured. :3

    I am stealing the habit of lower caps (like e.e. cummings?) from you, bc I think that is too cute!!

    💜💜💜💜
