The clique meme )

What's interesting is that all these people are neocolours related... but they make two separate cliques. If you'd all band together, we could RULE THE WORLD!!!! Mwa ha ha ha ha!!!!

This is all prompted by a few things I've seen in LJ lately, including this phrase: missing out capitals and using "..."s So, time for a review.

Ellipsis: A dot-dot-dot. There's only ever THREE dots in an ellipsis. Sometimes there appears to be four, but what you're really seeing is an ellipsis followed by a period marking the end of the sentence.
Ellipses: More than one ellipsis. I suspect this is a Greek word.

Umlaut: Two dots found over a vowel in certain languages (usually German) to indicate that the vowel is pronounced differently.
Diaresis: Among other things, two dots found over a vowel in certain circumstances to indicate that this vowel is a separate syllable from the one before it. English doesn't have umlauts.

Affect: The verb
Effect: The noun.

There may be more. Probably not, though.

Blatant propaganda against gay marriage

I'll look at the sample ad later (note these people are AGAINST those losers) and deconstruct it logically.

Because, of course, only homicidal freaks burn cloth. And I still do not believe that any Iraqi wants to kill me, Constance Evangeline Baker. If anybody has proof to the contrary, please, show it now.

Let's have a drinking game! *pours herself some water* I hate the smell of alcohol, makes me nauseous.

The basic premise is simple. Search for a random username. The easiest way to do this is to go up to the search button and just hit "search" without typing anything in.

One drink:
No entries/friends only
Lots of memes
Normal misspellings/some chtspk
Sentences that shouldn't end with question marks?
A lot of sentences like this!!!!
ALL CAPS/no caps
Bad customization (clashing colors, font impossible to read)

Two drinks:
Heavy chtspk/l337
Quizzes with bad HTML
No punctuation
TyPiNg LiK dIs
Really bad customization (fadeouts, moving backgrounds)
Russian

If you actually find somebody worth friending, post the results here. You get bonus points if you find somebody you know, or if you share an uncommon interest/friend, or if you recognize one of their icons. These are all good things, and very rare, so they don't get drunk to.
