A lot of people get bent out of shape by grammatical errors like that. And publishing housed have gotten really bad about proofreading because they think “with spell-check who needs a proofreader.”
And Luann waiting in the background? I see the rise of the Green-Eyed Monster
PS – I’m a terrible proofreader because I know what I wrote and never see what I typed.
So, Beatrice, you do have this niggling fear of a potential love triangle which your dream seems to reveal. Rest assured – she is not interested in Jack BUT she might pull a Tiffany, though.
Like I said yesterday, Luann “Wins” the guy. Even in Bernice’s dreams, Luann “WINS” the guy. Luann ALWAYS Wins when comes to a guy. Deal with that Harsh Reality Bernice.
Now if this arc continues Monday, would it be too much to ask that when Bernice wakes up, she comes to her senses, forgets about Jack (who in truth, has been little more than an unneeded distraction for last couple months) and makes up her mind to FINALLY, deal with the “Ben problem” once and for all?
Or will Bernice decide to “dumb-down” in order to “fit-in” with the masses?
And will the scalpers hoard the new PS5’s and try to sell them on eBay for 4 times their value the same way they did the Nvidia RTX 3070, 3080, 3090 graphics cards, the No-Good, Money Grubbing, Greedy, So and So’s? ;)
On a subconscious, as much as Bernice is physically attracted to Jack. She wants intellect and she thinks he’s all brawn and not much intellect. Even if her dreams she’s stressed out. She won’t let herself relax.
Bernice is actually lucky she dodged Mer-Jack now because of grammar. It would’ve been really awkward later when his spelling deficiency caused him to declare that “I’m so glad I got to meat you!”
Oh, wait. This is Saturday. The end of the week and clearly the end of the arc. There will be no more of Beatrice and Jacques. Monday will be a pivot to either Gunther (haven’t seen him in a while, Tiffany or Shannon if only because the writer has no idea what to do with either Gunther or Tiffany. A flashback to TJ cooking in the Ferrel household kitchen would be nice, give us closure on that story. Of course it would be nice if Luann had an arc. I know: Fay and her classmates want to put on a play but there school no longer has a theater instructor so she asked if Luann could direct the play. That would be a nice week of clashing egos, drama queens and rowdy boys dragooned into being in the play.
There was a gag on the show “Friends” where one of the guys wonders if he ever turned away a woman who was his perfect match because she pronounces it “supposably.”
So back on Nov. 2nd, Jack asked Bernice “YOU WALK ALOT?” Some pointed out the grammatical slip, bit not Bernice. Now. all of a sudden she goes all Grammar Nazi on herself!?!? What is greg playing at here?
If Bernice were a real character, her preconscious mind is intruding into her dream/fantasy world. Once again demonstrating that Bernice needs some Mrs. Phelps time! (Hey! It worked for Tiffany!)
The most common misconception among aspiring writers is “Oh, the publishers won’t care whether your spelling and punctuation is flawless as long as you make sure the actual plot is good enough to sell.” What the publishers will actually think is that you don’t care enough about your book to fix the errors.(The same rule/advice applies to writers saying that “Chapter 1 isn’t great, but do read on, because it gets really good at chapter 5…”)
Bernice has met her enemy, and is herself…. Her obsessive thinking and rethinking about everything and her mania for perfection haunt her even in her most romantic dreams. Poor thing. Let’s hope she will be able to do a psychologically correct interpretation of this dream. But HOORAY!!! MERMAID LUANN IS BEAUTIFUL ♡♡♡!!! And MerPuddles is so cute.
I am worried about people who use the expression “grammar nazi”. If you see it from the nazi angle a grammar nazi should be invading, conquering, enslaving and destroying based on fake premises of being superior. But when correcting a grammar mistake, one isn’t acting on a fake pretense since the mistake is real. And if you see it from the grammar angle, then it means the nazis were people who liked to make wrong things right. It’s very uncomfortable. Either it’s a disguised praise for nazis, a display of ignorance about nazis or saying that anyone who points out a mistake is evil.
Of course if the person pointing out the mistake demands for the one who made said mistake to be executed then the expression might be somewhat valid. But it seems to me it’s used most of of the time toward anyone who corrects a mistake. Some might say that it’s not the right time to correct the mistake because we should focus on the message being delivered. But hey, the right time to correct the mistake is when it happens.
Though I’d like to see another version, the “grammar kgb”. They don’t say anything at the moment but one day your hear a knock at your door at 5 am and when you open you see two guys in trench-coat telling you "remember on october 14 2018, on the Luann discussion thread when you wrote “your” instead of “you’re”? Follow us to the reeducation camp"
Luann isn’t a ‘spoiler’ in this instance. This is Bernice’s DREAM. It suggests that Bernice does, in fact, see Luann as a threat vis a vis her feelings for Jack, though…
Bern’s two sides battling each other—is this a dream that will make her change her ways?is it a learning lesson that will enable her to prevent future gaffes? or is it a preview of what is to come, a statement about how Bern’s critical nature will never change?
My English Major roommate in college got a mash note (look it up children) from a gal he didn’t like all that much, corrected it for grammar and spelling and returned it. I’m pretty sure that ended that relationship.
Lol! That’s great! Even her fantasy self is criticizing her subconscious!Reading books and papers with grammatical errors annoys me, too, but in a dream sequence? Nope. So now what will she do, swim after him? Or will someone knock on her door and wake her?
Confession: I underline mistakes in the books I read. It’s just for my benefit; it doesn’t matter if anyone else ever sees it. I feel like if you have something you want to share with others, you should try your best to make it right if they’re going to take the time to read it. (Especially if they PAY for your words!)
Waitaminnit. Don’t your and you’re sound exactly alike when spoken? Wasn’t Jaques the merman speaking? That being true, isn’t it a matter of spelling and not grammar? G&K could have shoehorned in a more accurate grammar joke.
Now I’m wondering about the NAMES of the characters in the mermaid fantasy book. Are they REALLY “Beatrice” and “Jacques” as printed on the pages? So Bernice can easily re-imagine herself and Jack in those roles? If so, WHAT AN AMAZING COINCIDENCE!
Just think… if the characters were named “Constance” and “Francois”, then she wouldn’t be having this dream at all?
Just for the helluvit I looked this up:The first vertebrates moved by flexing their spines side to side. This is the mode of locomotion retained by fish and sharks, as well as reptiles and amphibians.
But mammals in their evolution changed to moving by flexing their spines up and down. This enabled them to gallop on all fours with their legs projecting directly under their bodies.
When ancestral whales returned to the water, they inherited and kept this fundamental mammal way of moving. As a result their swimming stroke is an up and down beat with their tail, which is enhanced by horizontal tail flukes.
Bernice’s anxiety has wandered into “look into getting some help with this” territory. Next she’ll be compulsively checking things and handwashing excessively, even for a pandemic.
Bern is so uptight she sabotages her own dreams. Jack has shown no interest in Bern beyond Monstro and casual conversation. It’s not even mixed signals. Swim along, nothing to see here.
How sad. You know you’re uptight when you can’t even have a successful romance in your dreams. But I understand. I was communicating with someone via an online dating service once and lost interest because of bad grammar and misspelling of words.
Perhaps I’m reading too much into it, but it seems to me this is what happened in this comic. Bernice is asleep, but she pops awake just long enough to read the incorrect word in the book. (No “Z” shows her to be asleep in the first panel). She then falls back asleep (with a “Z” to indicate that) and has the correction in her mind, messing up the whole dream situation.
In high school we had a show and one of the songs was “100 Ways To Lose A Man” One way was when the guy says “You’re the one to who I give my heart.” and she corrects him about how he should have said “whom” instead of “who”.
Typos like that have been popping up in a number of books that I’ve read recently, both fiction and non-fiction. Apparently editing is becoming a lost art.
