I AM ONE OF THE REALIST

So...one of our clients has that as her "text" signature. Every time she texts you get that message at the bottom in all caps.

I'm not sure if she meant "I am one of the realest" ...as in I'm one of the realest people you will meet like all the Lamebook posts or what.

Either way, it's gramatically incorrect and it's driving me crazy. Once, and I could have ignored it and moved on, but every single time. Please do not "yell" your incorrect senentces at me lady!

Re: I AM ONE OF THE REALIST

  • WTH?

    Maybe she means realist like I'm a realist (devotee of realism), but still that makes 0 sense.

    Yeah, that's what I'd think too if she wasn't super gangsta.

  • hmmm....she probably means "realists" as in plural for being one of the realistic people....still..odd.  or wait, is that even gramatically correct???   Hmm

    you mean like this?

    i kid! i think it's funny when i see stuff like that but i also know poor grammar doesn't = not smart. mistakes happen.

  • Proof that she probably is not "one of the realest" people you will know.

    And I agree MD, poor grammer doesn't = stupid (but really don't you spell check something you put at the end of every message?)

    realist is a word. as in, "i consider myself a realist."

  • Poor grammar does not = stupid for sure - I make mistakes on here all the time and don't bother to fix them. What was funny to me was that she actually took the time to think this out and make it her text signature. She felt strongly enough to send it to every person, every time a text went out.

    Maybe you have to meet her for this to be funny.

  • I think it's pretty annoying/obnoxious...especially since you know she doesn't actually mean a realist.

    oh okay, i am sure you are right. i just thought you sounded more irritated than amused. i get where you are coming from because i wrote and edited documents for years, but she probably has no notion that it doesn't make sense so she probably doesn't realize it needs to be fixed.

  • Speaking of signatures in texts...which sorry if I offend anyone but I think it's silly.  Why would you junk up someone's incoming text with that.

    My little brothers babies momma and now FI who's you know young and cute hah has something like this ~~**I love you!**~~ after every text.  At first I was like why is she telling me she loves me?  Then after the 3rd I was like ohhh but strange

    My understanding was she meant realest, not realist. I know it's a word :)

  • I think siggies in texts are really annoying too. Sorry if anyone here has one.
