Today Is Your Last Day, At Least Until Tomorrow

The cliche 'live every day as if it was your last' is not only pop-motivational garbage, but it's very confusing. Exactly what is the context of your last day, in this scenario? If it's my last day because I'm going to die in a car wreck, guess what, I'm just not going to get in a car. If it's my last day because I'll be poisoned by something I ate, I'm drinking my meals every day, from now on. If it's my last day on my death bed, you know what? I'll go ahead and stay in bed. I've noticed a bulk of the people who say or share the saying often use it as an excuse to do things that are dangerous, anyway, which makes me question their motives for saying it. Are they saying, "Try to die every day by doing deadly things. It's not suicide if you're enjoying it." Because, the command is to live every day. Not tomorrow, not some days, not in a month or two, but EVERY day. So, according to the command, you have to choose someth...

Is 'did you' really 'didge'oo'? Is 'could you' really 'couldge'oo'? Is 'would you' really 'wouldge'oo'? Sentence examples: "Did you convulse on your feet in the park, today?" or "Didge'oo Prancercize®, today?" "Could you lower your voice?" or "Couldge'oo stop stabbing my eardrums with your mouth?" "Would you please do that thing you were offering to do?" or "Wouldge'oo?" It's not our fault, everyone. It's English's fault. And, it's the fault of all those who stand up for English who, ironically, are the worst at using it. You know, the people who complain about all of the languages that are coming in to the U.S., as well as the overabundance of so-called 'political correctness', yet hate it when you correct their misuse of English without being nice about it. The truth is, English has pit us against each other and the world f...

It seems like no one should say anything, anymore. I'm not talking about political correctness or the opposite, I'm talking about the actual spoken language we all use that we shouldn't. For instance, we don't 'get' things, or 'put' things. You might think we do, but we don't. Do you know what we do? We 'getch' things and 'putch' things. You think you say, "Get your coat," or "Put your coat on," but if you listen to yourself, and are truly honest with yourself, you'll notice you actually say, "Getch yer coa'," or "Putcher co' don." You don't actually say anything the way you're supposed to whenever you use your mouth to communicate. Even in your head, as you're reading this, you're saying nearly EVERYTHING wrong. If you don't believe me, use the following sentences (courtesy of my wife)--read the first one in your head, then read the second one aloud: ...
