Ramblings of a Crowe

Check this bitch out...

There are a lot of idiots in the world, many of them use the internet. Usually I just take this as a fact of life and move on, but every now and then, one pops up that really grabs my attention:

lol, you drive a bus for a living... your parents must be so proud.

Taken from here.

What a bitch. And a dumb one at that. Mocking someone because they're a bus driver making 11 bucks an hour? You know what, people like this need to be drowned and tazered all at the same time.

All those jobs people make fun of, like the bus driver, the garbage man, the guy who mows lawns, the people who clean sewers and septic tanks, or whatever--they're fucking gold. I shudder to think what this country would be like without people to do these jobs.

I don't want to drive my trash to the dump once or twice a week. Maybe this moron has time to do that, but a lot of us don't and even more won't. Shit, some of us can't even make it to the dumpster outside and back. I'd like to see her pump her septic tank when it over flows. And obviously she doesn't realize how bad traffic would be (especially in large cities) if it weren't for these lowly bus drivers driving car-less people around town.

LOgIc Doze NUt CoMPuTe...*BOOM*

But I guess you can't expect much of a person who goes to an English speaking forum and posts in Japanese (while being a white girl from Jersey). Not only that, but it's bad Japanese, though she rubs her "fluency" in the face of all the forum members there after they start telling her to use English.

I hate people like her. It's one thing to be bad at a language that's not yours, most people cut you slack, but it's another to be a complete pompous bimbo and not know what the hell you're talking about while claiming you're fluent at it. Nine years my ass.

How is this fluent?

きゃあぁぁぁ！新らしiPod Nano『白い』の名前：ラビート（RABBEAT）:p
でも背中がSUN　MICROSYSTEMのローゴ.

She's trying to say: Sqeeeeaaal! My new iPod Nano's (white) name is Rabbit/Rabbeat(?). But on the back is the Sun Microsystem logo.

新らし<---someone tell me how this happens. Please. I've been staring at it for awhile now and I can't figure how the hell she managed to do this. "Ata" doesn't even prompt the kanji 新 in IME. In fact, IME gives you the friggen word! You CAN'T misspell this.

(for those who don't understand, IME is what processes roman letters into Japanese kana. From there, it will give you a list of kanji for the kana combinations and you can choose which one you're looking for. Atarashii becomes あたらしい becomes 新しい.)

Not only that, but she uses senaka 背中 for the word, 'back'. However, this only refers to the backs of people or animals, not inanimate objects. The word she needed was uragawa 裏側. And ローゴ for logo should be ロゴ. I'm not sure why she uses demo でも either, though I guess it works.

Then there is the matter of her horrible grammer. Japanese grammar isn't hard.

It should look something like this (I'm omitting the fangirl squealing because it's annoying as hell):

新しいiPod Nanoの名前はラビートだ。しかし、iPodの裏側にはSun Microsystemsのロゴがある。

Now I'm NOT fluent. I make a hell of a lot of mistakes. Stupid ones. New language is hard, but I have no pity for jackasses like her. She's so vain that she argues with someone who is obviously fluent--and loses badly. However, she still persists in justifying herself. The exchange between them brings whole new meaning to "Bitch got owned".

In the end we learn that she used to study Japanese. Sort of like how she doesn't like anime and manga, but has them listed as favorites in her journal, I suppose. Eventually she slinks off to her own journal where she tries to be witty, but any lack of coherent sentences make it impossible to read.

And she claims to be a member of MENSA...and if that's true, when did they drop the bar so low? You don't get much stupider than this broad.
