Are you Metrosexual?
I am not metrosexual! I am straight! I'm all about football, sexy girls, and pants!
What is a metrosexual? Metrosexuals basically do anything that a gay guy does, but they are not necessarily gay.
Maybe you should take a quiz to figure out if you are metrosexual, gay or straight:
Here's some articles about "coming out" as a metrosexual.

FOBBY GRAMMAR!!! PLEEEEEEEEAZE!!!!!
It really grates my ears whenever I hear an Asian American, who has grown up in the US, frequently use bad grammar. They sound really fobby even though they were educated in the US K-12 and even college! There's no excuse to sound fobby if you ARE NOT a FOB!!!
Even worse, it's more common in San Francisco than in LA.
Here's a few examples:
"I has to go baffroom" should be "I have to use the bathroom"
"She and I has the same shoes" should be "She and I have the same shoes"

I can not stand bad grammar!
Lately I've had to tolerate listening to people who use the words "minus" and "plus" as verbs!
Here's a prime example of bad grammar:
"Jack minused the numbers"
The word "minus" is not a verb. It can be used as a preposition or an adjective. What does that mean to those who are grammatically handicapped??
"Minus" means "without". Here's an example of bad grammar using the word "without" instead of "minus"
"Jack withouted the numbers"
Can anyone "without" numbers? NO NO NO!!!!! WITHOUT is not an action! WITHOUT is not a verb!
A correct use of the word "minus" would be the following:
"Five minus two is equal to Five without Two"
This problem recurs when some idiots use the word "plus" as a verb. For example:
Jack "plussed" the numbers
NO, NO, NO! Jack "added" the numbers! A synonym to "plus" is "with". For example:
"Five plus two is equal to Five with two"
So, from now on, DO NOT use "minus" or "plus" as verbs unless you are just plain stupid!
******
"So Much...."
"So Much" is "SO" frequently used incorrectly "That" it needs to be corrected!
If you ever hear someone use the phrase "so much" make sure they use it correctly!
WRONG: I think their grammar is crappy "so much so that" it smells bad
RIGHT: I think their grammar is "so crappy that" it smells bad.
CAN'T YOU SEE the REPETITIVENESS of using the phrase "SO MUCH SO THAT"????
If not, I think you should go back to grade school!!!

Do you ever watch TV News?
TV News anchors, reporters, and producers are constantly using fragments in their copy. If you ever watch the news, you'll hear the anchor or reporter read a script that says something grammatically incorrect, like this:
"A blazing fire in the East Bay. That tops our news"
or
"Children in a runaway school bus! That and more at 11"
or
"Computers turning into dating machines."
Do you ever notice that they are not using verbs? Hmmm, that makes these statements just fragments!
And the worst part of it all is that news people pride themselves on writing scripts that are supposedly colloquial. That means that their writing is supposed to sound similar to the way we talk in everyday life.
I don't speak in fragments!!!!!!
Do you want me to write in fragments from now on? Here's what it would sound like:
Me: What up?
You: Work hard at office
Me: What work?
You: Office work for business.
Me: Business days stretching schedules
Does it sound CAVEMAN or GHETTO?
UGHHHHHH BAD GRAMMAR!
