If there's one thing I can't wait for ...

[apocalypsos]

... it's when my shift swings back around to the point where I can watch Thursday night TV live, which will be in three weeks.

*pokes at torrents to make them go faster*

And I've been poking around everybody's SPN reactions so now I'm really excited to see the episode and it'll just have to wait until after I wake up. But I already have a pet peeve, and it is this -- yes, "alright" is not grammatically correct and I would be one of the first people bitching if my parents hadn't raised me right on copious amounts of classic rock, including the Who and their song "The Kids Are Alright," which the episode is named after.

And it might be right to correct it to "The Kids Are All Right," but then again doing so might lead to Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey coming over your house and justifiably beating the crap out of you.

Bugs me, too. Although I've been corrected and learned that "alright" is in fact accepted as correct usage these days. What is the world COMING TO? It looks so WRONG to me. ::sporks eyes::

Either you'll choke on a microphone or get beaten to death with a guitar!

Maybe we'd find out what was mightier, the red pen of spelling mistakes or the sword.

THANK YOU! I meant to bring that up in my review...then got sidetracked by Jared's face. Um, again.

Bwaha!

Wait, there was a song?

This is what cultural deprivation gets you.

Yeah, a song, and it was the title of a documentary about the Who.

Oh, I'm not even debating that "alright" isn't correct, although God knows most of us use words that aren't grammatically correct just to be silly in our LJ posts.

But ... but ... it's a SONG TITLE. It's a WHO SONG TITLE. Misspelling it is blasphemy.

Oopsie.

I'm extremely unknowledgeable about these things. It's what I get for having parents who told me all rock was Satanic.
