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 :)

I remember this saying and it was not to long ago ,, well maybe 50 years ago ,,, I find that young people these days tend to think they thought everything up ,, and words to had a total different meaning back in the day ,,, goes the same with movies and music ,,, I just shake my head and tell them to look it up ,,, I do not think the younger generation is going to last very long as they let to much of the small stuff bother them ,, mind I used to be like that to but learned to think before the mouth goes off ,, I live a lot better now ,,, Take care ,,,
