What part of deoxyribonucleic acid do you not understand?
Dungeons nucleic Dragons
This new craze they call “rock nucleic roll” is driving the country’s youth wild!
Oh, yeah, that’s fair.
The elven part
What if I told you there’s another kind of DNA for which that statement is actually true?
This post permanently lowered my IQ
God safe us indeed
It begins…
“God safe us” - irony right there especially when critical of someone else’s use of an acronym perhaps one’s own grasp of the English language should be a little better!!!
God save us ….
May god shave us all.
Up yours Trebek!
Shave my wife, I’m goin’ down for the last time!
The amount of grammatical mistakes in your own comment is pretty ironic as well.
Muphry’s Law strikes again.
Excuse me, it’s Muphry’s Theory. It hasn’t been proven enough to be a scientific law.
I dont believe in Muphies Theory cause uts just a theory. I’ve done my own research and u ahoukd to.
Hehe I remember Muphies. That Kermit always got up to shenanigans!
Menzies’es Pretty Solid Hunch
😆👌 fair enough
I’m sure this comment can’t go wromg.

Care to elaborate? I may have missed a comma here or there, but what else was wrong?
I mean your own spelling is rather atrocious - especially when devices tend to have a spell check; “Muphry”? Is he a distant cousin of Murphy perchance?
Oh and I use the Kings English here in my country, not “US English” ……
Oh my word, this was embarrassing for you. 😂 My spelling was absolutely perfect, you shmuck. No wonder you deleted it before I even saw the reply in my inbox.
Hardly embarrassing - you don’t seem to understand light hearted banter clearly….yes I was playing on Murphy/Muphry.
Geez straight to name calling though - classy 🙄
Have a nice life.
You’re right. The schmuck name calling was perhaps a bit harsh on you.
You were “playing” on Murphy/Muphry? What does that mean? It seems like you just didn’t know Muphry’s Law was a thing, and you tried to hang me for “misspelling” it, then you realized what it is and deleted the comment. But maybe I’m just assuming. 🤷♂️
I don’t know if you’re bantering, perhaps you are. I just have a hobby of shitting on people’s grammar that complain about other people’s grammar. It’s this Robin Hood type of feeling I get. I’m probably sick or something.
Take care!
Well then use this as a teaching moment and elaborate then?
I live in a country that uses the King’s English, not the American version so please enlighten me - I do enjoy learning.
But don’t say there are an amount of errors without even trying to quantify them….given the burden of proof rests with you.
Fair enough, let’s have at it, Mr. “King’s English”. (God, do you even hear how insufferably pretentious that sounds?)
Let’s start with the original comment. My edits in [brackets].
“God safe us” - [the] irony right there[… something? “is funny”? What about the irony? You have to finish the thought.][missing comma] especially when critical of someone else’s use of an acronym[comma] perhaps one’s own grasp of the English language should be a little better!!! [Overuse of exclamation points, although one could argue the level of severity in the contents of your message…]
God save us …. [space between “us” and the ellipsis"; and an extra period after the ellipsis]
Next comment!
Well then[missing comma] use this as a teaching moment and elaborate[missing comma; also another “then”? Then then then then.] then?
I live in a country that uses the King’s English[pretentious af but nothing wrong here], not the American version[missing comma] so please enlighten me - [hyphen instead of en dash] I do enjoy learning. [Good, you’re learning right now.]
But don’t say there are [“is an amount”, probably? I don’t know what the King says, but that’s what I would say] an amount of errors without even trying to quantify them….given [again, ellipsis with an extra period; also the weird use of an ellipsis here – it should be a comma] the burden of proof rests with you.
Did you learn something?
“God safe us” - [the] irony right there[… something? “is funny”? What about the irony? You have to finish the thought.]
That clause was fine up to the missing commas. He’s pointing at the phrase and saying that’s irony right there. Perhaps you’re unfamiliar with that structure. I don’t think it’s common in all Englishes
[hyphen instead of en dash]
That’s pedantic. Nearly no one uses en and em dashes; if they’re typing on a physical keyboard those dashes are hard to type
Perhaps you’re unfamiliar with that structure. I don’t think it’s common in all Englishes
I am, but it’s grammatically insufficient. Idiomatically/colloquially/slang wise, it’s fine. I understood enough to know what they mean, obviously.
That’s pedantic. Nearly no one uses en and em dashes;
Of course it’s pedantic. I’m going out of my way to be pedantic to show this grammar snob what it feels like to throw the first stone.
if they’re typing on a physical keyboard those dashes are hard to type
Skill issue. If they care enough, it’s easy to find out how. 🤷♂️ I use them all the time.
Thanks for joining the fun!
Isn’t the first mistake simply him using the sentence to declare there is irony? How is that an incomplete sentence?
Could you clarify? Do you mean to say it’s incomplete or actually complete?
I meant to say that part is already a complete sentence.
Now, I’m not as much of a grammar nerd as I’d like to be, but from what I understand, “irony right there” isn’t a complete sentence, or barely even a complete clause. It’s just a few words that should be part of a clause.
Maybe someone could fill in the grammatical details here, or prove me wrong.
Whoooosh
There’s no formal rule, but adjectives can function as verbs in day to day English. <Subject> <adjective> <object> can mean the same thing as <subject> make <object> <adjective>.
However, we all know she made a typo while criticising someone else’s understanding of words
Aka chrolling for clickbate.
That’s South Africa, you can’t expect that much from a 30% pass mark.
South Africa is a region composed of several countries and eleven non-english languages. You’re going to judge them based on a word Americans misspell??
South Africa is a country, or did you mean counties? They’re called provinces there. Despite the 11 official languages, the primary language is English, it’s considered an English speaking country.
Desoxyribose & Acid
Name a more iconic duo, I’m waiting
deoxyribose & acid
In German it’s “Desoxyribonukleinsäure”. I never realized English doesn’t have the “s”
It gets worse. Desoxyephedrine and deoxyephedrine are two completely different substances. Ones methamphetamine and the other is natural and as drugs they act very differently.
Which one
The first one. I knew Säure is acid
Does sound like some kind of duo.
Comedy duo maybe?
Psych Hop, aka Psychedelic Hip Hop… is that even a thing?
DNA is AND when you reverse it.
And?
Yes.
Wait, I think we’re improvising wrong.
This makes way more sense than RNA
Douglas Adams’ middle name was “Noel”, not “and”.
Nucleic isn’t a thing huh ? Can we send these people to a Gulag
Call the Marxists
(But it’d be bad satire to repeat the joke)
The depth to which he has gone to illustrate what a simple /whoosh would a done is part of the sad tire no?
Pretty sure it’s Dinosaurs, Nucleaics & Acid.
I thought it was the three branches of science? Dinosaurs, Nukes and Aerodynamics?
Jeebus that boy ain’t right
I’m impressed by how much Cunningham’s Law is in the comments. I can’t tell if they don’t get the joke, or if the joke is too deep and I’m the one missing it.
Today I learned :
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Cunningham#Cunningham’s_Law
Cunningham is credited with the idea: “The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question; it’s to post the wrong answer.”
I don’t know what y’all are talking about. Personally, I enjoy Tits Nucleic Ass.
