I Am Aware That Some People Like Me And Some People Hate Me
There's an old saying that's really not used much nowadays, "there's nowt queerer than folk" - it dates before the time when it wasn't politically incorrect and has nothing derogatory about gay people..
The pure meaning of the phrase stuck me today.. when I came home to find a rant from a young *lady* completely missing the whole premise of what I'd said and telling me how uneducated I am! She also told me I am very old :P
And then, having clearly taken the trouble to PM me - she blocked me..
What made the rant so interesting though was... that her post telling me how uneducated I am, and how SHE was educating me... was riddled with grammatical mistakes and whining that illiterate isn't a proper word!
It kinda made me smile as I sat and pondered the irony of the very poor grasp she had on grammar.. And I shook my head and thought.. there really is nowt queerer than folk... What I like about people is their sheer unpredictability, their randomness, their weirdness even.. and sure as heck she was weird :)
