wow that explains a lot! you have 11 facebook accounts and your IQ dropped by 50 each time … explains why you’re such a morron … maybe it would help you to have a social life in the REAL world
No, you’re thinking of when you have a screen name such as “Jibble”.
Facebook is a medium people use to network and socialize, and nothihng more and nothing less. There are stupid people like you in every social networking site; that doesn’t mean that everyone on a social networking site is stupid.
Oh my god I can’t believe I share oxygen with someone who gets upset at people who post first and feels the need to reply. OH NO I AM GUILTY OF MY OWN PEEVE BY COMMENTING ON THE POST SOMEONE WHO DESERVES NOT TO BREATH!!!
I think he suffocated in his own fervor before he could finish.
By the way, if it was sarcasm in response to the failbooking, good for you, but an ‘E’ really is a vowel. Hard to believe for some people apparently, but yeah.
Technically they’re both wrong. The rule isn’t that an precedes vowels. The rule is that an precedes words with a vowel sound. For instance, honorable starts with a consonant but would take an, because ho makes a vowel sound. Similarly, various constructions of words starting with U or O take a rather than an: examples, a unicorn, a one-sided game.
English sucks at spelling. Slavonic languages may be weird, with all those grammatical cases and stuff, but at least we know the exact spelling of a word just from its sound and vice versa.
Technically ‘the English language’ doesn’t just consist of ‘English’ words. You’d find that there are quite a few words based from other languages as well.
I take offense at that, I’m American and fairly slim, but I’m not stupid. Sure, we’ve got some pretty dumb people in our country, it’s just really annoying when people jump on the “all Americans are idiots” bandwagon. Also, it’s not exactly the mark of a well educated individual to use the word “retarded.”
Oh noes, I offended someone over the Interwebz.
I don’t think I even claimed that “ALL” Americans were equally stupid, and it wasn’t my intent to make a valid point which would be agreed upon by anyone. But, honestly, look at your culture as a whole, most of your celebrities are either anorexic bimbos or criminals or junkies, when it’s not a combination of all those. Yet, you guys give them the millions they make each year and then wonder why people think you guys are all stupid? You guys like to make fun of other countries and pretend you’re the greatest nation in the world, but if someone dares to make fun of you, then you get offended, you know what? See if I care. I don’t even take myself or anything I write seriously, and neither should you. Welcome to the Interwebz, Greg.
You forgot the fact that they elected as president the 21st century’s Hitler. Twice.
Because 3000 Americans killed by a dozen idiots is a perfectly good reason to start two wars that you could predict would kill 100’000-200’000 civilians. Makes perfect sense.
Oh and education has been proven to be much more effective at fighting extremism and fanaticism than any hi-tech missile you could ever build. Opening schools is also cheaper. Just saying.
Yea sure, American celebs may be that way, but you CONVENIENTLY forget that British Celebs are like that too. And its not just the Americans that pay the Actors, the whole world does……When they go to the movies, buy the DVD/Blue-ray, buy the soundtrack. How do you think the directors and that make the money in the first place. Your so ignorant that your WHOLE argument points are a FAIL!!
Actually, that “rule” does not take effect because of an actual vowel. If a word begins with a vowel (unrestricted air flow) sound, use the article “an,” and if it begins with a consonant (restricted air flow) sound, use the article “a.” The graphic representation of vowel bears no importance in the article rule.
union in the example above kind of starts with a consonant sound. Wierd that how it a union but an onion. Almost same word but man does trying to say a onion sound wrong lol.
just look 2 comments up and you will see a word that begins with a vowel (u) and has a consonant sound: union. therefore, your post is rendered dumb and useless.
My apologies, but I just have to take this time to tell that this guy is such “a fucking idiot”, not “an fucking idiot.” With that said, yes, this guys is a fucking idiot.
The people who write first are looking for a response. They know what’s coming. If no one gets annoyed with the first things, people will stop doing them. Kinda simple. Just get a longer temper.
I’m not even sure if this is funny. The fact that someone who doesn’t know that “e” is a vowel is a) allowed to live and b) able to work facebook kinda confuses me.
lolinhower…you mentioned having 11 facebook accounts earlier in the thread and someone bashed you for being a “morron” and suggested that you might have a better social life in the real world. I was wondering…did you set up those 11 facebook accounts so you could send yourself gifts in games?
(see? your reference to an earlier failbook post didn’t escape me…)
Actually, what he said was somewhat true, but it also isn’t. However the fail is still there. But you actually use “an” instead of “a” when the next word ‘Sounds’ like a vowel. It doesn’t necessarily have to begin with one. Like using an acronym “an FSD”; You say an because FSD sounds out “ef” for the beginning letter. Not that the guy can see this but I feel all correcty(Not a word I know) today.
and the fact that they capitalize every word didn’t bother them?? haha. and maybe they were referring to e being a drug. this way, would it really be a vowel? or a noun?
Actually, they’re both wrong. Just because a word starts with a vowel doesn’t mean it gets ‘an’. For example, ‘a university’. And some words starting with consonants get ‘an’, such as ‘an herb’ or ‘an hour’. It all depends on the first sound, not the first letter. I can’t even explain the ‘E isn’t a vowel’ thing though. Pure stupidity?
OMG I can’t believe I share oxygen with such a moron -________-
great comment! xD you just made my day =D
Look how I fit into it!
My thoughts exactly. You are awesome.
Likes this.
placing just a comment, so someone doesnt say “first”
When has not being first stopped anyone saying first anyway?
Look who’s talking.
YOU GO GIRL!
FIRST
Now, who’s the troll?
z
Why??????????
Wow… Biggest fail of the month…
I think your IQ is automatically decremented by 50 points when you join Facebook.
no you fail…
You certainly win at failing.
If your IQ gets a buffer underflow you might be a winner. Yet more likely is you’re a wiener.
I dig you, lolsinhower. I find your douchiness uber sexy…
wow that explains a lot! you have 11 facebook accounts and your IQ dropped by 50 each time … explains why you’re such a morron … maybe it would help you to have a social life in the REAL world
moron** (spelled with 1 r)
you just made my day.
Yeah, or when you read the stupidity on it.
then my IQ would be 181 by your standards good..person for my IQ is 131 and I joined facebook a long time before I had the test
Decrement: the act or process of decreasing; gradual reduction…
And you’re saying your base IQ is 131? … Are you sure?
No, you’re thinking of when you have a screen name such as “Jibble”.
Facebook is a medium people use to network and socialize, and nothihng more and nothing less. There are stupid people like you in every social networking site; that doesn’t mean that everyone on a social networking site is stupid.
***nothing. Just saying
I like pancakes!
What is your position on waffles?
I like waffles, but do you like french toast?
Parry Gripp loves french toast!
3 feet, North by North-West, on the table. Awaiting further orders.
congrats ….. you sir win free suryp ….. syurp ….. syrup …. ahhh screw this whole spelling crap !!!
Don’t give up! You got it right the last time.
You won way before facebook was invented, retard.
But I have a rash. I’d better not.
^ you win one of me
Kinky.

*breathe, you forgot the consonant ‘E’
I think he suffocated in his own fervor before he could finish.
By the way, if it was sarcasm in response to the failbooking, good for you, but an ‘E’ really is a vowel. Hard to believe for some people apparently, but yeah.
That would be wit.
Good on you for missing the obvious reincorporative humour though.
I believe you just made my day.
This person needs to watch some Wheel of Fortune…
Or maybe some Countdown.
My thoughts exactly. If Vanna will sell it to you, it’s a vowel.
Is Vanna’s naked body a vowel?
I’d like to buy a vowel.. or an elephant.
That’s A elephant. Duh.
No, its AN squirrel. Squirrels are much bigger and obviously better.
Squirrels are awesome.
Technically they’re both wrong. The rule isn’t that an precedes vowels. The rule is that an precedes words with a vowel sound. For instance, honorable starts with a consonant but would take an, because ho makes a vowel sound. Similarly, various constructions of words starting with U or O take a rather than an: examples, a unicorn, a one-sided game.
Sorry. Not as witty as “first”.
As valid a point that may be, the “An” guy isn’t the one we’re lolling at.
but “elephant” starts with a vowel sound … hence his correction being correct.
So it’s “yo sister is an ho”? Man, English is confusing.
Not sure if you’re serious, but no.
“Ho” starts with “H”, or the H sounds, so its A ho.
So does “hour” but it’s “an hour.”
Seriously? “hour” .. pronounced “ow-er”. It’s a vowel sound.
“Ho” … “h-oh” … it’s a consonant sound.
You can’t possibly be saying that when you say the word “hour”, you say it as “how-er”. Reread the post you just replied to and try again.
English sucks at spelling. Slavonic languages may be weird, with all those grammatical cases and stuff, but at least we know the exact spelling of a word just from its sound and vice versa.

I really want to know who this person is, so I can periodically send them messages of abuse.
If you ever figure out who it is, let me know. I would also like to partake in said activity…
WhAt a FuCkTaRd..!
That is a definite FML moment.
Actually, the rule is if it starts with a vowel sound it needs an. That is why some words that begin with an H use an as well. (see how I did that)
Dumb, dumb, dumb.
Who the fuck says the letter “E” isn’t a vowel?
Some retarded American, who else? Looking slim and pretty is more important than learning stuff, apparently.
“OOOOhh Americans are stupid”, you have cut us to the quick, we are all going home and taking our internet with us.
I take offense at that, I’m American and fairly slim, but I’m not stupid. Sure, we’ve got some pretty dumb people in our country, it’s just really annoying when people jump on the “all Americans are idiots” bandwagon.

Bill f***ing Gates. Need I say more? SOME americans are stupid. Others are responsible for one of the most revolutionary inventions of all time.
They don’t even know anything about other countries
Actually, that “rule” does not take effect because of an actual vowel. If a word begins with a vowel (unrestricted air flow) sound, use the article “an,” and if it begins with a consonant (restricted air flow) sound, use the article “a.” The graphic representation of vowel bears no importance in the article rule.
Perhaps you are right on the article rule, but calling the letter “E” a consonant is a definite fail.
For example, an hour. It starts with a consonant, but has that unrestricted flow so ‘an’ is used.
But seriously, did someone constantly fail kindergarden??
Indeed. One may own an umbrella, but one is not a member of an union.
But “E” is still a vowel.
Es are are good, Es are good
E’s Ebeneezer Goode
Is there a word that begins with a vowel, but has a consonant sound? I can’t think of any…
union in the example above kind of starts with a consonant sound. Wierd that how it a union but an onion. Almost same word but man does trying to say a onion sound wrong lol.

A word that begins with a vowel but has a consonant sound –
European – as in a European idiot!
university, united nation, unabomber, unique, universe, utah, urine, urea, uranus…
Cheldon’s right and Rache isn’t. E is a vowel…
LOL, that just made my day xD
Ugh I’ve always hated that comeback. Smart Onnnnee.
Mostly because it’s Dumb Onees. who say it.
Plus, it sounds retarded when you actually say it out loud
Oh my gods, this one has to be my favorite one of all. I LMAO on that one.
My armpits smell funny. My poop came out quite violently and runny. I think I got some in my hair.
i hate when that hapend to me
Go seek help.
I hope that idiot sees this failbook entry. Who the fuck doesn’t know that “E” is a vowel?
Of course he’ll see it, he’s the one that submitted it!
no, the one that made the correction is the one that submitted it. see that “Delete” option?
This guy is such an fucking idiot
cool coment
My apologies, but I just have to take this time to tell that this guy is such “a fucking idiot”, not “an fucking idiot.” With that said, yes, this guys is a fucking idiot.
I think Eoin’s misuse of “an” was intentional. But nice try, anyway.
there are more comments here about how stupid each other posts are, and not enough on the moron who can’t tell that ‘e’ is a vowel
Welcome to the flame wars
Dang I keep forgetting that : and P combined make the
emoticon. I need to get on this site more :\
It terrifies me that they might have been serious. I don’t even want to leave my house. They might be out there.
Am I the only one who wishes we could follow up on these fails, like what was possibly written after the stupid remark was made?
no, i totally agree!! person who submitted this … give us an update!

Dude, you rule.
I’m not even sure if this is funny. The fact that someone who doesn’t know that “e” is a vowel is a) allowed to live and b) able to work facebook kinda confuses me.
*facepalm*
Why is everyone ignoring that a grammer nazi and a complete idiot are arguing ?
Point well made, have a 1upcake =]
lolinhower…you mentioned having 11 facebook accounts earlier in the thread and someone bashed you for being a “morron” and suggested that you might have a better social life in the real world. I was wondering…did you set up those 11 facebook accounts so you could send yourself gifts in games?

Not that the guy can see this but I feel all correcty(Not a word I know) today.
As far as the fail goes. LoLz – What a newfaq.
and the fact that they capitalize every word didn’t bother them?? haha. and maybe they were referring to e being a drug. this way, would it really be a vowel? or a noun?
Also… Last time I checked, you’re not supposed to capitalize the first letter of EVERYTHING word.
Grammar Nazi fail…
*Every

Engrish fail
SAT person’s name would be in Urban Dictionary next to the word *facepalm*

I consistently enjoy how EVERY SINGLE PERSON commenting on this is smarter than half of facebook users.
LOL
E isnt a vowel smart one
Actually, if a word starts with a vowel SOUND you use “an”, not just a vowel. I.e., “half AN hour”.
Thanks, but people already explained this 27 times.
