Tony asked on twitter

Are you awake!

TonyI’m falling asleep here, it’s only after I’’m in bed that I’m wide awake!

“You’re” like an old lady. Just sayin’.

Me too, Rose….In fact, I often think I’m not sleepy, till I wake up in my chair…. mid-post, fingers on the keyboard… what would have been a scintillating jest now forgotten…..

Go to bed….lie awake till dawn.

Frumdebang and L …Sometimes I think we’re losing the distinction….sigh….

and that between “loose” and “lose”…and all the variants of “they’re, their, there” ….One day no one will remember how to use “lie” and “lay”…and I’ve already been criticised for using that outdated word, “whom”, and for saying “if I were …”.

Online forums reinforce bad grammar, and help ‘teach’ people that plurals have apostrophes and “huge” is spelled “hugh.”The fact that I even care makes me feel old…

“Your” cannot be a substitute for “you’re.” See, in that way there is no verb in YOUR sentence. Oh, never mind. This is a lost cause.

The second childhood…nap time.

@TonyIf I weren’t awake, I wouldn’t be able to point out that, in the 1st panel, it should read “you’re” rather than “your”.

I am awake now, Tony!

Sort of.

Maybe

Yore write… gramer iz rong

@Tony

Whenever a movie bores me, I just stop watching it. When I’m too tired to stay awake for an interesting movie, I go to bed and watch it later.

The movie was great. I fell asleep during one of the 8 minute commercial breaks.

That’s “you’re” ie “You are”. For gosh sakes!

Aye. Your collective brain was asleep as you wrote this, guys.

I’d rather not be awake at this moment but I have to go to work so awake I must be.

I don’t remember the last movie I fell asleep during, it happens more often than I care to admit. but I am not an “old lady” yet! :-)

PLEASE use correct grammar!!!

@Tony

Well, duh…

I can’t remember… I fell asleep!

I have it on DVD and I haven’t fallen asleep on it yet. A buddy of mine could never make it through Raiders Of the Lost Ark. Fell asleep every time. Not me, though Too much action.

It is ’you’re’, not ‘your’. Get with the correct grammar.

How does a professional who writes his own strip not know the difference between “your” and “you’re?” I haven’t made that mistake since second grade!
