It's been almost a year since my last post: what's strange is that it feels like a couple of weeks ago. Time is creeping up on me. I also just realized I had been writing a quick little blog out of frustration and never posted it--somewhat of a rant, but I amused myself a year later so I'm gonna go ahead and post it.
"A for EFFORT"
This little phrase is problematic for me. Who spells "effort" with an A?
If anyone has every actually tried to perform this grammatical impossibility, I'm pretty sure it was someone from my generation. And let's be honest, it's mostly because our parents, teachers, and even Michael Jackson has told us it's okay---
You can do whatever you want to do, be whatever you wanna be. Go ahead, spell effort with an A; you make the rules that you live by. Let's just forget that social status, connections, and myriad other reasons actually influence the life that we "make" for ourselves.
News flash: you can't do whatever you want. You've been lied to. The end.
