English majors and other smart people

[Turin39789]

I am pretty sure anyone majoring in english isn't very smart.

Capital E there bud, and I consider an insult from Patranus to be a compliment any day of the week.

Thought you learned this stuff in high school or sooner.

And yes, majoring in your native language doesn't indicate smartness.

What's even more amusing is when people go to college to major in a foreign language. Sure, it's a great minor, but...
Hurray! You're now bilingual like the majority of Europeans - and it took a college degree to do so. Now, you're qualified to answer the phones: "press 1 for English. Para Espanol, dos."

You don't know? Every single English major waits tables. Once they graduate a small number of elites are able to bartend.

This is true perhaps, but I see too many people who are otherwise "smart," who appear stupid because they apparently can't use their native language correctly.

English is a difficult language. It has components of many different languages all mixed in, with many strange rules and exceptions.

I believe the key to this is in the words, "when referring to a photo".

You refer to something by directing attention to it as in "This or That"

This is a photo of my fiancée and me.

So the correct answer is "me".

Unless you're jar jar binks, then you use me all the time.

You and I are neffing on atot.
You are neffing on atot.
I am neffing on atot.

You and me are neffing on atot.
You are neffing on atot.
Me am neffing on atot.

Great quote for a sig. :thumbsup: 😛

My dad worked at FMC writing manuals, and made the present day equivalent of 120,000 a year.

ATOT never lets you down. Intelligence is solely defined by the size of your paycheck. Everyone knows this.

Of course, this being ATOT, the correct phrase would be:

"I," because most of the geeks here are too afraid of teh wimmenz to ever have a fiancee. (except in their wild imaginations)

 

[zCypher]

What sounds good to me:

- Me and my fiancee.
- My fiancee and I.

You really had to ask this question, OP?

Seriously?

it's based on a debate on another message board. A poster posted a photo and simply said "My fiancee and me".

In this case, that would appear to be the correct usage, although not everyone agrees.
